Load Balancing ClusterScale is looking for Resellers

New firm ClusterScale is up for business and set on taking market share from established load-balancing firms like F5, Barracuda Networks and Kemp Technologies. ClusterScale director and founder Malcolm Turnbull, previously director of loadbalancer.org, said, “based on our experience of appliances, we, along with a lot of other vendors, think it would be better to move to Dell and HP appliances to ensure true global support.

” The first system is a new evolved version of the loadbalancer.org product – a standard load balancing appliance, with 64-bit hardware running a 64-bit OS. “It’s been tried and tested on many enterprise sites and we’re also offering a hardware RAID option,” said Turnbull. Turnbull commented that ClusterScale’s hardware aims to do the 5-6 tasks that customers do need,

 

“very, very fast.”ClusterScale has two models available, both using Dell PowerEdge hardware, Pegasys and Nemasys. The higher end Nemasys system uses a PowerEdge 1950 model which ClusterScale say can use their own customised Centos 5 based platform or can be run on Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux 5 platform. ClusterScale offer hot swappable RAID on the Nemasys system and claim greater than 2Gbit/s throughput. The systems are available through ClusterScale sales offices or through their distributors and resellers.

In Q2 ClusterScale will release a clustered, mirrored database system for Oracle and MySQL packages.
