Re: Zeus ZXTM?

Julian,

 

I won’t pull a sales pitch—I’m actually interested in knowing if you could share what those alternate setups are?  Like what’s the business case, requirements, etc.?  Anyone who has read any of my posts over the last decade knows that I’m a strong supporter of understanding the problem before recommending a solution—and no single product can ever be the perfect solution for every problem.  So, I’m constantly curious as to the real-world problems that prompt people to say “hey, maybe there’s a better way or alternative to the way we’ve been doing that”.

 

For one—it just makes me more knowledgeable.   At the same time, if there is something that we are completely falling short on, this is a good way to understand what that is and why.

 

Thanks!!

I tested Zeus ZXTM and it worked well for me, and it can do pretty much everything an F5 LTM will do and had something that had basic iRules functionality.

But a new F5 BIG-IP 1600 is under $20k, so ZXTM won't really save you much money (based on the last time I got prices out of them).

Regards,
Vince

Hi – has anyone any experience, good or bad of using Zeus ZXTMor  ZXTM LB? We almost exclusively use F5 LTM’s at present and have been asked to look at Zeus as an alternative for some setups.

Thanks – Julian.
