Coyote Point Systems is a manufacturer of computer networking equipment for application traffic management, also known as server load balancing.

The company introduced hardware-based server load balancers nearly simultaneously with larger competitor F5 Networks in the late 1990s, effectively creating the market for such equipment.[citation needed] The company has its headquarters in San Jose, California, and maintains engineering facilities in Millerton, New York, USA.

History

Early Coyote Point customers included Wired for the HotWired Web magazine, and the online movie database IMDb.[1] Coyote Point introduced several generations of new hardware and software with increasing performance and functionality, winning numerous industry and press awards, including the 2006 Network Computing Well-Connected Award[2] and Info Security Global Product Excellence Award.[3] The company's VLB technology, which permits load balancing of VMware infrastructure, was nominated for Best of Interop 2008[4] and SYS-CON's "Virtualization Journal Readers' Choice Awards."[5]

Products and technology

Coyote Point's products are generally deployed at data centers, serving as front-end aggregaters of an array of web or application servers. By monitoring server and application availability and responsiveness, the Equalizer line of load-balancing appliances direct individual client requests to the server best able to handle them. Layer 7 rules (content switching) direct requests to servers hosting specific applications or content. Application acceleration technologies, such as SSL acceleration and HTTP compression are available on Coyote's higher-end products.

Custom hardware, such as Layer 2 switches and SSL offload processors, and custom operating systems based on FreeBSD[6] are used in Coyote Point's appliances with performance of over 50,000 HTTP transactions per second in network benchmarks.[7]
