Optimal load distribution for maximum availability
LBaaS lets you distribute network traffic efficiently across multiple servers, which ensures optimal performance and availability. Integrated into existing systems, this service enables flexible scaling, high cost efficiency, and maximum reliability.
Scalable load balancing for effortless expansion of your cloud infrastructure
SysEleven Octavia LBaaS supports you with various features, including load balancing for HTTP, HTTPS, and TCP-based services. These functions are crucial for secure, highly available, and efficient access to HTTP APIs. They act as a secure access point that creates a boundary between untrusted and trusted zones. Additionally, Octavia handles routing, central monitoring of HTTP requests, and SSL termination and offloads these tasks from the backend servers.
Load balancer service
The SysEleven Load Balancer is technically based on OpenStack Octavia/amphorae. Amphorae are dedicated instances of the load balancer that are managed by SysEleven (as a service).

FAQs
There are various types of load balancing, but generally, it works as follows:
- Workload detection: A load balancer monitors the workload on available resources, such as servers, network connections, or application instances. This can be done by monitoring loads on CPU, memory, network traffic, or other metrics.
- Distribution strategy: The load balancer selects how to distribute incoming requests among the available servers based on various algorithms.
- Request forwarding: The requests are then forwarded to the selected resources, such as to servers in a server cluster, or by switching between different network paths and routes.
Why Is load balancing important?
Load balancing offers a range of benefits, including:
- Scalability: A website or application can handle increases in data traffic without losing performance by evenly distributing the load across multiple servers.
- Redundancy: In the event of a server failure, the load balancer can automatically redirect traffic to other functioning servers. This increases fault tolerance and minimizes downtime.
- Optimized performance: Load balancing can improve response times and make sure that resource utilization stays stable by assigning requests to the most suitable server.
- Flexibility: Load balancers can also prioritize certain types of traffic or reserve specific servers for special tasks, increasing the network’s flexibility and efficiency.
