Beta Version Of 2X LoadBalancer 4.1 Now Available

Wednesday, 20 September 2006 by Michel Roth

2X has released a beta version of their 2X LoadBalancer, version 4.1, to the public. New features of this version are:

� Integration of load balancing and application serving. This means that applications are load balanced depending on the availability of the applications on the servers farm.

� Publishing of both Applications and Desktops. An administrator can now publish both applications and full desktops. This requires the new client (Windows only at present).

� Published can be done on all the farm, defined server groups or individual machines.

� Load balancing of RDP and ICA connection at the same time. A single server can be serving both ICA and RDP at the same time. Obviously publishing is only available with RDP servers.

� Configuration are easier to do, using a single user interface which validates all settings from the user. Simple wizards help the administratot to create the servers farm and to publish the applications easily.

� Reconnection improved. Now we have a new option to reconnect to an already connected session as well

� Improved load balancing, any combination of counters can be used.

� Functional Notification.

� Information tab replaces the old monitor. The information about the farm is now inside the same UI.

� Improved managment of published applications and desktop by using Application groups.

� Predefined Application help adminitrator to publish difficult applications like control panel icons, etc.
