Server Load Balancing
As your server environment grows, balancing loads reliably across servers in a resource pool becomes a critical requirement.
Maxnet utilises best-of-breed technology to provide traffic management that is both highly intelligent and extremely cost effective.
Service Benefits
Maxnet’s Server Load Balancing (SLB) elevates load balancing to new levels of uptime, performance and security.
Powered by F5’s Big-IP technology and hosted on Maxnet’s 99.99% infrastructure, this offering provides a range of impressive benefits:
1. Uptime: Individual servers in your server resource pool are constantly monitored by the SLB service for availability. This means traffic is never directed to non-available servers thus maintaining overall service availability while the server failure issue is resolved.
2. Performance: Running TCP Express, TCP connections are optimised for maximum performance. Customer requests are also pooled, aggregating millions of client-side requests into hundreds of server-side requests.
3. Security: The service insulates your servers from potential network and protocol level attacks on your servers.
4. Affordable: We can offer you this enterprise level solution at a starting price of approximately $175/mth + GST plus.
Global Load Balancing
Increasingly organisations are hosting an application or service out of multiple, regionally separated data centres to protect their business from site outages and to improve application and service delivery to end-users.
Maxnet’s Global Traffic Management service ensures load balancing between data centres, or complete fail-over from a primary data centre to a secondary back-up data centre is done seamlessly. Please refer to our Data Centre Load Balancing information for more details.
