Coyote Point Equalizer E650GX | Application Delivery and Acceleration Appliance

Intelligent, high performance application delivery:

When your goal is superior application performance and availability Coyote Point's Equalizer E650GX is an all-in-one application delivery appliance designed to do just that. With load balancing performance at Gigabit speeds, and boasting built in hardware based SSL processing and HTTP Web compression this flagship Equalizer appliance has everything you need to assure your applications are always available and performing at peak speeds.

Equalizer E650GX has unprecedented capabilities including geographic load balancing and disaster recovery provided by Envoy Coyote Point's award winning Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) software.

Users think in terms of applications. Servers think in terms of applications. Isn't it time your network thought in terms of applications? The E650GX does just that. Application-centric layer-7 load balancing allows the E650GX to look deep into Web traffic, helping your business deliver high performance application traffic management with a single, easy-to-use appliance.

Enterprise Class Capacity:

Never before has capacity planning been this easy. The high performance E650GX scales to data center class capacity with throughput exceeding gigabit speeds. The individual processors dedicated to SSL processing and Web object compression assure you'll have the performance you need to deliver fast, secure Web and application content. The E650GX scales to support an unlimited number of servers.

The Challenge: Faster SSL and Lower Bandwidth requirements:

More and more applications require higher levels of access security. Website operators must offer fast response times to minimize abandon rates. The E650GX addresses these challenges with dedicated hardware offload. By moving CPU intensive SSL acceleration and Web content compression from your servers to Equalizer, businesses benefit from the E650GX 'power of three'. With three individual processors dedicated to load balancing, SSL acceleration and HTTP compression; the result is secure and efficient processing of your Web traffic. Both you and your users win as page load times improve up to 5x while bandwidth requirements plummet as much as 50%.

Redundancy and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB):

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) provides inter-site high-availability between data centers and completes the application delivery solution of the Equalizer E650GX. Envoy™ is the E650GX 's Global Server Load-Balancing engine. Envoy directs traffic across multiple data centers according to business-defined policies matched against real-time performance and availability metrics gathered from each data center. Envoy's sophisticated Geographic Query Protocol creates fine-grained, wide-area redirection for every client request without adding connection latency. As with all Equalizer appliances redundant failover is fully supported with a secondary Equalizer so you'll be up and running all day, every day. It's all completely under your control.

Easy to install, even easier to use:

Equalizer is the hassle-free solution to application delivery. Our intuitive administrative interface provides a dynamic user friendly experience. Configuration wizards make Equalizer easy to configure and manage by leading users through the set-up process for clusters, servers, match rules and failover configurations.

Best of all, it's equally easy to manage. All on-screen objects are interactive to make installing and managing Equalizer simple. You'll have detailed graphical views with configuration and status reporting that is accessible and comprehensive. Users have quick and easy access to summary statistics of clusters and servers, or the ability to drill down to fine-grained details. Simply put, Equalizer takes the guesswork and complexity out of application traffic management.

Predictable, Reliable and Consistent:

The bottom line for any business is making sure services offered are predictable, reliable and consistent. To offer that level of quality means having an infrastructure that promises the same. The E650GX helps you deliver on that commitment with dedicated processing power, comprehensive application delivery capabilities and superior reliability.
