Looking for Load Balancing products

networked UNIX environment.
I know something about NQS (the CERN version of it and not the
commercial one) and DQS (Distributed queuing system) and
I would like to have further information about
existing commercial offers in that area.
thanks

The only one worth much more than a moment's notice is a product
called Load Sharing Facility (LSF), from a Canadian company called
Platform Computing (see http://www.platform.com). LSF is pretty much
the only game in town when it comes to commercial resource sharing
software; the other products I know of (foremost amongst them one
called Load Balancer) are, well, toys that are low in features and
only work adequately across small numbers of machines.
I lead a resource sharing project at Sun, but we do not currently have
plans to make our system available commercially.
On a tangential note, my project is hiring, so if you think a job
designing and implementing leading-edge scalable resource sharing
software might be something you're interested in, drop me a line.

Also there is a product from IBM called Load Leveler. For more
information on job scheduling and load balancing, you should
take a look at:
