What is Radware load balancer?
A load balancer is a piece of hardware (or virtual hardware) that acts like a reverse proxy to distribute network and/or application traffic across different servers. A load balancer is used to improve the concurrent user capacity and overall reliability of applications.
What is ADC Radware?
Alteon is Radware’s next-generation application delivery controller (ADC) and the only network load balancer that guarantees application SLA. It provides advanced, end-to-end local and global load balancing capabilities for all Web, cloud and mobile-based applications.
What is Radware AppDirector?
AppDirector OnDemand Switch™ is a next-generation application delivery platform providing the best performance in the industry and an industry first, unique model of scalable throughput up to 20Gbps with no downtime.
How is load balancing done?
Load balancing is defined as the methodical and efficient distribution of network or application traffic across multiple servers in a server farm. Each load balancer sits between client devices and backend servers, receiving and then distributing incoming requests to any available server capable of fulfilling them.
How does Radware WAF work?
AppWall is a web application firewall (WAF) that analyzes the protected Web application and derives the potential threats in it. It then generates individual, granular protection rules and sets a policy in blocking mode – thus eliminating the need for human intervention and saving on maintenance and labor resources.
What is Alteon VX?
Click Here to Read More About Alteon. ADC-VX is the industry’s first application delivery controller hypervisor that runs multiple virtual ADC instances on a dedicated ADC hardware, Radware’s OnDemand Switch platforms.
What are the different types of load balancing algorithms?
The actual load-balancing process relies on an algorithm to tell it how to distribute requests to the actual servers in a virtual cluster. The three types of algorithms are static, dynamic and agent-based. A typical static algorithm is round-robin, simply sending each request to the next server in the group.
How does load balancing work in Radware Alteon?
Radware Alteon provides flexible load balancing solutions that can be customized to meet the unique needs of your environment – view more information, or call us today to talk about your specific situation.
How does a round robin load balancing algorithm work?
Round robin – A batch of servers are programmed to handle load in a rotating sequential manner. The algorithm assumes that each device is able to process the same number of requests and isn’t able to account for active connections. Weighted round robin – Servers are rated based on the relative amount of requests each is able to process.
Why are load balancing devices becoming more common?
Load-balancing devices are becoming more common to support high-traffic Web sites that can’t process all requests on a single server. Rather than move to more powerful hardware, it makes sense to create clusters, or farms, of servers.
