Hi we bought an astaro firewall and are quite happy with it, now we need to buy a commercially supported LVS (linux virtual server) appliance.
Does anyone have any good experience using any commercial LVS devices with web based GUI.
Have you considered Red Hat Cluster Suite?
no I did not know it does network load balancing. Does it have a web based gui ?
Yes. The web-based configuration tool is called Piranha. It also supports the failover of two load balancers, in essence creating a high-availibility load balancer. As it is software only, you use standard ethernet switches to plug your load-balanced servers into, which keeps the per-port costs to a minimum. This also makes it more affordable to do interface bonding on your servers. CentOS has released this software for CentOS 3 under the csgfs directory in the mirror network if you want to use it. Of course to meet your requirement of a commercial solution you would probably choose RHEL with RHCS so you can have commercial support.
