Dedicated Windows Server with Network Load Balancing (NLB) Solution
Windows Network Load Balancing (NLB)
Network Load Balancing is a clustering technology offered by Microsoft as part of all Windows Server family operating systems. NLB uses a distributed algorithm to load balance network traffic across a number of hosts, helping to enhance the scalability and availability of mission critical, IP-based services, such as Web, Virtual Private Networking, Streaming Media, Terminal Services, Proxy, etc. It also provides high availability by detecting host failures and automatically redistributing traffic to operational hosts.
Network Load Balancing servers (also called hosts) in a cluster communicate among themselves to provide key benefits, including:
-
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.
-
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.
Solution:
- Configure web server 1 and web server 2 as Windows Load Balancing servers.
