A Load Balancer is a device that takes in network traffic and distributes it across a group of servers to prevent any single server from becoming overwhelmed. It enhances performance, redundancy, and availability of applications through load balancing.
Load balancers work at various layers—either the network layer (Layer 4) or the application layer (Layer 7)—and can direct traffic based on IP addresses, ports, session persistence, or application behavior. Load balancers are a necessity in high-availability setups, particularly those hosting business-critical web applications or services.
HostingB2B offers load balancing services that facilitate sophisticated traffic management, automated failover, SSL offload, and monitoring in real time. This guarantees seamless and continuous delivery of services despite excessive traffic or server failure.
