Foundry Announces Support For WebLogic App Load Balancing

Foundry Networks Inc, a performance and total solutions leader for end-to-end switching and routing, announced integrated support for BEA Systems WebLogic Server in its market-leading ServerIron Layer 4-7 switches. Using the new ServerIron features, BEA WebLogic customers can implement persistence and stateful failover for client connections in advanced BEA WebLogic Server cluster configurations, which help maximize application availability and server farm scalability. Foundry also announced it has joined the BEA Partner Program.

Foundry and its ServerIron Layer 4-7 load balancing switches are industry leaders in security, performance and intelligence, with support for a rich set of Layer 4 and Layer 7 features. The switches can deliver unprecedented performance of up to 108,000 application transactions per second, and protect server farms and applications against wire-speed Gigabit-rate Denial of Service (DoS) attacks up to 1.5 million TCP requests per second. With unsurpassed scalability and security for the mission-critical IP application infrastructure, ServerIron switches are the choice of the most demanding Enterprise and Service Provider customers. Newly integrated ServerIron support for BEA WebLogic Server is designed to deliver these benefits, along with advanced high availability clustering solutions, to BEA customers.
