Hi there,
After many months of delays and preparation, we are finally
ready for the first L4/7 load balancing switch-off. Preliminary Call
for Participation and a result teaser are now available at
http://switchoff.measurement-factory.com/
For those of you who are new to the terminology, "switch-off" is the
same as "bake-off", except that the "switch-off" term is not
trademarked by Pillsbury. The Measurement Factory has been executing a
series of Web caching bake-offs (cache-offs) using Web Polygraph
benchmark, and we are now planning the same kind of public
all-under-one-roof competitions for various load balancing solutions.
We hope that our switch-off results and analysis will be useful
comparison tool for the load balancing crowd. As usual, free public
tools and community-supported workloads will be used to drive the
tests.
If you want to participate or give feedback, please e-mail us.
If you want a certain product to be represented, make sure to e-mail
the vendor (and cc us)!
Thanks,
matthew
