Nginx Webinar: 5 reasons to switch to software load balancing

Nice Nginx.com Webinar article 5 Reasons to Switch to Software Load Balancing - NGINX

NGINX is a really solid alternative to a hardware ADC. It was originally created to solve the C10K problem. That’s one web server running on one computer serving 10,000 or more simultaneous connections. Before NGINX it was impossible. People would put up a website, it would get popular, and then it would keel over. Stopping this from happening was very, very, very difficult, but with NGINX, it got a lot easier.

Our first open source release was in 2004 in Russia, where NGINX was originally founded. NGINX Plus, the commercial version with support, was released in 2013.

NGINX the company is based in Silicon Valley (San Francisco), and our development offices are in Moscow. We also have offices in the UK. The company is VC‑backed by industry leaders. We have more than 800 customers, and we’ve just reached 100 employees the other day.

Wordpress.com case study

Interestingly, they revealed they only have ~800+ Nginx Plus customers for the paid advanced Nginx commercial version. Must be very hard to get folks to pay when they have an awesome open source Nginx version !
