[c-nsp] Server Load Balancer - Cisco vs Brocade vs F5

[Drew Weaver]

We've been using Brocade (Foundry before) for close to 10 years (ServerIron XL and ADX) and it works great, not much learning curve either.

Hi All,

I deployed a number of Cisco CSS load balancers for a client, about 2 years
ago.

However, they tell me today that they are unhappy with the product and are
considering non-Cisco alternatives for their new projects.

Interestingly, all they say is that they have "issues" with Cisco CSS; I
don't know what those problems are.

They are considering either of F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager or Brocade
ServerIron ADX platforms for their new server load-balancing needs.

I was wondering if any of you have praises for the F5 and/or Brocade
load-balancing offerings?

Thanks.
