    Overview

    Play video

    Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) is typically used to provide data center failover or to enhance end user performance by directing users to their closest data centers using geolocation. GSLB is a DNS based system that manipulates the DNS response based on the availability and performance profile of the data centers.

    Resiliency and Disaster Recovery Run two data centers in an Active-Passive architecture so that if one data center fails, traffic will be sent to the other.

    Load Balancing and Geo-Location Distribute traffic between multiple data centers in an Active-Active architecture based on specific criteria including: fixed weight, round robin, data center health check, geo-location of the client etc.

    Hybrid cloud, multi cloud Easily migrate live workloads between multiple clouds or run a hybrid cloud setup in active-active or active-passive.

    Highlights

    • Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) gives you ultimate control in your application delivery service.
    • Ensure that users from certain geographic locations are sent to the right data center.
    • Easily migrate live workloads between multiple clouds or run a hybrid cloud setup in active-active or active-passive.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
