Oakland , CA
SysMaster Corporation - a leading developer of high-end server load balancing and traffic management network appliances, announced today the launch of its SM 7000 high-availability appliance. The SM 7000 features WAN connectivity, Layer 7 (L7) and SSL acceleration module - in addition to the load balancing, bandwidth management, traffic shaping, and denial of service prevention modules featured in the earlier SM 5000.
"The new L7 and SSL acceleration functionality will allow our company to not only compete successfully in the L4 loadbalancing market, but also to gain momentum in content-switching and HTTP 1.1 processing," said Boris Panteleev, CTO of SysMaster™ Corporation. "Unlike most competing products, our L7 and SSL acceleration functionalities support multiple-call switching and header processing of HTTP 1.1 to allow improved performance and high processing scalability".
The SysMaster Network Management Platform (SM NMP) is comprised of an extensive set of basic functionalities that are used by all modules built on the platform. The platform provides two layers of modularity, where each layer provides further sets of capabilities that make the entire framework extremely flexible and scalable. This approach allows for easy maintenance and simple upgrades, hence reduced TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) in the long run. The SysMaster™ platform is capable of running many modules on a single device. This makes it a unique universal solution for the enterprise, eliminating the need for many other separate devices such as routers, load balancers, bandwidth managers, firewalls, WAN connectivity devices, network monitors and more. Currently the SysMaster™ Platform supports the following function modules that can be used in an all-in-one fashion:L4/L7 Server Loadbalancing, Global DNS Server (GDNS), Bandwidth Management (QoS), Denial of Service Prevention, Firewall , Router and WAN Link Module.
