Adding load balancers and the content delivery network to supplement your Cloud Server resources will help ensure maximum availability and web application performance for every user. Here's how the two services work in tandem:

• Load balancers evaluates the processor, memory, and hard drive resources of your Cloud Servers and offloads excess traffic to an appliance built specifically for handling excessive inbound traffic.
• CDN serves large and small media files like CSS, Flash, Images, Movies, etc from multiple, locations around the world so visitors pull content from a point of presence (POP) closest to their IP. Off loading these bulky files reserves your Cloud Server resources website traffic.

*If hardware redundancy for maximum uptime is a requirement, speak with one of our secure hosting experts about how a high availability configuration can benefit you.
