Cloud Load Balancing from Lumen uses a multi-tenant, scalable and programmable infrastructure presented to the customer as a service.

Self-Service Shared Load Balancers

Create cloud load balancer configurations that use either “least connection” or “round robin” routing policies, and either standard or sticky persistence.

Use Cases

Improved Fault Tolerance

Cloud load balancing helps keep applications online and traffic flowing, even if some resources aren’t available. Dynamically re-route incoming traffic to the resources that are online, reducing the likelihood of a poor user experience and extended downtime.

User Convenience & Better Performance

Web applications usually need to scale up over time. With load balancing from Lumen, you can easily scale to support more users, while providing a single URL backed by multiple servers. In addition, SSL offloading can be performed to accelerate processing.

Cost Savings

Developers don’t always know the demands of their workloads or are constantly changing design to further optimize. With a Lumen load balancer on your network, the load balancer infrastructure can scale in seconds when needed to ensure application performance stays where you want it and you only pay for what you need.

Speed to Market

With the current pace of business, speed to market can dictate success or failure. The speed to deliver your application to the end user is critical. With a load balancer on Lumen Cloud, you can create infrastructure that can scale to meet the needs of your application when you need it most.
