Advantages of DataLine cloud balancer:
Disaster-proof performance: all components of a balancer are duplicated on geographically distributed sites.
Suitable for geographically distributed applications hosted in clouds of different service providers, as well as for implementation of multi-cloud architecture.
Simple horizontal scalability and addition of new sites.
When and how to use GSLB?
For content delivery acceleration
Manage traffic distribution of an application, deployed on several sites.
In case of an emergency
Forward application traffic from faulty nodes to operational ones.
During peak loads
In order to reduce load on private clouds, connect additional resources of public clouds and transit a part of load on them.
Features of GSLB
Supporting several clusters and sites for container applications
Simple migration and connection of new data centers or clouds
Adapted for operation with micro-service architecture and containers
Monitoring metrics, event logs and other service analysis tools
Monitoring metrics, event logs and other service analysis tools
Notifications about faults and interruptions in service operations

How the service operates
Solution powered by NSX Advanced Load Balancer (previously — Avi Vantage)
- We deploy GSLB components on the sites where your application servers operate. It allows us to synchronize DNS for implementation of DNS global service.
- When a user addresses the application, a request is sent to customer’s DNS, which forwards it to balancer global DNS on one of the sites.
- Balancer DNS responds to an original customer’s request based on an algorithm and returns a suitable IP.
- This customer’s IP is used to send an HTTP-request to an application on a corresponding site.
- From there Avi Service Engine distributes requests between application servers and returns a response to a customer.
