Enhancing Cloud Scalability and Resilience
IONOS offers a Managed Network Load Balancer to help businesses maximize application availability by scaling up fast and protecting IT infrastructure against downtime. With the increasing demand for cloud services, workloads in virtual data centers can fluctuate, leading to the risk of downtime. The IONOS Cloud Network Load Balancer automatically distributes the load over multiple servers to minimize disruption during scaling. By keeping the cloud operating smoothly even during peak demand, businesses can ensure seamless service delivery to their users.
Efficient Load Balancing for Reliable Performance
The Managed Network Load Balancer from IONOS provides effective multi-layer protection by increasing the redundancy of cloud applications. By distributing network traffic across multiple endpoints based on user-defined rules, the load balancer prevents single points of failure. This process can be automated to ensure efficient load balancing at all times. Additionally, IONOS offers different algorithms such as Round Robin, Least Connection, Source IP, or Random to apply forwarding rules, providing flexibility and customization based on specific requirements.
Advanced Features for Customization and Control
IONOS's Managed Network Load Balancer includes a range of advanced features to enhance performance and control. It offers health checks with adjustable metrics for independent monitoring and maintenance mode options to exclude specific virtual machines temporarily. Users can choose from various algorithms to distribute traffic dynamically, create multiple IPs with forwarding rules, and define freely configurable rules to adapt to changing infrastructure requirements. Sticky sessions optimize network resource usage, ensuring reliable access to personalized apps even under peak loads.
Reliable Redundancy and Pricing Structure
The Managed Network Load Balancer is designed to be highly available, providing redundancy to ensure continuous service operation. In case of interruptions, the system can automatically restore redundancy levels by switching components. IONOS offers a transparent pricing structure for its load balancing service, with costs based on the number of forwarding rules. Starting with the first 5 forwarding rules at $0.024 per hour and $0.012 per hour for each additional rule, businesses can efficiently manage their network load balancing costs and scale their services as needed.
