Load Balancing White Papers

The Role of Switch Routers with Server Load Balancing in Enterprise Networks

Overview This whitepaper describes the technology trends emerging at the end of the ’90s trends which deliver the service levels required of the server farm without the penalties of router congestion, sacrifice of control and lack of management. At the forefront of these technology trends are the switch router and the server load balancer. Switch routers deliver wire-speed, full-function routing at gigabit rates without compromising advanced services such as access control, accounting and traffic shaping. Server load balancers guarantee server and application availability. The switch router and server load balancer deliver no-compromise server aggregation and guaranteed content to growing enterprise networks.
