Load Balancing White Papers
Scaling Web Applications with Windows 2000 Advanced Server's Network Load Balancing
Overview
Find out how to build scalable Web applications that span multiple servers in a Web Server Farm environment. Windows 2000 Advanced Server ships with the Network Load Balancing service that can handle large amounts of traffic by spreading the load across multiple redundant machines. Find out how to use this feature and what it means to your Web applications.
With ever larger Web applications being built to service tremendous amounts of simultaneous users pounding away at Web sites, the issue of scaling applications beyond a single machine is often on the mind of Web application developers and network administrators. While hardware seems to be ever increasing to the point that high power single machines can handle tremendous loads there will always be those apps that push beyond what a single machine can service. In addition, for many administrators and IT planners it's often not good enough to say that a server can handle x number of users, but they want to have redundancy, backup and overflow support so that a Web server or hardware failure or an unexpected surge of visitors doesn't cripple the corporate Web site.
