As switches have evolved into load balancers, and layer 4 load balancers have evolved into layer 7 load balancers, what's the next step?
This new white paper describes 9 new areas that can be addressed by load balancers and discusses:
- Should you balance loads or requests?
- How should you balance Web Services? Should you use XPath?
- What about end-to-end encryption?
- How can you cope with compound failures? Is it possible to scale beyond pairs?
- What's the best way of ensuring that you meet SLAs?
- Can traffic managers be configured to protect against DDoS?
- How can you use your traffic manager to accelerate applications?
