Proto Balance Mach - the Programmable Load Balancer
Summary: linear scalability and an SOA (XML / SOAP) interface.
Proto Co Networking will soon be releasing Proto Balance Mach. This new
version of Proto Balance has a number of enterprise features that no
other load balancer can boast.
XML interface: Proto Balance Mach can be provisioned through a
programmatic interface using a simple HTTP POST request. You can add and
remove clusters and boxes, and configure and interrogate Proto Balance
Mach on the fly.
You can also build your own white-labeled solution on top of Proto Balance Mach.
You can also integrate Proto Balance Mach seemlessly into your existing provisioning
processes.
Proto Balance Mach also features a new event-based internal architecture
allowing it to have linear scalability up to 10,000 concurrent connections.
This means Proto Balance Mach can saturate a Gigabit Ethernet connection
while concurrently handling 10,000 clients. Proto Balance Mach uses the
respective custom APIs of each vendor ("epoll", "IO completion", "kqueues", "/dev/poll").
