GMO Hosting & Security Launches Cell Phone Load Balancer Service
Tokyo – February 17, 2010 – GMO Hosting & Security today launches a Cell Phone Load Balancer Service for managed hosting solutions(*1) .
Cell Phone Load Balancer Service
Cell phone content transmission is slower and less stable than transmission by computer. In recent years there has been a rapid increase in the number of mobile web users and when a mobile site is accessed there is now often a lag in response time. When content delivery is slow or transmission cuts out, system resources are strained and could cause site wide response delays or even bring the site down.
The new GMO-HS Cell Phone Load Balancer Service offers a solution to the problems typically encountered by mobile sites. The new service was designed for customers establishing mobile sites with GMO-HS managed hosting solutions.
Cell Phone Load Balancer Service Features
1. Easy implementation: no need to purchase expensive appliances
Implementing a load balancer requires specialized knowledge in configuration and operation. However, for Cell Phone Load Balancer Service users, iSLE takes care of everything from the purchase of network equipment to configuration and management - so implementation is easy! Customers need only supply the server for the load balancer; we purchase the necessary appliances and build features helping our customers to save on costs.
2. Up to 20,000(*2) simultaneous connections, standard redundancy
The service features standard redundancy. In case there is ever any trouble with the load balancer, the load balancing function will continue to operate. Load balancing can be performed across 2-8 servers for up to 20,000 simultaneous connections (sessions). The service also supports L4 (layer 4) to L7 (layer 7) switching(*3).
3. Load Balancer Session Information (*4) Storage
The load balancer can retain session information so that it is definitely stored on the server side even when cell phones that don’t use Cookie or session information. Storing this information means that website visitors are not required to enter their login ID and password each time they access the site.
