CyberIQ Systems Announces Multi-Level Clustering Software Enhancement for Complex E-Sites; HyperFlow2 Rel 3.0 Increases Performance and Reduces Latency for Rich Media E-sites.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2000 CyberIQ Systems, a leading provider of Internet traffic Internet traffic is the flow of data around the Internet. It includes web traffic, which is the amount of that data that is related to the World Wide Web, along with the traffic from other major uses of the Internet, such as electronic mail and peer-to-peer networks. and e-site resource management solutions, today announced the release of a new software enhancement for HyperFlow2 called HyperFlow2 Rel 3.0. This new feature set improves the availability and scalability of high performance e-sites. Switch Based Architecture As a switch based Internet traffic management system -- HyperFlow2 -- offers superior performance over PC-based products by enabling large cluster configurations, providing consistent high performance, and allowing all features to be supported simultaneously without affecting the maximum performance of the unit. A recent report from the Dell'Oro Group indicates a big shift from appliance based load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them to switch based. "We project that L4-7 SW LB revenues will grow from 30% of the total market (switches and appliances) to greater than 60% in 2000 as the number of Web servers proliferate and the need for performance outweighs the flexibility and feature set of appliances." Complexity of E-sites As e-sites become more complex their need for higher availability and reduced latency increases. HyperFlow2 Rel 3.0 addresses these needs through a unique feature called MLC (MultiLevel Cell) A flash memory technology that stores more than one bit per cell. Traditional flash memory defines a 0 or 1 bit based on a single voltage threshold. (multi-layer clustering) that increases rich media performance over traditional software or appliance based solutions. HyperFlow2 Rel.3, offers transparent clustering and load distribution among routers, firewalls, DNS (Domain Name System) A system for converting host names and domain names into IP addresses on the Internet or on local networks that use the TCP/IP protocol. For example, when a Web site address is given to the DNS either by typing a URL in a browser or behind the , cache, VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. , and Web/content servers. This results in a highly available, fast, secure and scalable e-business infrastructure solution. The new release also supports unlimited user sessions A count of how many times all users access a Web site regardless whether the same person came back several times during the measurement period. If a user leaves and returns within a short time, some systems count those sessions as one. Contrast with unique visitors. See also user session. and low-latency request processing. This new software upgrade is part of CyberIQ's high availability Also called "RAS" (reliability, availability, serviceability) or "fault resilient," it refers to a multiprocessing system that can quickly recover from a failure. There may be a minute or two of downtime while one system switches over to another, but processing will continue. and scalability solution provided by the award winning, switch based, HyperFlow2. HyperFlow2 resolves web site congestion The condition of a network when there is not enough bandwidth to support the current traffic load. congestion - When the offered load of a data communication path exceeds the capacity. and single server failures by treating multiple service devices as one. Clustering individual servers provides virtual service availability. High availability is achieved by HyperFlow2 automatically and transparently redirecting client requests to other servers in the cluster if any server fails. HyperFlow2 is part of the total e-site resource management solution provided by CyberIQ. Other products include: HyperFlow3, HyperWAN, and HyperCommerce. MLC is also available on HyperFlow3 Rel 1.0.
