Abstract

ClickArray Networks, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate its Array 1000, a purpose-built device that combines server load balancing, global server load balancing, reverse proxy caching, SSL acceleration, clustering and Web security capabilities in order to optimize Web traffic performance. The Array 1000 sits between source servers and downstream requesting clients in an Internet or intranet connection. The Tolly Group subjected the Array 1000 to a battery of tests focusing on performance and failover functionality. Engineers tested the ClickArray 1000 version 1.0.1 and determined that the device delivers highly effective Web server offload and hefty performance increases in terms of the number of HTTP requests per second supported.
