distribution system for updating its customers' software.

exponential growth and complexity in Internet security threats, the
company required a reliable and massively scalable means to deliver

their security software when a new virus strikes.

Thinkpad Speedera's Traffic Balancer service provides global load
balancing for distributed Web sites with two or more origin sites.
It intelligently routes client requests to the fastest available
origin site, bypassing overloaded or failed sites to overcome
network congestion and site outages, thus maximizing performance
and availability.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
Microsoft With a dedicated worldwide network of strategically located
global traffic managers and network probes, Speedera's Traffic
Balancer makes its routing decisions based on configurable policies
and real-time network, server, and application health criteria such
as network latency, link-to-link outages, packet loss, CPU
utilitization, and others. In the case of F-Secure's system,
Speedera's service also utilizes application server management data
extracted from F-Secure's download system, to optimize load
balancing decisions. In the event of an origin site failure,
Traffic Balancer ensures that traffic fails over gracefully to the
remaining origin sites without overloading them.
