Welcome to the Load Balancer Channel

Welcome to the Load Balancer Channel, an online resource that sheds light on advances in Application Delivery Controller technology.

Computer networks today are inundated with more traffic and codes than ever before causing many companies to enlist the help of a load balancer, a technology that monitors and distributes the workload evenly across two or more computers, hard drives, network links or CPUs. The end result is greater efficiency, increased resource utilization and maximized production.

Sponsored by Coyote Point Systems, the Load Balancer Channel will focus on the current state of load balancing and how advanced Application Delivery Controller technology can significantly improve application availability and performance in the data center and across the enterprise. To learn more about the latest trends in load balancer technology and to keep up to date with the most current white papers and case studies, stay tuned to the Load Balancer channel.
