Load Balancing Microsoft Speech Server 2004 Enterprise Edition

Overview Microsoft Speech Server (MSS) 2004 Enterprise Edition meets call center demands for high performance and high availability with the ability to scale both up and out in its deployment. In a distributed configuration, with multiple Speech Server computers deployed, effective load-balancing of server resources is crucial to handling high call volumes while maintaining excellent performance levels. This paper discusses the load balancing capabilities of Speech Server and offers best-practice guidance and tips for preparing, implementing and verifying load-balanced Speech Server configurations using the Microsoft Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB) service of Windows Server 2003. High-level best practices when using a third-party hardware load balancer are also discussed.
