This paper provides some insight, background and comparisons of various product alternatives in the marketplace to enhance public/private Internet site performance, 24/7 reliability, and economic scalability. Solutions that offer these capabilities come in many flavors, but at their core is a function known as load balancing. We'll explore this concept in more detail, and provide an outline of key benefits one should expect when evaluating the right solution for a growing business. We'll also segment these solutions into understandable categories to enable better side-by-side comparisons.
