Here we look at a Splunk SmartStore architecture that utilizes NetApp StorageGRID and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) to provide resilience and HA.
There are loads of options available for hosting applications across multiple sites or data centers. But how do you pick the best one for your needs?
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) enables you to distribute internet or corporate network traffic across servers in multiple locations, anywhere in the world. But why – and when – should you use it?
Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Disney and Apple recently began streaming content at lower bit rates - but is it actually improving performance or just good PR?
We're pleased to announce that we are now certified as Nutanix Ready. The Enterprise VA range of software load balancers now deliver scalable, reliable and secure application delivery in Nutanix Acropolis.
