Reduced Performance Bottlenecks
The Enterprise Hosting Load Balancing feature automatically distributes incoming web traffic across multiple web server instances, resulting in increased server response times.
Enhanced Fault Tolerance
Load Balancing automatically detects unhealthy server instances and routes traffic to a healthy instance until such a time as a server administrator can correct the problem or remove the instance from service.
Multi-Region Capability
Load Balancing has the capability to distribute traffic across geographically distinct regions, significantly increasing server reliability in the unfortunate event of natural disaster, war, or other catastrophic events that may occur in any part of the world.
Limitations and Application Suitability
Basic Load Balancing is an extremely effective tool for providing a reliable and responsive Web presence under variable request load conditions. There are application-specific considerations to be weighed and addressed, for example the maintenance of a user's session state, and synchronization of databases. A Level Traffic Representative will be happy to assist and advise you in the most effective Load Balancing strategy for your particular application.
