Load Balancing

For some organisations, zero downtime is not just a goal but a fundamental requirement. Claranet’s use of ‘Global Server Load Balancing’ (GSLB) technologies allows for the creation of bespoke, geographically-diverse highly available solutions.

By provisioning redundant servers, load balancers and firewalls in either Claranet’s German or French datacentres customers can eliminate the final single point of failure – geographic location.

Our very high availability solutions are constantly monitored with a variety of health checks and system tests to ensure application availability. In the event of a catastrophic failure web traffic is transparently routed to the backup data centre, allowing business critical applications to continue to function.

Features

• A choice of 'best of breed' hardware (Foundry ServerIron and Netscaler).
• Full consultative approach. Claranet engineers will build a GSLB solution from the ground-up, fully tailored for your organisation.
• A variety of algorithms including active/passive and
  geographic load balancing can be deployed.

Benefits

• Up to 99.999% percent uptime offered on GSLB solutions.
• Peace of mind from eliminating single points of failure.
• Fully scalable, modular design.
