When you are a Managed Hosting customer
Ensure high performance and high availability of your website. Using our
data centre Server
Load Balancing, service requests are distributed across a group of
dedicated servers. In the face of
network overload or managed server failure, Server Load Balancing enables the uninterrupted
delivery of your website to your customers.
Using Server Load Balancing, a single URL or server name can be serviced
by multiple servers with mirrored content. Our cost-effective, scalable and
flexible solution utilises Foundry ServerIron technology.
How does it work?
- The service is shared in a cost-effective manner across a number of clients;
- When a user requests your URL or computer name, Server Load Balancing
directs user traffic to the least busy server;
- Server Load Balancing provides automatic server fail-over protection.
During normal operation, traffic is distributed to multiple servers. If a server fails,
it is automatically taken out of service. The remaining servers handle all traffic, with
no service interruption;
- Using Server Load Balancing, you can perform a server upgrade or maintenance
without any service disruption to your web site.
