Here at Loadbalancer.org, we'd like to say a big thank you to all of our customers, partners and staff. Coinciding with the opening of our new Californian support office in San Mateo; Loadbalancer.org has been awarded the prestigious Queen's Award for Enterprise 2018, International Trade.
Load balancing NFS is a real pain — especially when it comes to the locked mounts issue. In this blog I'll explain how to create a highly available NFS server for Kerberos.
Several people visiting our stand mentioned the announcement that Kemp Technologies had released a free load balancer. Understandably, they were interested to hear if we would be responding in kind.
The Loadbalancer.org Feedback Agent is installed on the Session Host servers to provide real time performance stats to enable optimum load distribution.
The Loadbalancer.org appliance automatically detects changes in your auto-scaling groups, with zero configuration and zero downtime.
Direct Server Return (DSR) is my favorite way to load balance application servers because it’s simple, transparent, and super fast.
In the Azure Management Portal, select the Virtual Machines option, click on the newly deployed Load Balancer VM, click on Network interfaces and then select the network interface attached to the load balancer, then click IP configurations and ensure that IP forwarding is Enabled.
My first piece of code was an animated fish tank (because I wasn't allowed a real one). I soon started dreaming of being a software developer and started learning machine code.
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...!
Our aim is always to deliver the features you want, without presenting you with a deluge of checkboxes. Anything out of the ordinary can be achieved via a separate manual configuration - and we are always happy to build one for you.
As I design, build and sell load balancers based on LVS and HAProxy, it’s in my interests to combat the avalanche of NGINX+ marketing propaganda that I've seen over the last year. Let's call it an attempt to skewer fake news.
The WAF addresses the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and is very quick and simple to deploy.
Nutanix offers a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) platform that integrates virtualization, computing, networking, storage, and security resources into a single system.
I dream of a world where people stop calling a *link balancer* a *load balancer* — because we don't sell link balancers!
I would like to say thank you to all of those that visited us at our stand during the 2 days we were there - we hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did!
L3 DSR is an alternative technique to achieve direct server return at Layer 3. Instead of using an IPIP tunnel like LVS-TUN it changes the destination IP address like LVS-NAT when sending the traffic to the real server.
You can check directly what customers having been telling Gartner about Loadbalancer.org, JetNexus, Barracuda Networks and Kemp Technologies on the new Peer Insights platform.
LVS-DR and LVS-TUN are both forms of Direct Server Return where the load balancer only has to deal with one half of the connection.
Automation is very important for many organisations, which is why it's one of the core features of our upcoming V9 release.
We recently held a coffee morning at Loadbalancer.org HQ to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support. To support the charity we were selling coffee and cake throughout the day - and we even had a bake off! I must admit...competition was tough!
HAProxy is awesome. So awesome in fact, that here at Loadbalancer.org HQ - I find it very difficult to generate enough load to break it...so let's try harder!
Security through obscurity is not a great idea when it is your ONLY protection technique. For example moving your SSH port from 22 -> 23 won't fool any hackers for long! However, I've always liked putting a 'double login' in front of important web sites to frustrate simple automated hacking tools.
Whether archiving, editing or streaming media, downtime is not an option for the broadcast industry.
