Global Server
Load Balancing

Improve user experience and ensure disaster recovery

How many customers have you lost due to latency and unreliable service?

Traditionally, companies use global server load balancing to deal with disaster recovery for private data centers. However, a limited amount of private data centers restricts the ability to reach a global audience and deliver a fast and seamless experience.

TODAY’S REALITY REGARDING CONTENT DELIVERY

Your customers’ demands for peak, “always-on” performance are growing — failure isn’t an option. An advanced application delivery controller is now your competitive edge.

Legacy Global Traffic Management is Inadequate

Slow Localized Response

Users abandon a company after negative interactions

Risk of Service Disruption

$1M

Cost of hourly downtime for enterprise organizations

Failure to Meet Compliance

10M

Euros or 2% of global annual revenue fines

Grow Beyond Infrastructure Limitations

A global server load balancer should expand server load balancing functionality across global data centers for high availability, fault tolerance, and the best user experience. You can provide a better experience to your customers through global network intelligence to select the best site for each user request, while safeguarding your network for disaster recovery.

Ensure your business stays online

Provide high availability and business continuity for services or resources 24/7
Deliver content from servers that are closest to the user or have lower utilization to minimize latency
Intelligently monitor the site’s health, proximity and response time for advanced server selection

Protect your business from service interruptions

Enable disaster recovery by immediately redirecting user traffic to the closest alternative site to minimize downtime in case of failure
Avoid service disruptions, even during data center maintenance, including migrations and upgrade

Gain business flexibility and optimize global performance

Intelligently distribute the application requests based on site health, proximity, geo-location and response times to maintain consistent service
Enable content and language localization by forwarding requests to servers hosting customized content
Support flexible deployment with private, public and hybrid clouds

Build customer trust and brand credibility

Satisfy regulatory and security requirements for data processing with geo-location database
Control traffic by applying custom policies based on geo-location information for security and regulatory purposes
