Layers 4 - 7 Traffic Management & Load Balancing with Built-In SSL Acceleration for Local Networks
WebMux Load Balancers support the latest Microsoft® solutions to stay connected. Microsoft's Lync™ Server 2010 unifies powerful voice, video, e-mail, and text communications capabilities. It can maximize the ability of your enterprise to reach people, locally or remotely, with the greatest speed, efficiency, and convenience. Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 is the next step in the evolution from Office® Communications Server 2007. It enhances capabilities and efficiency in communicating with people by the best methods available at any given time, including: Instant messaging/IM, peer-to-peer and multi-party voice and video calling, audio/video/web conferencing, presence (being able to reach people wherever they are-by the best means at that moment), file transfer, and public switched telephone network (PSTN) connectivity. Communications not only occur within an organization but between organizations--as well as to the general public--whether it is through the Internet or the variety of telephone systems (including POTS and cellular/mobile). Lync™ provides the capability and the WebMux add cost-effective high availability.
WebMux Load Balancers from CAI Networks provides a simple, robust and effective solution for managing the complexity of an enterprise’s Lync™ Server traffic between the servers that processes the users’ communications traffic.

WebMux Load Balancer product line is known for its sophisticated features, straightforward management interfaces that are simple to use, and affordability. The WebMux, from the full-featured, yet affordable, 481SD to the impressive throughput of the 690PG, fits a wide range of load balancing needs. Easily integrate the WebMux into a Microsoft® Lync™ Server 2010 architecture that provides for a smart solution.
