Good afternoon,
For a customer I'm looking for a hardware-based load balancer,
or an ISP owning and renting this kind of HW.
There would be about N webservers (N=2 at the moment, but should
grow to 4-5) running a php application, and the http (and https)
requests from a single client should always be redirected to the
same webserver (for some session management reasons etc.), unless
the webserver is down for maintenance of course.
I already suggested to do that with a software-based LB (with pound
for example), but the customer would still like to have some offers
from HW-based solutions, so that's why I'm asking here.
You're welcome to forward this request to your own company commercials,
if you have some :) The whole needs a 1/3 rack, if possible in
Zürich, and bandwith is currently of 3Mbit, with peaks during
November/December (10-15Mbit then).
Thanks in advance for any pointer/suggestion :)
regards,
Olivier
