Description
Server Load Balancing provides practical guidance for engineers and technicians on planning and implementing load balancing in almost any environment. This guide explains the concepts and terminology of load balancing, offering a deeper understanding of the technology and how to use it to improve network performance.
A key component of high availability, clustering, and fault tolerance, load balancing is critical for reliable Internet sites and large corporate networks. By distributing traffic efficiently, individual servers are not overwhelmed by sudden fluctuations in activity, leading to improved network performance.
With a configuration guide featuring diagrams and sample configurations for major vendors' products, including Alteon WebSystems, Cisco's CSS Series, F5's BIG-IP, and the Foundry ServerIron series, this book is an essential resource for anyone responsible for traffic management.
