Load Balancing White Papers
Data Center Design and Implementation With Cisco Catalyst 6500 Service Modules: Overview
Overview This paper focuses on using firewalls and load balancers in the data center. Load balancers distribute incoming requests to multiple servers, while firewalls analyze the traffic to avoid common attacks to the server farm. Although load balancing and firewalling can be deployed individually, these two technologies are often deployed together, especially in multi-tier server farms with multiple tiers of a given application running on separate machines. In multi-tier environments, firewalls are used as a security mechanism between the tiers, and load balancers are used between the tiers to provide load balancing.
