Load Balancing

In a computer network, load balancing is a technique to spread work between two or more computers, network links, CPUs, hard drives, or other resources, in order to get optimal resource utilization, maximize throughput, and minimize response time. Using multiple components with load balancing, instead of a single component, may increase reliability through redundancy. The balancing service is usually provided by a dedicated program or hardware device (such as a multi layer load balancing switch).

It is commonly used to mediate internal communications in computer clusters, especially high-availability clusters. (Source: Wikipedia)

Layer 2/7 load balancing capabilities within a switch provide:

Improved application availability and boost of application performance
Increased application and server scalability
Simplified server deployment and management
Enhanced application and server security

10GbE Statistical flow balancing addresses the current market need for handling:

Large number of connections (tens of millions)
High rate of connections (over 100,000 connections per second)
High throughput demands (from 10Gbps to more than 200Gbps)
