Coyote Point Equalizer E450GX | Application Traffic Management

High performance layer 7 load balancing and hardware accelerated SSL:

The E450GX was designed with security and performance in mind. Built from the ground up to maximize application performance in SSL secured environments, the E450GX combines comprehensive Layer 7 Application Load Balancing with dedicated Xcel™ SSL hardware acceleration. The E450GX solves performance, availability and management problems commonly faced by e-Commerce, finance and other environments deploying SSL secured web based applications.

Scaling to Capacity:

Typically, servers able to handle thousands of HTTP transactions each second slow to less than ten percent of their peak capacity when delivering encrypted content. That's where the E450GX and its Xcel technology shines. The E450GX is capable of processing up to 8,500 HTTPS transactions per second, performance formerly available only in enterprise-grade devices, with enterprise price points. The E450GX offloads these CPU intensive cryptographic operations, freeing servers to do the important work of delivering web application content.

Efficient, effective and well designed:

Deployed singly or in redundant pairs, the E450GX provides the performance and features required to manage mission critical applications and services. Coyote Point's Active Content Verification technology and time-proven load balancing algorithms insure that users are always directed to the server best able to handle the load. Twelve managed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces provide the bandwidth and flexibility to deploy multi-tiered applications without additional hardware. And, Coyote Point's AJAX based web user interface provides an intuitive, responsive management console that's always available to monitor server and application performance.

Easy to Install, Even Easier to Use:

Equalizer is the hassle-free solution to load balancing. It slides effortlessly into any network so you'll be up and running in less than an hour. Best of all, it's equally easy to manage. Simply put, Equalizer takes the guesswork and complexity out of application traffic management. You'll have performance, reliability and manageability. In other words, you'll have it all.

Predictable, Reliable and Consistent:

The bottom line for any business is making sure services are predictable, reliable and consistent. Offering that quality means having an infrastructure that promises the same. The E450GX delivers on that commitment.
