Load Balancers

In the event of a catastrophic failure, load balancers will re-route web traffic to a backup datacentre, allowing your business-critical applications to continue to function. This is esential for your business when any downtime can result in loss of revenue and a negative impact on your reputation. Claranet can provide a technically advanced Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) service if you need a bespoke, geographically-diverse highly available solution.

Typically customers take advantage of Claranet's International network to create a UK headquartered website, with a resilient failover site in a secondary country. For example, by provisioning redundant servers, load balancers and firewalls in our German or French datacentres, you are able to eliminate the final single point of failure – geographic location. This is an ideal solution if you have related businesses in different continents which need access to a specific regional site, as each can have a failover solution in another geographic location.
