Evaluation of proxy solutions

Project duration: 5 months

Brief description

Due to the heterogeneous environment for proxy and load balancer solutions at the customer's premises, the feasibility of an interface-based infrastructure service is to be evaluated. For this purpose, the requirements of current and potential internal customers for a proxy solution are recorded. In a decision matrix the candidates are evaluated and prioritized against the requirements. During the evaluation, performance tests are performed and evaluated for selected solutions. For the appropriate proxy solutions, a proposal for setting up a centralized as well as a decentralized solution will be worked out. The implementation of the project was carried out according to a PM customer standard with the management and technical and professional advice from PTA.

Supplement

During the requirements analysis phase, interviews are conducted with the product owners in order to identify technical and technical requirements. Based on a market analysis, 10 candidates are then selected, including three web servers (Apache 2.4, NGINX and lighthttpd), four reverse proxies (Pound, varnish, HAproxy and traefik) as well as OpenStack (kilo), Squid and Avinetworks.

Subject description

Based on a weighted decision matrix, solutions for performance tests can be selected. The exclusion criteria were on the one hand security aspects such as support for HTTP/2 and TLS 1.2 and on the other hand platform and infrastructure aspects such as containerization or cloud capability. The pros and cons for the individual solutions as well as the possibilities of a consolidated solution are prepared for the customer's decision.
