Overview
Pulse Secure® Virtual Traffic Manager - Essential Edition (formerly Brocade virtual Load Balancer) is a high-performance Layer 7 Load Balancer that enables you to create, manage, and deliver key services more quickly, more flexibly, and at a lower cost. Highly portable, it can be deployed in any major cloud or hybrid environment. Pulse vTM - Essential Edition is much more than a simple load balancer. In addition to round robin or least connection load balancing with session persistence the Pulse vTM - Essential Edition can be configured as a Highly Available Cluster, providing advanced Application Health Monitoring and Analytics, SSL Offload, Protocol Offloading, Session persistence, REST, and SOAP API integration as well as Content Routing. The Pulse Secure Web Application Firewall module is available via other AMIs, and there are more advanced versions of the Traffic Manager available as your needs change. Please search for Pulse Secure to see all options. Note: Only the 18.3 version (or later) can be deployed on the nitro instance types.
Highlights
- Speed: Accelerate services, increase capacity, and reduce costs by offloading performance-draining tasks such as SSL and compression onto Virtual Traffic Manager's optimized implementations.
- Reliability: Improve application availability by intelligently distributing traffic, avoiding failed or degraded servers, monitoring performance problems, and shaping traffic spikes. Provide HA via active-active deployment.
- Ease of management: Virtual Traffic Manager makes it easy to manage how users interact with applications and the infrastructure those applications depend on.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour for the Essential Edition traffic manager, capped at 10 Mbps throughput. The software price stays the same across all options; what changes is the EC2 instance type you run it on. Each dimension maps to a specific instance size, from small general-purpose types to large memory-, compute-, and storage-optimized ones. Pick the instance that matches your compute, memory, and network needs. Larger instances carry more resources and a higher hourly rate. Billing accrues only while an instance runs, so you scale by starting or stopping instances.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Yes. The Essential Edition caps traffic at 10 Mbps regardless of instance type. A larger instance gives more compute, memory, or network hardware, but the software still enforces the 10 Mbps throughput ceiling. Choose an instance based on resource needs, not for raising throughput.
The software fee meters only running instance-hours. A fully stopped instance accrues no hourly software charge. You scale cost by starting or stopping instances. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees, but those are separate from the software licence.
This is usage-based billing with no upfront commitment. Charges begin when an instance launches and accrue each hour it runs. They stop when you stop the instance. The hourly rate varies by instance type you select. This model fits workloads that start and stop over time.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Trustworthy Load Balancer

Review from a verified AWS customer
I've used this load balancer in another cloud for 5 years, and now I'm using this in AWS for one of our apps. We had some issues using AWS ELB for this specific app, and we had to get our own load balancer set up.
I took the opportunity to experiment with some of the other ones available in the marketplace, and this is by far one of the more refined and reliable load balancers here. I enthusiastically recommend this product.
Fun fact: AWS ELB uses this technology under the covers. They've been doing so since this product was owned by the folks at Zeus way back.
