Network Infrastructure – Load Balancing & High Availability

What is a Load Balancing and High Availaility Strategy?

Load balancing refers to the practice of dispersing work between two or more computers, network links, hard drives or other resources. This is done to optimize the use of resources at hand and to maximize throughput while minimizing response time. Proper load balancing ensures that your network provides quick and reliable service. In other words, more will get done in less time, and everyone is served faster. A common use for load balancing is to deal with websites that get a lot of traffic. Load balancing is usually accomplished through special software or through a hardware device, such as a multilayer switch.
