Coyote Point Unveils Most Powerful, Affordable Enterprise-Class Application Acceleration/Load Balancing Appliances for Mid-Market
leading provider of application acceleration and load balancing solutions for
mid-market companies, today announced the next generation of its load
balancing and application acceleration product line: The Equalizer GX family.
Built on new hardware and software architectures, the Equalizer GX family
provides up to 400 percent performance gains when compared to its predecessor.
Providing reduced power consumption, improved reliability, updated components
for extended life, and the newest version of Coyote Point’s EQ/OS software
platform, IT managers can now reduce infrastructure expenditures, while also
ensuring 100 percent availability and increased performance of applications
across the entire company.
“The mid-market for networking technology is a hard nut to crack, as
companies require a lot before they’ll adopt a new solution,” stated
Kerravala
offering products that are sensitive to the cost-consciousness in this market,
while still offering enterprise-class performance, will certainly have a
leg-up on their competitors. In terms of application optimization, companies
such as Coyote Point Systems that also focus on reliability, ease-of-use and
ease-of-deployment — without a steep learning curve — are in a good position
to serve the sweet spot of the mid-market. We’re also seeing a real upsurge in
virtualization technology being employed by SMEs; this should be an excellent
driver for application acceleration/load balancing appliances.”
Political organization MoveOn.org is the first to deploy the Equalizer GX.
Since 1998, MoveOn.org has grown to become one of the largest online political
groups today with over five million members. Given its exponential growth, the
organization needed to upgrade its application acceleration and load balancing
technology to support the amount of Web server traffic. A current Coyote Point
customer, MoveOn.org returned to the company to support its community growth.
“We compared Coyote against other vendors, such as F5 and Foundry, and
found that there was no contest from a cost and performance standpoint,” said
MoveOn.org was 100 percent available and responsive during the critical period
leading up to the election. We couldn’t leave anything to chance when
processing online donations; SSL performance was obviously a key requirement.
Coyote delivered unbelievable support during our beta test. The E450GX was an
integral part of MoveOn.org’s success in recruiting
and over 933,800 volunteers, and had a direct influence on the success of our
campaign. Coyote provides us with plenty of room to grow, and we can sleep
better at night knowing that we have a worry-free solution.”
Coyote Point’s Equalizer GX family is comprised of three appliances, each
optimized for particular mid-market environments. Each GX product is easy to
use and set up with a Web-based GUI with integrated documentation and
real-time traffic management tools — providing dynamic feedback to users.
— Equalizer 350GX — SME application traffic manager — delivers 40
percent increase in throughout, up to 850 Mb/s, as well as a Layer 4-7 traffic
management, 12 GigE ports, and VLB Basic (TM).
— Equalizer 450GX — e-commerce accelerator appliance — includes
Xcel-II SSL offload/acceleration for 8,500 tp/s HTTPS performance. An increase
of 400 percent.
— Equalizer 650GX — complete datacenter acceleration solution for both
traditional and VMware virtual servers — guarantees uptime and business
continuity while eliminating single points of failure and preventing
over-provisioning. The E650GX includes all of the features of the E350GX and
E450GX, but adds 10 GigE ports, Express(TM) Hardware-Based Web Compression and
Coyote’s Envoy Global Load Balancing solution. The E650GX’s support for VLB
Advanced enables enhanced virtualized application availability through
intelligent load balancing. The product’s support for VLB Advanced with Smart
Controls reduces capital expenses (fewer servers) as well as reduces
operational expenses (power, cooling and management).
Said
reflected in our new GX platform, including enhanced performance, ease of use,
reliability, and cost-effectiveness that’s important for growing enterprises
with lean IT budgets. And with virtualized server environments becoming
commonplace for even SMEs, the new Equalizer GX appliances will provide the
perfect solution for monitoring and managing specific application performance
within VMware infrastructures.”
