LoadMaster LM-2600 - L4/L7, 1.7Gbps, 4 X GbE, 2 GB RAM, 200W ATX
LM-2600 Server Load Balancer – The LoadMaster 2600 is designed for growing workloads and features:
- 4 X GbE ports
- 1.7 Gbps L4 balancer throughput
- SSL Transactions Per/Second (TPS): 2,000
- Servers Supported: 1,000 Physical / 500 Virtual
- Requests per second (HTTP): 69,000
The LoadMaster 2600 Load Balancer is an advanced, multi-port application delivery controller with Layer 7 content switching, and integrated ASIC-based SSL acceleration. The LM 2200 load balancer intelligently and efficiently optimizes user traffic, offloads and accelerates Layer 7 applications such as SSL security and content, to optimize web and application servers. The LoadMaster 2600 gives IT administrator’s greater control, and enables them to easily adapt to network changes by providing a resource optimization layer in front of applications and servers.
The LoadMaster 2600 is an essential component of for any company seeking increased application and server availability, clustering and fault tolerance, all of which provide the infrastructure for reliable applications, Internet sites and corporate intranets. The LoadMaster 2600 enables site administrators to optimize server traffic according to content type (images, multi-media, apps) and optimizes server performance and user experience for encrypted application content.
Combining the latest advancements in content switching with a high-performance hardware platform, the LoadMaster 2600 is the value leader in application delivery optimization. The LoadMaster 2600 provides an unmatched combination of availability and performance for mission-critical servers and applications.
