Global Performance. Local Speed. Zero Drama.

Global Server Load Balancing

Distribute traffic smartly across global locations, ensure uptime, and keep your applications blazing fast, no matter where your users are.

Global Server Load Balancing Architecture

Your applications are distributed. Your traffic decisions need to be too.

Running applications across multiple data centers, clouds or regions improves resilience but it creates another problem: deciding where every user should go.  A failed data center shouldn’t mean application downtime. A cloud outage shouldn’t require someone to manually change DNS. And users shouldn’t be sent halfway around the world when a faster, healthier application instance is available closer to them.  Global Server Load Balancing gives you an intelligent traffic control layer across your infrastructure.

Keep applications available.

Why Global Server Load Balancing?

There are plenty of ways to distribute traffic globally. Total Uptime edgeGSLB is designed for organizations that want sophisticated global traffic management while keeping the application delivery infrastructure under their control.

Global High Availability

Ultra-Low Latency

Automatic Failover

Hybrid & Multi-Cloud Ready

Intelligent DNS Routing

Smart Routing. Simple Control.

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) is typically used to provide data center failover or to enhance end user performance by directing users to their closest data centers using geolocation. GSLB is a DNS based system that manipulates the DNS response based on the availability and performance profile of the data centers.

Resiliency and Disaster Recovery:

 

 Run two data centers in an Active-Passive architecture so that if one data center fails, traffic will be sent to the other.

Load Balancing and Geo-Location:

 

Distribute traffic between multiple data centers in an Active-Active architecture based on specific criteria including: fixed weight, round robin, data center health check, geo-location of the client etc.

The World Is Big. Your Application Should Feel Local.

Power Features. Zero Headaches.

Health Monitoring

Real-time checks for server availability, latency, and response time.

Customizable Routing

Geo-location, latency, or capacity-based routing algorithms.

Disaster Recovery

Automatic failover to secondary locations when issues occur.

Multi-Cloud Compatible

Fully compatible with AWS, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and hybrid setups.

Intuitive GUI

Fully visual configuration and monitoring — no scripting required.

Reporting & Analytics

Deep insights into traffic patterns and global performance.

GSLB provides Multi data center, Multi-cloud, and Hybrid cloud Load Balancing and Fail over.

Distribute data and users between multiple data centers and clouds to deliver fast, scalable and resilient applications regardless of location. Implement load balancing and fail over policies based on several criteria, including advanced health checks and user geo-location.

GSLB

Your apps might live around the world,

but with Total Uptime GSLB, they’re always just next door.

Why Do I Need Global Server Load Balancing?

Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) gives you ultimate control in your application delivery service. Ensure that users from certain geographic locations are sent to the right data center. Ensure that different content is served (or blocked) to different users, depending on several criteria such as the country that the client is in, the resource they are requesting, the language, etc.

The GSLB solution runs as an integrated, containerised application on the Total Uptime load balancer in a secure environment. Global Server Load Balancing has traditionally been complex to setup and configure but Total Uptime simplifies this, offering an easy-to-use, intuitive GUI.

The Total Uptime Global Server Load Balancer container for Docker can be downloaded from the Total Uptime App Store.
