[AusNOG] Load Balancer Experience / recommendations ?

[Wade Millican]

A10 (http://www.a10networks.com/). Same/better features/performance of F5 and 1/3 of the price. (Yes, I've used them in production SSL-offloading & load balancing 90 million hits a month).

+1 to F5; great kit / features, price point, well, you've read what's said.

Trivial A10 on note; they include extra screws for rack mounting with their kit.

+1 to F5.

As previously stated, certainly not the cheapest but much easier to use and very powerful devices.

We've been doing a bit lately with F5's LTM / GTM, which are crazy-awesome, but probably not that cost-effective compared to other solutions.  If you can be bothered learning to use them, Citrix Netscalers are way cheaper although less ... well, less good.

Hi Noggers,

I’m after some advice for the best, practical, and current generation server load balancers that people are using at present.

Our older Alteons are ageing and are really only geared up for V4 so I’m looking to freshen up.

I’m keen to hear what’s new / current / cost effective / feature filled at present in peoples minds to go window shopping.

Kind Regards,
Sean.
