The Load Balancer service provides an extra measure of stability and redundancy for University systems and servers residing behind firewalls in UVM's datacenters.
Clients are provided with their own load balancer partition on a shared F5 BIG-IP load balancer. Clients have the advantage of a professionally administered and maintained load balancer service without the overhead and expense of doing it themselves.
Features
- Able to remove servers from pools for maintenance without affecting the availability of a service.
- Distributes inbound traffic across multiple back-end destinations.
- Able to act as a proxy from the Internet to local private addresses.
Get Started
To request Load Balancing services, please contact System Architecture and Administration
Performance and component failures are monitored 24/7. Personnel are paged in the event of failure and will respond to alerts. Clients will be contacted 48 hours in advance of planned Load Balancer maintenance.
