How to Install the jetNEXUS ISO

Installation of the jetNEXUS ISO requires no significant technical know-how, just follow the three stage guide:

Download the ISO from the jetNEXUS web site (www.jetnexus.com/iso_loadbalancer.html) and burn it to CD. You can use your default CD burner application or you can download and install an open source (and free) application such as InfraRecorder (http://infrarecorder.org/) or a trial of commercial products such as Nero (http://www.nero.com).

Take the jetNEXUS CD you’ve just burned on your drive and chose an appropriate server hardware platform to build as an ALB-X. We strongly recommend at least a high end Pentium 4 processor and 512MB of RAM, an 80GB hard disk as well as two Intel or Broadcom Gigabit NICs (required). Note: The hard disk will be completely wiped and reformatted as part of the installation process!

Boot the server hardware from the jetNEXUS CD - you may need to check the BIOS will boot first from the CD ROM – and type “jetnexus” at the installer prompt followed by a short coffee break. Once the CD is ejected, the server hardware will reboot. You now have a jetNEXUS Accelerating Load Balancer!

Hardware Requirements

CPU and Memory

A high-end Pentium 4 with 512MB of RAM. More memory would be required where caching is being employed. How much will of course depend on how much data you are planning for the ALB-X to cache. Note: performance is significantly improved by running multi core CPU’s.

Network Requirements

Two NICs (Network Interface Cards). jetNEXUS ISO build officially supports only Intel and Broadcom on the basis of their suitability for - and performance with network intensive processes on server hardware.
