Load balancing and high availability for your virtual rack.

Sign Up

Overview:

Cisco ACE Load-balancing service distributes incoming traffic towards many servers or virtual machines into your virtual rack.

It is a completely hardware solution that ensures easy accessibility and scalability of your websites or applications.

Cisco ACE Load-balancing detects faulty servers or VMs and automatically excludes them from your "pool", redirecting traffic towards healthy servers or VMs.

Finally, thanks to the "sticky groups" system, load-balancing ACE can link a user to a specific server/VM, greatly simplifying sharing sessions across multiple servers/VMs.
