Zeus Technology, the only pure software-based application traffic management (Application Delivery Controller) company, today announced that it is providing online support for Socialbomb’s advanced social network project for one of cable TV’s most popular shows. Socialbomb connects the show’s audience on Blu-ray players, to those on Facebook and Twitter, enabling interactive conversations and viewings across multiple devices.
Socialbomb is employing Zeus’ pure software solution, Zeus Traffic Manager, on Joyent’s virtual environment, SmartMachine, to provide a consistent optimal end-user experience, even during extreme surges in traffic. With the average user sharing dozens of video clips per day, keeping the application online and accessible 24/7 is a crucial component for this popular TV show.
“We chose Zeus to help manage our resources across traffic-heavy projects that would be subject to large amounts of viewer interaction,” said Adam Simon, Co-Founder and CCO at Socialbomb. “As a developer-led organization, Zeus was a natural fit for us because, as software, it sits within the Cloud. Through Joyent’s package Zeus SmartMachine, we can seamlessly scale up and down our resources on-demand, so our application doesn’t falter and we maintain 100 percent uptime.”
Zeus software also provides detailed reporting on traffic peaks, allowing Socialbomb to have a clear view of traffic activity both in real-time and historically, which is especially helpful during busy periods of user interaction.
“It’s imperative for Socialbomb to adapt to sudden surges in traffic without compromising the end-user experience,” said Paul Brennan, CEO, Zeus Technology. “Zeus Traffic Manager not only helps Socialbomb achieve constant availability across their platforms, but it also provides metrics and logging capabilities for better management.”
