“Intelligent elastic linkage”

Elastically expand and contract the business virtual machine according to the number of concurrent connections；
It supports the application system of three-tier structure, supports middleware such as WebSphere and JBoss, and automatically configures parameters such as IP address, Gateway and Host table for the created virtual machine; The virtual machine can be shrunk according to the time policy. It can support 8-thread extension at the same time, and can be configured flexibly.

“Comprehensive functions”

It integrates flexible linkage, application load balancing, global server load balancing, health monitor, application optimization, connection persistence, security, network, virtualization and system management.These features provide high cost performance.

“Intelligent application control”

According to the health monitor status of the business, restart the virtual machine corresponding to the failed business; According to the service response delay, restart the virtual machine with excessive service response delay, and the number of restart virtual machine can be set if the virtual machine does not work normally after restart, you can choose whether to delete the virtual machine.

“Easy to deploy and maintain”

It supports multiple deployment modes such as One-arm / transparent / routing / HA / triangle transmission. Various application templates, configuration wizard and network analysis tools are built in the system. It supports rich log and data statistics functions, and is convenient for use, maintenance and troubleshooting.

“Multiple application protection”

After the virtual machine is created, the warm start function is automatically turned on to control the slow growth of the number of connections accessing the virtual machine;Turn on the soft shutdown function automatically， before deleting the virtual machine, it need to wait for the connection request on the virtual machine to be processed.

Product Value

Flexible expansion of business automatically, intelligent and flexible, green and environmental protection

It can automatically restore the existing business nodes, reduce maintenance costs and save maintenance time

Through the expansion of business, it can speed up the business response and improve the user's access experience

Elastic expansion
Elastic linkage: according to the increase in the number of concurrent connections, the virtual machine can be dynamically created. The maximum number of virtual machines can be set to support the application system extension of three-tier architecture. After the virtual machine is created, the IP address, gateway and other configurations of the virtual machine can be automatically modified to create a virtual machine. Specific storage can be flexibly specified according to the reduction of the number of concurrent connections. Dynamic deletion of virtual machines, the minimum number of virtual machines can be set to delete virtual machines, according to the time policy, virtual machines can be deleted in a fixed period of time
Intelligent control: according to the health monitor status of the business, restart the virtual machine corresponding to the failed health monitor service, and the response delay of the virtual machine corresponding to the service. If the virtual machine fails to work normally after the restart, you can choose whether to delete the virtual machine
