What is Load Balancing?

The process of distributing requests across multiple nodes, to more efficiently handle the overall load. Load balancing can optimize the response time for each request. Sitefinity can run in a load balanced environment, commonly referred to as web farm, to improve the performance and availability of application. The main components of a load-balanced setup are the load balancer and multiple server nodes that are hosting an application. The load balancer’s main task is to dynamically decide which node processes the incoming requests.
