ZXTM (Zeus Extensible Traffic Manager) manages your application traffic, inspecting, transforming and routing requests as it load-balances them across the application infrastructure.
The powerful TrafficScriptT engine lets you implement whatever traffic management policies are most appropriate for your enterprise, drawing on the whole range of capabilities of ZXTM.
Where necessary, JavaT Extensions can be used to implement additional, complex traffic transformations and other policies.
ZXTM is available as software, as hardware appliances and as a Virtual Appliance.
