Load Balancer Software

This CIT represents software that provides load balancing solutions. For details on the supported load balancers, see Overview.

Clustered Server

A clustered server is a traffic-management object on the system that can balance traffic load across a pool of servers. Clustered servers increase the availability of resources for processing client requests. The primary function of a clustered server is to receive requests and distribute them to pool members according to criteria you specify.

Load Balancing Cluster

A load balancing cluster (or pool) is a logical set of devices that are grouped together to receive and process traffic. Instead of sending client traffic to the destination IP address specified in the client request, the virtual server sends the request to any of the servers that are members of that pool. This helps to efficiently distribute the load on your server resources.
