MAIDENHEAD, England, February 18 /PRNewswire/ --     As we enter the next generation of the Internet and cloud computing, the
reliance on access to data held anywhere across the globe becomes more
critical than ever.

Fundamental to this accessibility is ADC or Application Delivery Control,
a technology that is historically complex and expensive. However, jetNEXUS'
ALB-X (Accelerating Load Balancer Extreme) technology provides guaranteed
server availability and application delivery at an affordable price.

The ALB-X product, available as a dedicated appliance or as a virtual
appliance (for VMware), significantly undercuts the cost of rival products in
either form factor, while offering full Layer 4 to Layer 7 load balancing and
traffic management capabilities. Features include Connection Management,
Compression, SSL Offload as well as Content Caching. Content Caching is
usually an expensive and complex to configure add-on which dramatically
reduces data access times as well as reducing the number of physical server
and license requirements. One customer has reported that it now serves 94% of
all its content from the ALB-X cache, meaning huge operational costs savings
as well as massive performance gains. In addition to this, jetNEXUS
application acceleration comes as standard, meaning that pages can be
delivered, in many cases, more than twice as fast, using significantly less
bandwidth.

Steve Broadhead, Founder & Director of independent test labs,
Broadband-Testing, explained: "Results from the MyWebAlert website monitoring
service have proved that web server downtime, application and service
availability are still major issues for online platforms. The problem has
been for companies to find the right level of Load-Balancer or ADC that isn't
over-engineered and vastly over-priced for their needs.

"The jetNEXUS products provide every critical feature for ensuring
application and service delivery, but are affordable for any small to medium
business, not just the enterprise-level guys. We are talking the kind of
features that should be built into server OS's but never will be. In 2009,
this is must-have stuff, not simply a 'nice to have'."

"The VA - Virtual Appliance - version of the ALB-X product takes the
value proposition even further - the full feature set with no specialist
hardware requirement and zero real estate; it just sits on a server as a
virtual appliance," he added.
