Load Balancing (L-HA) Service provides enterprise-class load balancing and fault tolerance within the data center. Clients can customize their server traffic handling algorithms across their applications servers to optimize for best performance, least connections, and “last-resort” traffic direction. This technology is widely used to accommodate high-growth websites and applications, as well as to mitigate the impact of server failure and maintenance. Highly integrated with the AIS Enterprise High Availability (e-HA) service, Local-HA (L-HA) provides a robust service continuity solution without a major investment in hardware and support infrastructure.
