We do a lot of work with object storage solution providers, and one of the main concerns that they have is throughput.

In the load balancing world active/active has multiple meanings. And once you've got that hurdle out the way, you need to then work out whether you actually need it.
Splunk Enterprise enables you to search, analyze, and visualize the data gathered from the components of your IT infrastructure or business.
Organizations are moving away from the traditional data center model, and favoring a hybrid approach to hosting their systems and applications, that involves multiple sites, providers and even cloud environments.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) enables you to distribute internet or corporate network traffic across servers in multiple locations, anywhere in the world. But why – and when – should you use it?
Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Disney and Apple recently began streaming content at lower bit rates - but is it actually improving performance or just good PR?
We have built upon our existing strengths in virtualized environments to become Nutanix certified, with the addition of support for Nutanix AHV positions.
To design a well-targeted disaster recovery plan, you need to work out two key metrics: the Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and the Recovery Time Objective (RTO).
Yes, it's the end of an era... after many years arguing that GSLB has no place on a proper load balancer, I've finally found a solid reason to add one to our product. Yes, you read that right! I've officially surrendered and given you a new GSLB to play with...!
Technically, the only mode on a load balancer that is a real Reverse Proxy is Layer 7 mode. Whereas all Layer 4 load balancing modes such as NAT, DR and TUN are nothing like a reverse proxy. The clients are effectively talking directly (transparently) to the backend servers.
In part one we were introduced to Polaris-GSLB which is a cool little open source GSLB solution. In part two of this Blog I’m going to show you how to build Polaris-GSLB on CentOS 7.
Here at Loadbalancer.org we’re not known for being huge fans of GSLB solutions as some of our customers may already know.
Anyone who has been watching Loadbalancer.org over the last few years will have noticed the things that we don't like :-). We've made it pretty clear that we don't like load balancing firewalls and we've also been pretty reluctant to turn our load balancers into a GSLB.
OK, Before the flames start let me state the usual caveat, "GSLBs don't ALWAYS suck, just most of the time".
