CSS and Local Director comparison

[jmjavier]

I am new to this technology and I want to know what are advantages and disadvantages of Local director over the CSS and vice versa besides the price. What functionality does one has that is not supported by the other ?

If you are looking at implementing a load balancer then I would suggest to go for the CSS. The CSS is the next generation of load balancer and will replace the Local Director. The CSS functionality and extensibility is far greater than that of the local director. Another point is that feature developement is far more aggessive on the CSS.

Phil,

Thanks for the reply, I am developing a paper to present to a customer pointing the pros and cons for both gear and I can't see a direct comparison of the two. Can you give me a link on the CCO regarding this? I appreciate every help I can get.

Regards,

Jimmy
