Benefits of load balancing Sendmail

Load balancing Sendmail distributes the incoming fax and client requests across multiple RightFax servers, preventing any single server from becoming a bottleneck or a single point of failure:

  • High availability (HA): Load balancing prevents a single server failure from halting all fax operations. If one RightFax server goes down due to hardware, software, or maintenance issues, the load balancer automatically redirects all traffic to the remaining healthy servers. This failover capability ensures that your business-critical faxing remains available around the clock, which is essential for regulated industries and high-volume environments.
  • Scalability: As your organization grows or experiences seasonal spikes in fax traffic, load balancing allows you to easily add more RightFax servers to the pool. The load balancer instantly incorporates the new servers to distribute the workload. This enables a pay-as-you-grow model, ensuring your fax infrastructure can scale its capacity to meet future demand without requiring costly over-provisioning upfront.
  • Improved performance: By distributing client connections and fax processing tasks evenly across all available servers, load balancing ensures that no single server is overwhelmed. This results in quicker document processing and delivery times, better response times for users accessing the RightFax client or web interface, and overall higher system throughput.
