Our load balancing services ensure fast connections and fail safe 24x7 access to web sites and other critical Internet and Intranet applications which helps you minimize response time while maximizing site availability. Our solutions support all Internet protocols and accommodate all operating systems.

The load balancer determines which server in your network is the least loaded and routes requests to that machine. Because it intelligently assigns requests, all of your servers can operate at their full capacity - you won't have some servers sitting idle while others are overloaded. This can dramatically improve your site's reliability and response time, reducing your need for additional web servers and enhancing the user experience. Designed to be highly-scalable, it maintains the same high-speed performance as you add servers to the system. You can easily build highly-available, fault-tolerant sites.

Service offerings include:

		Local load balancing
		Distributed load balancing
		Reverse proxy acceleration

NetMagic besides setting up, operating and managing the Load Balancers offers the following:

		Dedicated Load Balancer
		24 x 7 monitoring of Load Balancer functionality
		Copies of log file reports upon request for customer records for the past seven days
		System administration
		Configuration data backup

LOAD BALANCER - FAIL OVER SOLUTION

This solution is designed to deliver high availability on the Load Balancer. NetMagic will provide a dedicated hot standby Load Balancer, which automatically detects failure of the primary load balancer and takes over when the primary fails.

The primary and secondary load balancers are connected to NetMagic's and the customer's networks through switches or hubs. NetMagic will work with the customer to recommend a solution based on the requirements. The recommendation may require additional network equipment and network services. The cost of the hubs, switches and secondary network connects are not included with the Load balancer price and must be purchased separately by the customer.

NetMagic can also provide the customer with Redundant Path connectivity for the Load Balancing. Please see specification sheet for Redundant path services.
