The user-friendly menu-driven interface makes WebMux fast to deploy and easy to manage.
WebMux scalable models are available as software appliances for virtual infrastructure platforms or plug-and-run network hardware appliances for deployment ease, reliable high performance, and built to last quality with server-grade components. Whether your network is on-premise or in a hosted/co-lo data center, WebMux meets your network traffic load balancing requirements to ensure high availability. WebMux meets the U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard Publication (FIPS) 140-2 Levels 1 & 2 validated encryption computer security standard, Trade Agreements Act (TAA), and Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance.
The WebMux Network Traffic Manager provides these benefits for your network infrastructure and its administration:
Performance
The traffic to servers are distributed among the server farm so that a site can handle more than a single server alone. Other features, such as SSL Offloading and HTTP cache, help reduce impact on server resources.
Scalability
After a farm has been created, more servers can be added to handle the workload as needed without interruption to the network.
Redundancy/Fault Tolerance
A farm contains several servers that serve the same site. If a server should fail, the WebMux health check will detect the failed server and send requests to the remaining servers. Therefore, keeping the site online.
Reduce Site Maintenance Downtime
Servers in a farm can be taken offline for maintenance without interrupting the site.
