Microsoft® Office Live Communications Server 2005 network topology incorporates a pool of servers to reliably and efficiently service client sessions. This paper addresses the implementation and operations of CAI Networks' WebMux™, a hardware based load balancer. WebMux™ manages and directs the incoming client traffic to this pool so no one server is ever overloaded. An overview of WebMux's unprecedented reliable performance at unparallel cost of ownership is followed by a detailed description on how to configure WebMux™ in the Office Live Communications Server 2005® environment. The paper concludes with a section on managing WebMux using a UI browser as an alternative to the user-friendly menu-driven front panel keypad and display. Manufacturer and Sales contacts are provided along with a WebMux Data Sheet.
