The ANS network load balancer supports L4 network load balancing and integrates with both virtualization and container platforms to provide unified network management and service scaling capabilities.
Key features include:
Uses a layered architecture with decoupled management, control, and data planes, providing more flexible configuration management, stable traffic forwarding, and good portability.
Uses the Keepalived + Linux Virtual Server (LVS) mode to achieve high availability for virtual services, preventing service unavailability caused by load balancer single points of failure.
Supports high-concurrency traffic, allowing you to flexibly adjust the number of backend servers based on workload requirements for more efficient resource utilization.
Supports a rich set of load balancing algorithms, multiple proactive health check mechanisms, and client-side traffic control and access control, further improving server reliability and availability.
The ANS network load balancer not only meets your application's high-performance and high-availability requirements, but also addresses the shortcomings of hardware load balancers. You can combine the flexible software load balancer with virtualization or hyperconverged platforms to accelerate digital transformation.
