Global Load Balancing for Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, Performance Optimization and Data Center Management.

Zeus Global Load Balancer delivers business continuity and improved performance over multiple data centers.

Zeus Global Load Balancer is a powerful, easy-to-use Global Server Load Balancing solution that provides business continuity and improved customer experience by enabling failover and load balancing across globally distributed data centers. It is a DNS-based Global Server Load Balancing product that allows organizations to host business-critical services from multiple locations.

With Zeus Global Load Balancer, your customers will:

  • Ensure business continuity in the event of a site attack, data center failure or unplanned maintenance
  • Place services closer to the users, giving them a faster, more reliable service and a better overall experience
  • Improve data center utilization and efficiency by directing traffic towards data centers with spare capacity as user volumes move throughout the day
  • Reduce system administration risks by draining traffic away from services in a data center before planned maintenance
  • Obtain a clear picture of where users are located and which data centers they are accessing

Zeus Global Load Balancer is based on the award-winning Zeus Traffic Manager. Zeus Global Load Balancer is a standalone device that functions equally well with any vendor's load-balancing or network infrastructure.
