Frequently Asked Questions
What is a load balancer?
A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple backend servers. This prevents any single server from becoming overwhelmed, improving application responsiveness and availability.
What is SSL offloading?
SSL offloading is a process where the load balancer handles the computationally intensive tasks of encrypting and decrypting SSL/TLS traffic. This frees up the web servers to focus on serving application content.
How does the subscription model work?
The subscription model provides ongoing access to the load balancing software, including regular updates, security patches, and technical support. This ensures your system remains current and protected.
