Network Load Balancing (NLB) Solution for Dedicated Windows Servers
Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB)
Network Load Balancing servers (also called hosts) in a cluster communicate among themselves to provide essential benefits, including:
fiber_manual_record Scalability. Network Load Balancing scales the performance of a server-based program, such as a Web server, by distributing its client requests across multiple servers within the cluster. As traffic increases, additional servers can be added to the cluster, with up to 32 servers possible in any one cluster.
fiber_manual_record High availability. Network Load Balancing provides high availability by automatically detecting the failure of a server and repartitioning client traffic among the remaining servers within ten seconds while providing users with continuous service.
