Application Delivery and Traffic Management Appliance - What do our customers think?

These are some genuine quotes from customers who love our simple and powerful Application Delivery and Traffic management Appliances.

"We love to hear from you so don't hesitate to contact us and discuss your load balancing infrastructure"




Load Balancing Software - Price is not always the deciding factor, but it helps.

"We saved $140,000 by not going with an F5 application delivery network solution, and we never looked back"

"The thing that impressed me was that support questions are actually answered by someone who knows what they are talking about."

"We tried Microsoft NLB and compared it to a Loadbalancer.org ENTERPRISE appliance. We were shocked to find the Loadbalancer decimated the other solution on performance & features."

"Our old Foundry kit was maxing out at about 900 Mb/s on persistent connections...the ENTERPRISE pair we now have doesn't even break a sweat."

"I never thought that I would buy 5 load balancers... but it just saves so much hassle.."

"We've finished our testing of LoadBalancing solutions (we tested both Loadbalancer.org and JetNexus using Microsoft WAS) and found that Loadbalancer performed better in virtually all circumstances we could throw at it (we were unable to really tell the difference when throttling bandwidth via WAS) - especially in our "real-life" scenarios (based on usage over our WAN/LAN)."

"Firstly, thanks to both the support engineers I talked to  for your very rapid response. Apple and O2 could learn a thing or two from you ;-)"
 

Frequently asked questions

What do our customers say about us?

We have many customers some large, some small but they all want performance, high availability, quality support and
value for money.

Grasshopper "We have been amazed at how stable and reliable our Loadbalancer.org product has been. What has amazed us even more was how attentive and excellent their support is! They go above and beyond to help resolve issues. They even continued to help us with one issue having to do with ARP Cache, long after it was clear the issue was with our network rather than the LoadBalancer.org software, not many companies go above and beyond like that these days! The team at Loadbalancer.org has also wow'd us by showing that their support is not affected by time zones, they provide excellent customer support 24/7/365!"

JBPCO Logo "Our company was in desperate need for a solution that would allow us to scale our application delivery throughout our enterprise. After researching and testing solutions, the EnterpriseVA solution was the perfect fit. The ease of deployment, management and scalability was unmatched. We have been extremely pleased with the performance and stability of the EnterpriseVA solution. This solution allowed us to leverage our current virtual infrastructure for unmatched availability and stability. The times I had to get support I was greeted within minutes of sending off the call for help, something that is truly rare now days! Thanks Loadbalancer.org for providing an amazing solution and having an amazing support team to go along with it!"

Resolute Digital "I first looked at Loadbalancer.org's Enterprise pair as a more cost-sensitive solution than the alternative "Big Iron" vendors could provide. In the last three years, it has proven itself to be everything it advertises and more. The only thing better than the solution is the support that Loadbalancer.org brings to the table with it. We're about to deploy these for our second datacenter as well."

"Our solution at the time was running close to the limit of what I was comfortable with for its rating, but the logical choice for us to move on to a more powerful same supplier solution was not an option. Cisco stopped producing a stand alone solution and built the load balancing technology into a product range that wasn’t suitable for our needs. The search for a suitable replacement began and as well looking at offerings from the usual suspects we reached for Google
The two Sledgehammer high availability clustered pairs we bought were hugely cost effective while at the same time offering the fault tolerance level ASOS needed to give the confidence to commit to the service levels ASOS aims to provide its customer base"

"We shopped around and compared priced. loadbalancer.org beat the competition
hands down. And not only that, but it was up and running in minutes, with a smart,
easy to use interface. Our units have been running for just over 2 years and have
never failed and have been a lifesaver to our organization"

"We distribute large multi-terabyte global datasets based on satellite remote sensing for environmental (land use, climate change and biodiversity) research using Google Earth as a visualization tool, see here. The loadbalancer enables us to use many low-cost desktops as servers and achieve better outcomes than having investing in fewer but high end (high cost) servers. The loadbalancer has been easy to set up and works like a dream. We can very cheaply add new server capacity as the demand grows and the failure of individual servers is also easy and inexpensive to solve with no disruption to QoS"

"Our site went from <2mb/sec to over 60mb/sec during the course of one week and the load-balancers never appeared under duress in any way… they slept through it.

I was able to pre-configure the entire environment using VMware server to be sure that what I wanted to do would work effectively. The units are cost effective enough for us to consider deploying them in high numbers without being forced us to reduce the number of production servers we deploy to each site."

“The Enterprise Clustered Pairs are the cornerstone of our business infrastructure. We provide Mobile Streaming Services to thousands of customers around the world, and Loadbalancer.org products ensure that we provide the highest level of customer service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They have ensured 100% uptime for our service, even when we have experience large scale server failures.

Our technical team found that the Enterprise Clustered Pairs were incredibly easy to install and configure, but the most important feature of the Clustered Pairs is that they have continued to do their job invisibly for over a year without anybody going near them.”

"Eurogamer have been very happy with loadbalancers from Loadbalancer.org, particularly due to their speed and stability. We have had no down-time from
our device in over 2 years and they have handled significant traffic ( >15,000,000 page impressions/month) without a hiccup. The appliance is
significantly better value than comparable hardware load-balancers from other corporations. It is also a blessed relief to be free of the restrictive licensing and support practices that seem to go hand in hand
with hardware network appliances from other companies. We would strongly recommend the Loadbalancer.org devices to any companies who plan to handle high volume web traffic."
