Managed Load Balancing

About the Service

Our managed load balancing solution sends your traffic through a redundant network of load balancers, sharing out your data load between all of your servers. And if one of your servers should fail, the others take on its work – so your users never find your website down or your services offline. Managed load balancing provides the ultimate availability.

As well as managing and maintaining your load balancing services, connectivity and hardware, Computrad provide 24/7/365 support from our fully trained certified IT experts.

Computrad's managed load balancing service can progress your IT systems towards:

More availability and more redundancy – servers are immediately taken offline whenever they fail a health check, so you can provide more FTP, HTTP and SSL services.
A Scalable web presence – match demand with easy insertion and removal of servers from the server farm.
An Online Capacity increase – more cusomters connect to your application with our “fewest sessions” algorithm.

Computrad also provide Advanced Load Balancing, Content Switching, GSLB and SSL Offload services

In Summary

Your growing business needs a solution that grows in harmony with your success. As today’s content-heavy, web-based applications often use more power than a single server can provide, high traffic, secure transactions and countless other factors can all contribute to slow response times and server lag.

How it works

The application being load-balanced is given a virtual IP address
Any requests to the virtual IP address are processsed by your Computrad load balancing service
The load balancer checks to see if the real, non-virtual, IP addresses on your servers are available for use
The load balancer splits the requests between the servers that are available.
