BalanceNG is a software load balancer and failover solution that provides several benefits to organizations and individuals who use it:
High availability
BalanceNG can distribute network traffic across multiple servers, NICs or internet connections, which increases the availability of the services being provided. This means that if one server or connection goes down, BalanceNG will automatically redirect traffic to another available server or connection.
Improved performance
BalanceNG can distribute network traffic across multiple servers, NICs or internet connections, which can improve the performance of the services being provided. By distributing the load among multiple servers or connections, BalanceNG can help prevent bottlenecks and reduce the risk of service downtime.
Increased security
BalanceNG can be used to distribute network traffic across multiple servers, NICs or internet connections, which can increase the security of the services being provided. By distributing the load among multiple servers or connections, BalanceNG can help prevent a single point of failure and reduce the risk of a security breach.
Flexibility
BalanceNG can be used in a wide range of settings, including small and medium-sized businesses, enterprise companies, and service providers. It can be used to balance traffic across multiple servers, NICs or internet connections, and it can be configured to handle a wide range of network protocols. The integrated IP stack is optimised for load balancing and independent of common OS boundaries.
Easy to use
BalanceNG is easy to install and configure, and it provides a simple, intuitive textual interface that makes it easy for users to manage and optimize network traffic.
Cost-effective
BalanceNG is a cost-effective solution for load balancing and failover, as it can be used in place of expensive hardware load balancers.
