CAI Networks Releases Major WebMux Upgrade Offering Transparent Presence and Performance Enhancement for Load Balancing, Traffic Management, and SSL Acceleration

Addition of Layer 2/3 Support Makes WebMux Unique in its Class.

Santa Ana, CA (PRWEB) July 19, 2006

CAI Networks today announced the release of version 8 of its WebMuxTM product family, simplifying configuration and network management via support of SNA layers 2/3 in addition to existing support of layers 4/7. With version 8, WebMux performance capacity has been increased to support up to 3,000,000 layer-4 sessions and 70,000 layer-7 sessions.

WebMux is a widely used standalone, ready-to-install network appliance for load balancing and failover of multiple web and IP-based servers, traffic management to direct transactions to the appropriate servers based on URL or cookie, and SSL acceleration.

“Our customers praise the ease of installation and trouble free performance of the WebMux” said Pamela Sun, President of AVANU. “Our enterprise level customers will benefit from the increased concurrent sessions and added network layer 2/3 support. CAI continues to demonstrate the true meaning of lowering network administration costs.”

Unlike all other products in its class, WebMux v8 does not require content servers to be reconfigured for use with WebMux: with WebMux’s new Transparent mode, IP addresses and network routes can remain unchanged, greatly simplifying WebMux implementation and network management.
