Server Load Balancing - Stonesoft
StoneGate Firewalls and IPS sensors have built-in clustering and load balancing that removes the need for third-party clustering solutions.
Clustering ensures high availability of the security engines, thus allowing uninterrupted operations during system maintenance and updates.
- Scale up the VPN performance of a firewall solution and the throughput of an IPS solution
- Eliminate the risk of downtime
- Cluster up to 16 nodes to function as a single security engine
StoneGate's built-in load balancing capabilities allow security engines to dynamically balance connections between cluster nodes, transparently transfering connections to available nodes in case a node becomes overloaded or fails. The way the load balancing is designed allows using engine nodes with different hardware in the cluster. The clustering and load-balancing technologies in StoneGate security engine have evolved from Stonesoft's StoneBeat products.
