Diagram illustrating user requests to an Elasticsearch cluster being distributed by a load balancer. (Example for Wikipedia.) In computing, load balancing is the process of distributing a set of tasks over a set of resources (computing units), with the aim of making their overall processing more efficient. Load balancing can optimize response ...
Various equipment and software vendors offer network virtualization by combining any of the following: Network hardware, such as switches and network adapters, also known as network interface cards (NICs) Network elements, such as firewalls and load balancers; Networks, such as virtual LANs (VLANs) and containers such as virtual machines (VMs)
Cloud load balancing is the process of distributing workloads across multiple computing resources. Cloud load balancing reduces costs associated with document management systems and maximizes availability of resources. It is a type of load balancing and not to be confused with Domain Name System (DNS) load balancing.
Network Load Balancing Services (NLBS) is a Microsoft implementation of clustering and load balancing that is intended to provide high availability and high reliability, as well as high scalability. NLBS is intended for applications with relatively small data sets that rarely change (one example would be web pages), and do not have long-running ...
Network load balancing is the ability to balance traffic across two or more WAN links without using complex routing protocols like BGP.. This capability balances network sessions like Web, email, etc. over multiple connections in order to spread out the amount of bandwidth used by each LAN user, thus increasing the total amount of bandwidth available.
In October 2012, a group of telecom operators published a white paper [4] at a conference in Darmstadt, Germany, on software-defined networking (SDN) and OpenFlow.The Call for Action concluding the White Paper led to the creation of the Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Industry Specification Group (ISG) [5] within the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
HAProxy is a free and open source software that provides a high availability load balancer and Proxy (forward proxy, [2] reverse proxy) for TCP and HTTP-based applications that spreads requests across multiple servers. [3] It is written in C [4] and has a reputation for being fast and efficient (in terms of processor and memory usage). [5]
Cloud applications differ from other applications in their scalability—which can be achieved by cloning tasks onto multiple virtual machines at run-time to meet changing work demand. [49] Load balancers distribute the work over the set of virtual machines. This process is transparent to the cloud user, who sees only a single access-point.
