Summary

Load balancing distributes traffic efficiently among network servers so that no individual server is overburdened. This vendor- neutral guide to the concepts and terminology of load balancing offers practical guidance to planning and implementing the technology in most environments. Server Load Balancing includes a configuration guide with diagrams and sample configurations for installing, configuring, and maintaining products from the four major server load balancing vendors. By comparing several load balancing products, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the technology and how best to use it to improve your network performance. No system administrator responsible for traffic management should be without this practical guide.
