ADC Overview

Application Delivery Controllers (ADC)/Load balancer distributes network traffic across servers. It acts as a reverse proxy to increase the reliability of the applications by distributing incoming traffic from clients across multiple server resources.

Three core functions of load balancers are:

  • Efficiently distribute Network Load or Client's Request across servers.

  • Sending requests to the server available, enabling high application availability.

  • Increase and decrease the number of servers based on traffic.
