"We configured the WebMux units three years ago and have never had to do anything to them or with them. They work flawlessly. As nothing has ever been wrong with the WebMux units, we have never had to do any upgrades. AVANU is great about keeping us updated on things they think we might need, such as firmware updates."

WebMux™ Load Balancers
Layer 2/3/4/5/7 Traffic Management and Load Balancing with SSL Acceleration in Local Environment

The WebMux line of load balancers consist of scaleable models that provide high performance and availability as well as high value that fits a wide range of budgets. WebMux’s flexibility and scalability lets you create and manage a pool of IP servers (such as Web servers, FTP servers, email  servers, Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server 2005 and Office Communicatons Server 2007, Oracle Internet Application Server, etc.) and budget incrementally instead of making a large up-front capital outlay.  WebMux Load Balancers are stand-alone, self-contained, and ready to install Network Appliances that manage IP traffic to multiple servers on 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks.  Enhanced reliability and  high availability of service is achieved through the use of a dedicated platform, a solid-state design, and an optimized load balancing algorithm.  This approach uses minimal overhead and requires no software interaction or other resource contention. The WebMux family comes with three (3) years product warranty and three (3) years technical support
