A Bigger, Smarter Server

F5 Labs' BIG/ip3 ($44,900) is a 333-MHz Pentium II machine that can intelligently allocate Internet and intranet service requests across an array of network servers, ensuring content availability for end users. The system resides between your Internet routers and the local server array and continually monitors each local server for application availability and performance. It will automatically route queries to the most available server. The BIG/ip3 controller will function with all TCP/IP-based OSes, including Windows NT, all Unix platforms, and Mac OS.
