NetScaler's customers have been jumping ship in their hundreds, if not thousands, to this lesser-known competitor.
With a big, powerful and expensive ADC load balancer, there can be a strong temptation to load balance multiple applications – but when uptime is critical, could it become a single point of failure?
At Loadbalancer.org, we've always taken a unique approach to support – offering consultative services that are tailored to individual customer needs.
Our expertise enabled an IT services provider to ensure reliability and high availability service for existing and new customers.

While data storage was simple once upon a time – it isn’t anymore.
In this ever-evolving business world, flexibility is the key to long-term success.
The explosion of information in our everyday lives has driven the technology market to create newer, faster technologies to cater for the storage and access to the data created.
If you think migrating your load balancers to virtual or cloud would cost you big bucks, we've got some good news. Our Freedom License offers customers seamless migration – absolutely free!
So many companies enforce end-of-life (EOL) on their products, but our customers are free to choose when to upgrade their appliances. Unlike our competitors, we don’t EOL our products.
I often hear that AWS seems expensive, in most cases, this is because people are not fully aware of the best cost-saving practices. Amazon offers many tools to help keep costs down and is always working to improve on these. One such recent improvement is the new "AWS Savings Plans".
I didn't ask anything about the load balancer's features, because we already know the market is mature and I have no unusual requirements. I also didn't ask about the load balancer's maximum performance.
The primary function of a load balancer is to keep your application running with no downtime. It is an invaluable tool for systems architects, and it has the benefit of being pretty simple to understand.
We were delighted last week to host Smoothwall for a day with our team. Fuelled by coffee and Krispy Kreme doughnuts, our discussions helped us learn from one another so that we can work together even more effectively.
Typically, Citrix NetScaler customers have a few hundred load-balanced clusters, with 3+ Gbps and 10,000+ SSL transactions per second (TPS). Whereas your typical Kemp customer will have 2-5 load balanced clusters with less than 100 Mbps throughput and less than 5 SSL TPS.
We have built upon our existing strengths in virtualized environments to become Nutanix certified, with the addition of support for Nutanix AHV positions.

It's really annoying when people believe that something traditional (proven to work) is somehow worse, than something that is modern (looks like a cool idea).
If you've ever bought anything online, you've more than likely gone searching for reviews about a business. Based on your findings, it's likely to have heavily influenced whether you followed through with your purchase. However, should you trust a collection of random strangers thoughts.
Several people visiting our stand mentioned the announcement that Kemp Technologies had released a free load balancer. Understandably, they were interested to hear if we would be responding in kind.
My first piece of code was an animated fish tank (because I wasn't allowed a real one). I soon started dreaming of being a software developer and started learning machine code.
Our aim is always to deliver the features you want, without presenting you with a deluge of checkboxes. Anything out of the ordinary can be achieved via a separate manual configuration - and we are always happy to build one for you.
As I design, build and sell load balancers based on LVS and HAProxy, it’s in my interests to combat the avalanche of NGINX+ marketing propaganda that I've seen over the last year. Let's call it an attempt to skewer fake news.
I dream of a world where people stop calling a *link balancer* a *load balancer* — because we don't sell link balancers!
