Avoid bottlenecks and outages.
Load balancing is essential when you have multiple data centers, content delivery networks or servers spread across various facilities. By evenly distributing traffic, you ensure no one server is overburdened by sudden activity. It's a smart way to prevent traffic jams or costly outages.

How It Works
It's even smarter to balance loads in the cloud, harnessing the power of the UltraDNS global network. By constantly monitoring host servers, it yields metrics that enable dynamic responses to DNS requests, guaranteeing the most efficient routing to your resources.
 

Moreover, you have the ability to define load balancing configurations, setting thresholds for notification, weight redistribution and failover. You can also direct probes at either the record or pool level for simpler management. We offer weighted load balancing along with the traditional round-robin approach, letting you assign a weight or percentage of traffic to a host server.
 

You'll benefit from:

• Weighted load balancing integrated in your DNS infrastructure
• The flexibility to define server load configurations
• A stand-alone service or a complement to your existing load balancing solution
