Running ZXTM on Blade Systems
This white paper investigates the performance of the ZXTM software on blade servers. It was demonstrated that ZXTM ran as efficiently on blades as on conventional hardware, and that performance scaled linearly as additional blades were added to the ZXTM cluster.
ZXTM is the ideal traffic management solution for a blade based environment. It can be deployed on the same blades as the application and database servers themselves, saving space and power in the datacenter.
Zeus Technology thanks IBM for providing access to the IBM BladeCenters used for the benchmarks described in this paper, and the staff of the IBM Innovation Centre, Hursley for their assistance and advice.
