Leveraging Your Network Footprint
The path to gaining visibility and insight into an application and its underlying network has been a long standing requirement for enterprises. As a result, there have been a number of players in the application performance management space and their corresponding market size has grown considerably over the years. It's not rocket science - knowing what's happening to your applications carries both operational as well ...
Load Balancing TFTP – Anything But Trivial
BackgroundIn order for Provisioning Server (PVS) to boot a target device, a "bootstrap file" needs to be made available when the device is turned on. The bootstrap file in this case is called "ARDBP32.BIN" (the Ardence Boot Program...gotta love our roots!). This bootstrap file contains the information needed to communicate with PVS so it can initialize the streaming process and ultimately mount the vDisk. The ...
Load Balancing – Slow Start
Preventing overloadWhen you configure a NetScaler to use a metric-based load balancing method such as Least Connections, Least Response Time, Least Bandwidth, Least Packets, or Custom Load, the load balancing method will initially start out as Round Robin for what is called a slow start period.NetScaler appliances use the configured load balancing method to determine the appropriate service for forwarding an incoming request. Load ...
Changing the Load Balancing Algorithm
or Load Balancing MethodThe load balancing algorithm (or load balancing method) defines the criteria that the NetScaler uses to select the server to which to send client requests. When the configured criteria are met for the selected server, the NetScaler then selects a different server. Load balancing granularity refers to the criteria that the NetScaler uses to decide the load balancing method in a ...
Imagine a world without bridges… Cloud computing is not much different!
So I was driving to work this morning and got thinking: each morning we get into a car, drive down a street, a highway or in some cases take public transportation. At some point in your commute there is a river or you need to pass over another road and at this point, imagine the world without bridges. If there were no bridges, you cannot ...
Load Balancing – Poll
Take the Load Balancing Algorithm Poll...The load balancing algorithm (or load balancing method) defines the criteria that the NetScaler uses to select the server to which to send client requests.When the configured criteria are met for the selected server, the NetScaler then selects a different server.The different Load Balancing Algorithms available are:Least Connections Method (default) Round Robin Least Response Time Hash Method Least Bandwidth Method Least Packets Method Token ...
Load Balancing – Weights
Fine Tuning Load Balancing with WeightsThe load balancing algorithm (or load balancing method) defines the criteria that the NetScaler uses to select the server to which to send client requests. When the configured criteria are met for the selected server, the NetScaler then selects a different server.The least connections method selects the server with the least number of active connections to ensure that ...
Load Balancing – Least Packets
Load balancing uses a number of algorithms, called load balancing methods, to determine how to distribute the load among the servers. When a Load balancer is configured to use the least packets method, it selects the service with the least number transmitted and received packets.Least Packets Load balancing allows you to distribute client requests across multiple servers to optimize resource utilization. Load balancers ...
Everything You Always Wanted to Know about XenMotion
I met with group of consultants and sales people for a large systems integrator a few weeks ago to discuss server virtualization with Citrix XenServer. During the discussion, someone asked for a demonstration on XenMotion. Unfortunately I did not have the hardware with me at the time needed (two XenServer hosts) to show a demonstration of live migration of virtual machines with XenMotion. After that ...
