The global parameters screen allows centralized control of routine management functions, including default time-outs and probing values, and local language for the appliance.

Load-balancing policy definitions offer several options for controlling how load balancing takes place and what triggers are used to initiate the transfer of loads between virtual appliances.

Equalizer OnDemand installs easily in minutes from a standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF) deployment template and can be managed directly from vSphere like any other virtual machine or appliance.
