What is a load balancer?SteelHead Interceptor enables customers to scale optimization solutions to support hundreds of thousands of end users across an enterprise, as well as very high bandwidth connections into the data center. SteelHead Interceptor clusters groups of SteelHeads to work together seamlessly and provides:
- Real-time dynamic load balancing of your SteelHeads
- Enhanced optimization for even greater throughput and bandwidth reduction
- The ability to add, modify, or remove SteelHeads in real time, with no disruption to operations
- Clustering of up to 20 SteelHeads to manage up to one million concurrent connections
With SteelHead Interceptor, you can intelligently integrate all your SteelHead solutions while directing activity and network load with superior management and administration capabilities.
Whether you want more throughput or connections than just one SteelHead can provide – or if you desire a higher availability option – SteelHead Interceptor helps manage and scale SteelHead solutions.
TCP connection forwarding
- Ensures continuity between SteelHead appliances in large environments with asymmetrically-routed networks
- Supports one to four Interceptors, and up to 20 SteelHead solutions
Multiple configuration options
- Offers multiple configuration options − in series, in parallel and in quad
- Delivers multiple in-path clustering and flexible network failure options
Detailed visibility
- Supports up to 10 rules, tracing up to 1,000 connections for troubleshooting
- Works with the SteelHead IP Address and Port Transparency feature for more visibility
Speed with finely tuned control
- Supports 1 million optimized connections
- Exclusively provides hardware assist pass through
- Delivers fine grain control of what traffic gets optimized and how, with configurable load balancing rules
- Allows real time-cluster management without disruption to services
SteelHead Interceptor makes it easy to extend the benefits of SteelHead solutions across a large enterprise, while centralizing management efforts and ensuring optimization services across the enterprise.
