Keep your web sites available all the time
The web cluster uses load balancing to send your visitors’ requests to available servers. If a server fails, it is automatically removed from the available servers pool and your visitors are sent to servers capable of serving your web site's functionalities.
-
Scale and increase capacity when you need it
No need to fear being featured on the biggest web sites, with a web cluster you are ready for a storm of visitors. Upgrade from 2 to tens of servers in hours whenever you need it. Install your web cluster in a private dedicated server rack and scale to hundreds of servers.
-
Improved performance
By sharing your web applications’ load between multiple servers you will decrease the needed resources on each servers and improve the performance for your end users. Add as many servers as you wish to maintain your preferred performance level.
-
Enhanced Security
In addition to using your own dedicated private switch, your web servers are installed behind the load balancers that can also act as firewalls allowing only for the accepted traffic to reach your web servers. Firewall rules can be customized to fit your specific needs.
