Server Load Balancing
What happens if one of your servers fail? This is no longer a disaster, as load balancing can also provide high
availability by automatically detecting the failure of a server and redirecting user activity among the remaining
servers within seconds. Once the server is responsive, it can again share in the work load. Your users will be
provided with continuous service, never knowing about a server failure should it happen. In the same manner, load
balancing will allow a system administrators to take down servers and perform system maintenance without interruption
of services.
Cybercon PF Load Balancer
Cybercon PF load balancer supports both Inbound and Outbound Load Balancing. Outbound load balancing is used with multiple WAN connections to provide load balancing and failover capabilities. Traffic is directed to the desired gateway or load balancing pool on a per-firewall rule basis. Inbound load balancing is used to distribute load between multiple servers. This is commonly used with web servers, mail servers, and others. Servers that fail to respond to ping requests or TCP port connections are removed from the pool.
