Reviews

Session Management with 2X LoadBalancer - Thomas Koetzing of the popular SBC-Specialist and IT-Consultant site thomaskoetzing.de reviewed 2X LoadBalancer stating, "2X LoadBalancer is a fast and easy to deploy solution for load balancing RDP/ICA sessions. The RDP over SSL support is simple to configure, no client configuration and no need to buy a public certificate but you have to think about the security risk. The new resource Monitor rounds up the product with an E-mail alerting system where custom thresholds can be set." Read the full review

The reviewer goes on to note that 2X LoadBalncer is, "Just about everything that 'out of the box' Terminal Services is missing related to load balancing. 2X can make Microsoft Terminal Services do things previously only done by an expensive application such as Citrix."

Doorway is using 2X LoadBalancer to simplify deploying Remote Desktops to our end users internally and over the internet.
The application itself is very easy to install, set up, and administer. Using the LoadBalancer we have been able to completely discontinue using Citrix in our environment, which makes ROI of this product very good.

Version 5 supports grouping of servers, which makes dividing our server farms much easier. Also for testing purposes, it’s very easy to split a farm, so that testing can be done without interfering with a production farm. The new features of 2X LoadBalancer Version 5 makes administering our thousands of users really simple.  We highly recommend this product.

"2X LoadBalancer allows us to work smarter, not harder. It was simple, and did exactly what I needed it to do... And I would wager it works better than the Microsoft product."

"We were looking for a solution that would allow us to utilize multiple Terminal Servers in a load balanced scenario. The solution needed to provide some basic redundancy as well as being cost effective.

We first evaluated Windows 2000 Server Advanced and utilized the load balancing feature of the operating system. We found the solution to be very expensive and "chatty". As our farm grew the cost to continue deploying Advanced Server strictly for load balancing could not be justified.

I stumbled onto 2X LoadBalancer for Terminal Services/Citrix and thought for sure the item was too good to be true! We anticipated stability issues or perhaps that it wouldn't scale beyond a moderate amount of servers. To my surprise we have had no issues with our farm that we would hold 2X LoadBalancer responsible for. The product runs without being noticed... and that is what we were looking for. We wanted a solution that was transparent to the end user. 2X LoadBalancer has allowed us to meet that objective.

I strongly recommend this solution to any administrator that is evaluating the big "C" as a very viable alternative from the perspective of load balancing and redundancy."
