February 28, 2007; 04:44 AM
Coyote Point Systems, Inc. announced its new enterprise-class Equalizer Series E550si, the first server load balancing and application traffic management system in its class to integrate a best-of-breed feature set for Web application delivery in a 21- port Gigabit Ethernet switch configuration. The new Equalizer E550si complies with the European Union's stringent Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) guidelines and is part of an entire environmentally responsible product line from Coyote Point.

With performance up to 100-percent faster than Coyote Point's award- winning E350si, the new Equalizer E550si is capable of supporting 512 servers per virtual cluster, with unlimited clusters, and up to 100,000 connections per second. New features in the Equalizer E550si include SNMP support with alerts, dynamic ports for complex network applications such as those used in ERP and CRM systems, full NAT functionality and support for internationalized websites.

"Coyote Point is a trusted partner with top-notch people who know server load balancing and application traffic management inside and out," said Mike Lauth, President and CEO of iXsystems, a leading provider of high-performance computing clusters and an authorized Coyote Point VAR in North America. Like other Coyote Point products, the new E550si promises fantastic performance at a great value."

"Port-dense server load balancing systems and traffic management systems from trusted providers such as Coyote Point provide us with an ideal solution for our customers," said Bjarke Alling, CEO of Liga LinDist, a Coyote Point distribution partner based in Denmark that serves all of Scandinavia. "The Equalizer E550si is an exceptional system with the RoHS compliance that we need for our European Union customers."

"Over the past several years, our customers have come to trust and rely on Coyote Point products," said Shoichi Morita, Managing Director / Marketing General Manager of Networld Corporation, Coyote Point's distribution partner in Japan. "The Equalizer Series' ability to ensure that web sites are always available and highly responsive to users' requests is increasingly important to our Coyote Point customers in Japan."

"The newest member of Coyote Point's application switch family the Equalizer E550si continues our tradition of stellar performance and value- based pricing and enables our channel partners to meet their customers' most demanding server load balancing and application traffic management requirements," said Jack Irving, Vice President of Sales for Coyote Point Systems. "Our global channel partners asked us for an affordable application switch with high port density to enable server consolidation, virtualization and clustering solutions and managed services across the board. The Equalizer E550si satisfies those requirements and delivers better price-performance value than comparable systems from any other established vendor."

The new Coyote Point E550si is an enterprise-class Layer 4-7 load balancing and application traffic management switch with 21 Gigabit Ethernet ports and enterprise-class features, such as:

  -- Enhanced ability to support virtual clusters consisting of up to 512
     servers.
  -- Enterprise SNMP MIB for interoperability with leading network
     management systems that covers hundreds of Equalizer performance and
     configuration parameters. In addition to information that can be polled
     from the system, Equalizer systems can generate SNMP traps to alert on
     critical events such as when servers become unavailable.
  -- Dynamic ports for complex network applications such as those used in
     some ERP and CRM systems that require multiple network ports to be
     open. Network administrators can associate groups of contiguous ports
     to a single group of servers.
  -- Full NAT functionality enables a full-proxy option that originates all
     new connections from the system's IP address and enables effortless,
     trouble-free installation and enhanced security.
  -- Support for internationalized websites that use extended character
     sets.
  -- Optional functionality includes Coyote Point's Xcel SSL acceleration
     and Envoy global server load balancing.

Coyote Point's Equalizer E550si in a 21-port Gigabit Ethernet switch configuration is available now through Coyote Point Systems' authorized distributors and resellers. Suggested retail price is US$10,995.
