Smart Web Load Balancing with Request Dispatcher

Pramati Web Load Balancer offers much more than a traditional load balancing solution. Unlike other hardware load balancing solutions, Pramati Load Balancer's request processing intelligence makes it a powerful software Load Balancer bringing much more flexibility to the application layer.

Unlike most hardware Load Balancers, which are used to split out traffic based on its destination port and IP address; enabling routing packets to the correct cluster, the Web Load Balancer has an advanced traffic management unit, which inspects each request and direct it to the most appropriate server ensuring that sessions are honored and no individual server is overloaded.

The request processing intelligence makes it a powerful software Load Balancer bringing much more flexibility to the application layer. Pramati Web Load Balancer integerates with other commercial Application servers, thus making it a cost effective solution for many enterprises willing to adapt a sophisticated traffic management setup.

This Web Load Balancer provides all functionalities expected from a Software Load Balancer. It is functionally robust and highly configurable. In addition to being used with a Pramati Server Cluster, it is compatible with any HTTP server including Apache^TM, Pramati, Caudium^TM, Cherokee^TM, and Microsoft IIS^TM. The only requirement for Pramati Load Balancer to start dispatching requests is the IP address of backend servers and ports on which they are running.
