In 1997, F5 launched its first product, [11] a load balancer called BIG-IP. BIG-IP served the purpose of reallocating server traffic away from overloaded servers. In June 1999, the company had its initial public offering and was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange with the symbol FFIV. [12]
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 ...
A load-balanced switch backbone can deliver 100% throughput with an overcapacity of just 2x, as measured across the whole system. The underpinnings of large backbone networks are usually optical channels that cannot be quickly switched. These map well to the constant-rate 2R/N channels of the load-balanced switch's mesh.
In addition, if there are multiple actual IP addresses, load balancing can be performed as part of NAT. VIP addresses are also used for connection redundancy by providing alternative fail-over options for one machine.
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.
Coyote Point Systems was a manufacturer of computer networking equipment for application traffic management, also known as server load balancing. In March 2013, the company was acquired by Fortinet. [1] The company introduced hardware-based server load balancers nearly simultaneously with other large companies such as F5 Networks in the late ...
Nginx (pronounced "engine x" [8] / ˌ ɛ n dʒ ɪ n ˈ ɛ k s / EN-jin-EKS, stylized as NGINX or nginx) is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache. The software was created by Russian developer Igor Sysoev and publicly released in 2004. [9]
Content switches are typically used for load balancing among groups of servers. Load balancing can be performed on HTTP , HTTPS , VPN , or any TCP/IP traffic using a specific port. Load balancing often involves destination network address translation so that the client of the load-balanced service is not fully aware of which server is handling ...
