Load BalancingAvailability is crucial to handling Internet traffic. Slow responses or refused connections create dissatisfied users. Load Balancer has superior high availability, scalability, AND load balancing. The first generation of Web traffic load balancing, called round-robin DNS, had a domain name server (DNS) rotating traffic among a hard-coded list of IP addresses for Web application servers. This balancing is hardly optimal, since the DNS round-robin treats all the requests as equal, and does not take into account the availability of the servers, or their workload on them. DNS also does not provide the ability to differentiate by port. Load Balancer is the next generation of server load-balancing software. It can direct TCP/IP session requests to different servers belonging to a group of servers and automatically find the optimal server to handle the request. Balancing maximizes your hardware resources. Load Balancer provides a powerful, flexible, and scalable solution to peak-demand problems with Web servers.
