Loadbalancer.org Primary Use Case

Roger Seelaender - PeerSpot reviewer
UCaaS Engineering Manager at EarthLink

The primary use case of this solution is for the web application firewall. We have a Metaswitch system for our telephone service. We're front our SIP provisioning servers and our client communications portals with the WAF.

Loadbalancer.org together with Metaswitch in Enfield, England wrote a set of rules that are being managed on the Loadbalancer to prevent illegal entry, password hacking attempts, invalid SIP provisioning hacking attempts, or just general denial of service attacks into our cloud. It ensures that only what we expect to hit our systems is let through.

I work for a value-added reseller.

Loadbalancer.org is used when an application has multiple instances. 

There are also cases where you have a production and a disaster recovery scenario, and the customer wants the users to be able to switch from the production servers to the disaster recovery servers with as little downtime as possible.

Load-balancing a web application server. It's a requirement for the application which we're using, which is why we bought the hardware. It does its job. We don't touch it.

It has different models doing different things. One is basic load balancing. The other is doing a web application firewall. Another use case is for handling VPN exposure resources. There is one doing advanced DNS sharing as well.

Loadbalancer.org is used in a bank. All the traffic we forward to the QA are being redirected to Loadbalancer.org. There are additional load balancers created through Microsoft Azure and the traffic is being forwarded there as an additional layer to Loadbalancer.org where we are only using IP addresses and reports.

The Loadbalancer.org appliance sits directly behind our firewall, terminates all of our SSL/HTTP traffic and then directs it to the backend servers depending on the requested service.
