Link Load Balancing - Take a Load Off Annie

Link Load Balancing evns out critical resources on data networks with unpredictable requests issued to a server. For example, a web site with heavy traffic may employ two, three or more servers in a link load balancing program. The link load balancing routines enable a network to "juggle" more traffic that otherwise possible If one server is overwhelmed, the link load balancing scheme forwards them to a different server with extra capacity.



Another aspect to link load balancing concerns thecommunications channels themselves. In this case the "juggling act" is meant to better distribute processing and communications demands more equitably across the network so that no single a computer is overwhelmed by the demand.



Link Load Balancing - Key Features & Benefits

First and foremost is "availability" - 24/7 Application Availability for complete IP Application access. Local and Global Service providers rely on redundancy and link load

balancing between servers, WSD units and distributed sites for complete server continuity across global networks



Network Bottlenecks - Link Load Balancing

Network managers are constantly seeking new solutions for eliminating bottlenecks and latencies for the fastest performance of all networked applications and web-enabled

transactions. The idea link load balancing technology combines both unlimited application scalability with flexible traffic distribution management of data centers and server farms.



Network Security - Link Load Balancing

Link load balancing is a key element in the overall network Intrusion Prevention effort. Expert Link Load Balancing guards the network against internal and external attacks such as

viruses, worms, Trojans, anti-scanning and protocol nomalies. Above all hovers the ultimate link load balancing challenge and network threat – DOS - Denial of Service.



Remember the song, "Take a load off Annie" Just listening to it makes you feel nice and relaxed… For maximum performance and 100 percent uptime, networks use link load balancing to even out resource use throughout the network.
