AMAZON AWS VS RELIANOID ALTERNATIVE

Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered, pay-as-you-go basis.

RELIANOID

RELIANOID® is an Application Delivery Controller and Load Balancer that ensures high performance and security of IT services on a massive scale.

Amazon Web Services Strengths

The vendor has deeply integrated its suite of ADC services with AWS cloud offerings.

It has cultivated a substantial community of developers who possess a high level of familiarity with its API and comprehensive range of functionalities.

It holds the title of being the market’s fastest-growing major vendor.

Has demonstrated a progressively growing commitment to the development and delivery of enterprise-oriented features.

RELIANOID’s Strengths

Expert and skilled R&D professionals accomplished in Zevenet and Zen Load Balancer, departing from an Open Source technology with no vendor lock-in and broad platforms integration (hardware, virtual, bare metal and cloud), bringing security, performance and readiness.

Cost-effective solutions with no constraints on products and services, tailored to the needs of midsize companies as well as large enterprises.

Protocol Versatility adapting and managing diverse network environments and protocols (UDP, TCP, HTTP/S, SCTP, SIP, T/FTP).

L7 and L4 Performance managing over 140K concurrent users at Layer 7, while at Layer 4, it efficiently handles more than 10 million concurrent users, all with just 2 dedicated cores.

High Availability witha automatic real time stateful cluster replication.

Security and WAF improved as it incorporates an Intrusion Prevention and Detection System (IPDS) and also an integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF). It actively safeguards web applications against specific threats while providing real-time IP blacklisting, Denial of Service (DoS) protection, and support for black and whitelisting.

User-friendly interface designed for both DevOps and SRE professionals, ensuring ease of use in managing and configuring systems.

Automation thanks to its fully programmable and robust REST+JSON API.

Amazon Web Services’s Weaknesses

Not capable of providing complete ADC solutions for workloads that are not hosted within the AWS cloud.

Falls short in terms of several critical Level 7 enterprise features when compared to other ADC vendors.

In situations involving fluctuating usage and high traffic demands, customers may find it necessary to proactively contact AWS to ensure the vendor can prewarm the system.

RELIANOID’s Weaknesses

Emerging brand, challenging the ADC and Load Balancing market, operating as an open-source company.

Still in the process of building a significant presence. It must expand its partnership network more extensively.
