GSLB (Global Server Load Balancer) a.k.a. Multi-site Load Balancer
GSLB stands for Global Server Load Balancer. This type of load balancer goes beyond the traditional local load balancing and is designed for distributing traffic across multiple data centers or geographically distributed servers.
- A GSLB load balancer is concerned with global or wide-area load balancing.
- It takes into account factors such as server proximity, server health, and geographic location to intelligently distribute traffic across multiple locations.
Types of Load Balancer
Load Balancers distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure optimal resource utilization, minimize response time, and prevent server overload. When it comes to load balancing, three primary types exist: software load balancers, hardware load balancers, and virtual load balancers.
