How Load Balancer works

01

Create load balancer

Order one of 8 load balancer plans based on your traffic volume through your Client Portal.

02

Configure forwarding conditions

Add active servers to your load balancer and create port forwarding rules based on a selected algorithm.

03

Monitor performance

See your load balancer CPU usage, number of sessions, and other metrics in real time.

Popular use cases

Web Applications

Balance your incoming HTTP and HTTPS requests accross multiple web servers to allow your application to be scaled horizontally by adding more servers as needed.

Micro-services

Distribute requests among different micro-services, facilitate service discovery, enable blue-green deployments, or improve security via SSL termination.

Fault Tolerance

If one server fails, use load balancer to get your traffic redirected to the remaining healthy servers, minimizing downtime and maintaining high availability.

Gaming Servers

Assign your gaming sessions to multiple servers to handle high volumes of concurrent players. Maintain low latency and premium gaming experience.

Load Balancer Benefits

Enhanced Scalability and Redundancy

Load balancers let you add or remove server instances easily. This helps your network adjust to changing demands. Our system supports active sessions of up to 80,000. This means your applications can manage many concurrent connections. These systems manage traffic smoothly with protocols like HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTPS, and TCP. Their built-in redundancy ensures high availability. This improves availability and keeps your services reliable.

Optimized Performance and Protocol Support

The load balancer uses algorithms like round robin, least connections, and source IP hashing. These methods share requests evenly among servers. This smart routing reduces latency and increases throughput. It handles bandwidth up to 550 Mbps and allows monthly traffic of 20 TB. The system monitors the network and makes real-time adjustments. This ensures top performance, even during peak times.

Cost Efficiency and Predictable Billing

Our load balancer pricing begins at €0.02 per hour. This makes it an affordable choice for any business. You can save money by using resources effectively. This prevents server overloads. Overloads can cause costly downtime and added provisioning. The pay-as-you-go model and flexible billing options make it easy to manage costs. You can also scale resources when necessary. This straightforward cost structure helps with budgeting and resource planning.

Easy Management and Monitoring

Cherry servers’ load balancers come with intuitive management interfaces, which simplify configuration and monitoring. You can quickly set up forwarding conditions. Simply add active servers. Then, create port rules using your selected balancing algorithm. You can check your load balancer's health by watching CPU usage, session counts, and network throughput in real time. This management process meets industry standards for network administration.

Load Balancer FAQs

What is a Load Balancer?

A load balancer is a tool that spreads network traffic among several servers. It helps networks to run better and boosts their reliability of service. Load balancers ensure that your apps keep running without problems, even when there are sudden increases in traffic. They direct requests using protocols like HTTP, HTTP/2, HTTPS, and TCP, which keeps performance high and availability steady.

What Load Balancer plans do you offer?

We currently offer 8 Load Balancer plans that can be scaled up or down depending on your needs. Plans differ in regard to their CPU, bandwidth, and traffic parameters. Based on our test results, one Load Balancer CPU can serve up to 10k sessions.

What traffic forwarding rules can I use?

You may set up server weights, configure forwarding port and protocol, select traffic distribution algorithm, and enable additional functionality like sticky sesisons, health checks, http to https redirect, or proxy IP preservation.

What is the purpose of a Load Balancer?

A load balancer maximizes resource use and supports the consistent operation of services. It spreads incoming requests across servers using methods like round robin and least connections. This reduces latency and prevents any server from becoming overloaded. As a result, it enhances reliability and overall performance in busy environments. Our load balancers can handle up to 80,000 active sessions.

What are the types of Load Balancers?

There are several types of load balancers. These include hardware, software, and cloud-based options. Each type has its benefits. They vary in scalability, flexibility, and ease of management. Hardware load balancers give you high speed and quick response times. In contrast, software and cloud options provide flexibility and save costs. These setups follow industry standards for smooth network management. This helps keep operations strong and secure.
