SkyNetWEB's load balancing solutions provide great flexibility in how traffic is directed between our customers' clustered servers. Our load balancers can automatically detect changes in server status and route requests to the server best able to satisfy each incoming request, based on a variety of factors like capacity, availability, response time, current load and historical performance.
This robust, redundant solution is great for sites running processor intensive tasks such as database transactions and CGI scripts or for high-volume websites. You can even cluster your existing servers, even if they have different hardware and software specifications. SkyNetWEB's load balancing solutions are more cost-effective and reliable than large capacity servers.
We use award-winning Alteon ACEdirector load balancing switches, which can route hundreds of thousands of web sessions every second. SkyNetWEB's load balancing solution includes local server load balancing, application redirection, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) load balancing, URL-based redirection and load balancing, and advanced TCP/IP filtering functions.
