When you need highly scalable performance and nothing less than 100% reliability, its time to start thinking about a High Availability (HA) internet Solution. Load balancing improves network performance by distributing traffic efficiently so that individual servers are not overwhelmed by sudden fluctuations in activity.

Server Load Balancing is a critical component of high availability, clustering, and fault tolerance, all of which provide the infrastructure for reliable Internet sites and large corporate networks.

Content load balancing distributes web traffic between multiple servers performing different functions in the same location. For example, MaxNOC can direct requests for static web objects to a cache server farm and requests for dynamic web content to an application server farm. The result is a much more efficient, high-performance web hosting platform.

Table 6: High Availability Pricing Schedule

HA-Method	Process	Ideal For	*Setup	*Mo
Layer-2	Port traffic is mirroed between redundant ports.	Static Content, File Servers	$500	$250
Layer-3	Distributes the traffic load depending on the source IP address. Providing reliability for IP dependent applications such as VOIP.	Web Servers, Database Servers	$900	$400
Layer-4 Layer-7	Provides session persistency on TCP Layer-4 / Layer-7.	E-Commerce Sites, Network Portals	$1250	$600

Whether you are considering a simple load balanced/redundant dual webserver system or a complicated 3-tier UNIX based application/DB environment, MaxNOC can design, implement and maintain your system at lower costs than a full time team of specialized personell. Of course, faster too.
