If you have a very busy website, you may well wish to spread the load across a number of front-end webservers. You can add any specification of server to the farm - they don’t all need to be the same specification - and Server City can tailor a load-balanced hosting solution to your available servers by offering a weighting scheme.

We offer a pair of intelligent, redundant Cisco CSS 11500 Series Content Services switches which offer robust application delivery (i.e. Layers 4 to 7).

Key features:

• Our switches introduce an intelligent, distributed architecture to help organizations meet the real-world scaling requirements of today’s application infrastructure.

• Our switches improve application and site availability and transaction integrity by introducing Adaptive Session Redundancy (ASR), an industry standard instateful failover.

• Our switches deliver the greatest flexibility of any content switch in its class for customizing combinations of ports, performance, and services.

• Our switches scale secured application transaction performance through support of an integrated, high-capacity Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) module. Off-loading SSL onto the network improves the overall performance of the web and application server enabling better application performance.

• Our switches provide an integrated high-capacity web application (Hypertext Transfer Protocol, HTTP) compression module. Web application (HTTP) compression improves application response time by 20 to 50%, off-load the compression from the server, which reduces server workload, and decreases the traffic traversing wide area networks (WANs), which reduces bandwidth requirements and improves overall application response times; improving productivity.

There are a number of ways in which we can load-balance your servers, including:

• Symmetric Load
• Asymmetric Load
• SSL Offload and Acceleration
• Priority queuing
• Content aware switching
• RRDNS

Pricing:

	Per Load balanced Switch Port Set-up £95.00 Monthly £50.00(minimum two required)

	SSL Acceleration Set-up £195.00 Monthly £195.00
