Server Vector Load Balancing

Only the EdgeXOS platform incorporates both link balancing and server load balancing into the same platform along with bandwidth management and full network reporting.

SVLB Methods

Server Vector Load Balancing is the ability to balance connectivity across multiple WAN links and multiple servers at the same time, thus increasing throughput and reliability for inbound network sessions. By combining these features into a single appliance, the EdgeXOS platform does so at a lower overall cost and delivers a faster return on investment.

Our server load balancing techniques are designed to be simplistic, i.e. easy to configure and manage. While the EdgeXOS may not include all of the capabilities as some other server load balancing solutions, we do have capabilities not found in other solutions, including:

• ISP Link Balancing
• ActiveDNS Manipulation
• WAN Redundancy / Failover
• Built-In Traffic Shaping
• Full Network Usage Reporting

How Does It Work

Our server load balancing solutions work by excepting inbound server requests on one or more WAN links and then balancing those requests across the various defined servers. Servers are monitored for uptime and removed automatically from the balancing algorithm if an outage is detected.

Servers are balanced in a round-robin order or can be weighted by the administrator.

Inbound connections can also be distributed across the various WAN links as needed.

Inbound connections are balanced between WAN links via our ActiveDNS technology and then load balanced across various servers based on pre-defined administrative weights.
