Coyote Point Systems and Reactive Networking Sign Co-Marketing Agreement

ReactorLevel's Agents Enhance Performance Monitoring with Coyote Points Equalizer Load Balancing Appliance

Plano, TX (PRWEB) June 30, 2001 -- Reactive Networking, Inc., an innovative provider of network security and traffic monitoring products, and Coyote Point Systems, Inc., the price/performance leader in Internet Traffic Management, today announced a co-marketing agreement to deliver enhanced performance monitoring in clustered, load-balanced server farms.

The partnership enables networks using Coyote Points intelligent load balancing appliance, Equalizer 5.0¸ to obtain more fine-grained monitoring of server and cluster performance by deploying Reactive Networkings ReactorLevel V2, a sophisticated multi-tier load determination agent.

ReactorLevel V2 enhances Equalizers multi-tier service fault tolerance and fault avoidance. An Equalizer equipped with ReactorLevel V2 can monitor the impact of back-tier services on the delivery of the primary services, bypassing heavily loaded or failed back-tier servers.

Additionally, by moving the load analysis from the appliance to the ReactorLevel agents placed on the servers, administrators can simplify server weighting functions and thus improve the server selection and load balancing process, especially at the heavy load range. While Coyote Point offers free basic server agents, customers opting to deploy ReactorLevel agents can simplify the scripting process and more precisely target potentially fragile applications or operating system components running on their server farms and multi-tier architectures.

ReactorLevel not only provides more detailed information than other agents -- it also makes it easy to deploy those agents and to customize their monitoring and reporting features," said Tom Wolf, Coyote Points Director of Sales and Marketing. Thats in perfect keeping with Coyote Points mission, which is to simplify not only the load balancing deployment process but also overall network administration while providing intelligent load balancing at an affordable price."

A combination of load balancing and close monitoring of server performance vastly increases both the speed and reliability of mission-critical network applications," said Mike Peter, VP of marketing for Reactive Networking. ReactorLevel v2 running with Equalizer, allows administrators to pinpoint bottlenecks while Equalizer bypasses the failed servers or applications."
