4. Load Balancing
In
addition to fail-over, some forms of clustering
also employ load balancing, which distributes
incoming traffic across a network of linked computers.
Network Load Balancing (NLB) complements Cluster
Service by supporting highly available and scalable
clusters for front-end applications and services,
such as Internet and intranet sites, Web-based
applications, media streaming, and terminal services.
