Websites have become critical components of most businesses’ core operations. They support the brand and ordering process, serve as data information resources and assist in overall customer care. Having poor website performance or poor reliability can destroy or severely damage a business and its reputation. The increasing importance of these websites leads to critical requirements of security, reliability and scalability. Delivering these, however, can leave an SMB stretched beyond its resources. Many SMBs do not have the budget to maintain a full IT support staff, nor a redundant data center environment. As a result, many organizations turn to a managed hosting provider such as REDPLAID.In order to provide the high levels of security, reliability and scalability REDPLAID required for its customers, they began a search for an effective load balancing solution. It required a manageable device with high-availability that was easy to operate for customers who might not be well-versed in such technology. The load balancer also needed to be priced to meet SMB budgets.
