Load Balancing

To distribute incoming client requests across a cluster, you can use a load balancer. These load balancers operate independently of Microsoft Application Center 2000 (Application Center) but you can use Application Center to manage them. With the ability to manage load balancing, Application Center provides complete cluster administration capabilities. This section provides information about using the different types of load balancers that Application Center supports.

This section includes:

• Using NLB 

• Using CLB 

• Handling Requests in Load-Balanced Environments
