Modern "division of labour" through load balancing

Server load balancing

Is an individual server a bottleneck? Or does an application server have a downtime? Slow applications mean slow work processes! With server load balancing, you can increase the performance and availability and also reduce the traffic between clients and servers by means of advanced functions.

For Server Loadbalancing purposes, hardware load balancers are usually set up between the actual servers and the clients sending the requests and are especially optimised with a view to the application servers. The servers are periodically checked for availability and removed from the balancing array if they cannot be reached. In the event of a server failure, you can thus prevent the customer from getting error messages and being redirected to another server. 

Additionally, server load balancing enables the traffic to be distributed over various locations, allowing the traffic to be redirected to a remote location in the event of failure of an entire site or data centre location.  

Link load balancing

Would you like to increase the availability of your Internet connection and not be dependent on one provider?

With link load balancing, you can use multiple providers and distribute the load over several links.  

You can also precisely determine which traffic is to be sent over which line and what is to happen in the event of an error. Furthermore, a link load balancer enables the incoming traffic to be split to both lines.  

In the field of load balancing and Application Delivery Networks, we cooperate with leading vendors and realise an adequate solution with the respective provider under consideration of the deployment purpose.
