Intelligent Application Traffic Management Users think in terms of applications. Servers think in terms of applications. Isn't it time your network thought in terms of applications? The E550si does just that. Unlike layer 4 load balancers, the E550si looks deep into Web traffic so your business can deliver high performance application traffic management with a single, easy-to-use appliance.

Data Center Class Capacity
Never before has capacity planning been made so easy. The high performance engine of the E550si scales to data center class capacity. With throughput at multi-gigabit speeds, you can rest assured this engine won't be running out of gas anytime soon. In addition to high throughput, the E550si scales to support an unlimited number of servers.

Fast SSL and Lower Bandwidth: Compliance Done Right
Compliance isn't just for accountants and auditors anymore. Applications have to provide secure access too, and that means using SSL. However, not all applications were written with SSL in mind or scale when SSL is turned on. These problems go away with the optional hardware-based SSL. Processing is moved from your servers to the network which makes applications significantly faster so security can be added without changing a thing.

When compliance also means consolidated data centers, users pay the penalty in higher latency. With the optional hardware based SSL and compression acceleration technology both you and your users win. Bandwidth costs plummet as much as 50% and end user response times improve up to 5x. Even better, hardware acceleration means no performance penalty for other functions. It's a great win for everyone.

Easy to Install, Even Easier to Use
Equalizer is the hassle-free solution to load balancing. It slides effortlessly into any network so you'll be up and running in less than an hour. Best of all, it's equally easy to manage. Simply put, Equalizer takes the guesswork and complexity out of application traffic management. You'll have detailed graphical tracking of operation overviews and performance statistics from any desktop web browser. In other words, you'll have it all.

Predictable, Reliable and Consistent
The bottom line for any business is making sure services offered are predictable, reliable and consistent. Offering that quality means having an infrastructure that promises the same. The E550si delivers on that commitment.
