Frequently Asked Questions
What is a load balancer?
A load balancer distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers. This prevents any single server from becoming overwhelmed, improving application responsiveness and ensuring high availability.
What is SSL offloading?
SSL offloading is a process where the load balancer handles the encryption and decryption of SSL/TLS traffic, rather than the web servers. This frees up server resources, allowing them to focus on serving application content more efficiently.
How does this license ensure high availability?
The license enables the Barracuda Load Balancer to monitor the health of your servers. If a server fails, the load balancer automatically redirects traffic to other available servers, ensuring your applications remain accessible to users.
