Benefits of the Load Balancing
Benefits of Load Balancing
There are many benefits to Load Balancing:Resilience - failures are not noticed by your service users. A failed server is automatically removed from the pool of available servers until the load balancer detects that the server is functioning correctly.
Performance - Requests are distributed between all available servers in the server pool making sure no servers are overloaded.
Flexibility - when performing maintenance servers can be taken offline without taking your service offline. During promotional periods where additional capacity is needed more servers can be added to increase your capacity, again with no downtime.
Who Needs Load Balancing?
Anyone who needs 100% uptime needs a load balanced solution. This could be e-commerce sites, medium and large scales enterprises or any other online service who's reputation would be damaged by a service outage or poor performance.
Is Load Balancing Expensive?
Load Balancing is always more expensive than other hosting solutions as it involves more hardware but it doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive.
