Site Load Balancing

FatPipe's Site Load Balancing solution, combined with FatPipe's patented SmartDNS technology, provides resiliency and continuity for businesses. It distributes traffic between two sites, utilizing all lines available at each site. Unlike traditional master/backup solutions, FatPipe Site Load Balancing utilizes both sites bandwidth and other resources.

FatPipe Site Load Balancing combines Internet load balancing and patented SmartDNS technology to ensure that their services are always available to their customers. By implementing both line load balancing and Site Load Balancing, the customer has redundancy not only in the event that they have a line failure but also in the event that the headquarter becomes totally off line.

Site load balancing compliments SmartDNS and enables SmartDNS to distribute over multiple locations. Each location tracks the status of the other location and provides for inbound load balancing between all the locations, or in the event of a failure of a site, redirect all traffic to the sites that are UP and reachable from the internet. This ensures zero downtime for clients and employees who can still access the servers providing business continuity while the Infrastructure team can analyze and bring up the other site.

Challenges

  • Network Downtime Due to Single Line Failures: FatPipe's Site Load Balancing empowers customers to improve availability of their applications and have no down time. Even when they experience several line failures, it does not affect connectivity because of the redundant path available due to the use of the FatPipe.
  • Challenge of Maintaining Business Continuity During Planned Site Maintenance or Migrations: FatPipe Site Load Balancing solution does not affect productivity even when customers had to bring their headquarter site offline while say - moving to a larger data center.
