Berkshire (I-Newswire) January 10, 2012 - jetNEXUS, a leading provider of Application Delivery Control (ADC) technology has today announced the availability of its advanced load balancing and application delivery solution, the ALB-X, in the Amazon EC2 Web Services Cloud.
The ALB-X dramatically improves the performance, reliability and manageability of application delivery environments and reduces both the infrastructure and bandwidth required to deliver web-based services. “Our availability in AWS is a major step forward for both customers and ourselves”, says jetNEXUS CEO Greg Howett. “For customers already running in AWS we hope it’s going to be a bit of a no-brainer, allowing them to improve performance and reduce their monthly AWS bills at the same time. The other great thing Amazon enables is an incredibly easy evaluation process for anyone looking to trial an ALB-X. You can have our appliance deployed and configured, even in front of your in-house infrastructure, in less than 10 minutes, literally.”
The ALB-X offers clients a range of advanced Layer 7 features, including flightPATH, a powerful, traffic routing engine. flightPATH enables the creation and implementation of bespoke application rules, empowering clients with greater control and intelligence in managing their service delivery, especially crucial for online applications and ecommerce sites.
As Greg Howett says, “The development of flightPATH is based on years of experience in the application delivery space. 99% of all traffic management, routing and manipulation requirements can be easily applied and, thanks to our innovative drag and drop functionality, don’t require the user to have any programming experience.”
ALB-X offers a wide range of ADC features that are required to deliver web applications which are otherwise unavailable on shared platforms like AWS. Advanced acceleration features such as Intelligent Compression, Content Caching, Content Expiry and Connection Pooling ensure that applications are delivered with exceptional speed to end users. The ALB-X is managed through an intuitive Web 2.0 GUI, offering superb ease-of-use and providing dynamically updating performance statistics.
"Ease of use is an absolute must for us and a great fit for Cloud environments such as AWS”, says Richard South, Head of Cloud Strategy at jetNEXUS. “We’ve worked hard to ensure that our appliance is suitable for networking experts and novices alike. Even someone with no prior experience of Load Balancers or Application Delivery Controllers could have the ALB-X deployed and delivering accelerated content with 10 minutes. And, because it’s available on a free trial basis, anyone can put these claims to the test and see for themselves.”
The evolution of Amazon Web Services itself has seen it mature from a platform largely confined to developers to one now enabling a wide range of usage scenarios, including an increasing number of enterprise application deployments. In the words of Richard South, “If you look at the platform’s trajectory, you’ll see that Amazon themselves have introduced a number of tools – such as their VMware to AWS conversion tool – to make enterprise application adoption easier than ever. You can also see key application vendors – Oracle, SAP, Microsoft – all engaged with AWS to help ease deployment of their application in the AWS cloud. What’s missing here though is the Application Delivery Controller element, to ensure Cloud-hosted apps being delivered over the web can run at LAN-like speeds and to give administrators the kind of network control they’re used to. That’s where jetNEXUS comes in – simple to deploy in AWS and tried and tested with a wide range of enterprise applications.”
“It’s a really exciting time for us and a great start to 2012”, says jetNEXUS CEO Greg Howett, “Our availability in the cloud means we now have the widest platform availability out of any ADC vendor in the world; hardware, software ISO, virtual appliance and now cloud appliance. As an innovative British company, we are very proud of this and believe that 2012 will see us established as the leading pioneers in web acceleration technology. We want jetNEXUS to be a by-word for speed in the world of application delivery.”
To celebrate the release of the ALB-X in Amazon Web Services, jetNEXUS is offering their existing customers a free one year licence for a fully featured ALB-X in AWS.
