The load balancing service provides the facility to evenly balance and/or failover web traffic between multiple hosts in multiple locations, based upon criteria in a Customer-defined policy. The Service is provided through either dedicated or shared managed hardware in the Claranet data centre that provides the load balancing functionality. Load balancing is essential for your business when any downtime of your online presence can result in loss of revenue and a negative impact on your reputation.
Shared to Global
Claranet provides all levels of load balancing services from Shared Load Balancing to Global Server Load Balancing.
Shared Load Balancing: Load balancing and/or failover will be setup between a maximum of two physical servers with one Virtual IP address (VIP), using up to three of the above protocols/ports.
Dedicated Load balancing: Claranet will supply a device or pair of HA devices solely for that single customer.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB): Claranet can provide a technically advanced Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) service if you need a bespoke, geographically-diverse highly available solution. This is an ideal solution if you have related businesses in different continents which need access to a specific regional site, as each can have a failover solution in another geographic location.
