Just a quick comment on this point, currently, if using SSL offload, ACE (module and appliance) don't support certificate insertion in HTTP headers, also it's not GSLB capable (Cisco use another appliance, the GSS) and OSPF RHI for VIPs is not supported on the appliance (but you can use an IP SLA probe and conditionnal static route redistribution on the upstream router).

If you want to stay with the same vendor check the feature parity between the ones used in your CSS config and the ACE (appliance, the module requires a Catalyst 6500 chassis with a sup720 and the whole bundle is quite expensive :) )

Also there is a migration tool from CSS to ACE configurations (the CLI is pretty close)

My other experiences : all LB vendors (cisco, f5, citrix, foundry, radware...) implement the same features so go for the easiest solution to manage or the lowest price, depending on your requirements :)

regards,

Surya

If you are a Cisco shop, take a look at the ACE appliances.  Before you buy,
make sure that your existing requirements/features on the CSS are well
defined.  Then, make sure the ACE supports them.

Subject: [load balancing] Replacement to CSS

We have css11505 load balancers  configured as a box-to-box
redundancy. We are thinking of moving away since they are almost
reaching end of life cycle.
Does anyone has any opinion which would be the best replacement for
it? We use load balanacer for webfarm load balancing.
Thanks!
