Introduction

senhasegura has a self-made load balancer to interface all senhasegura instances running into cluster schema. The senhasegura Load-balancer is a ready-to-deploy and ready-to-use solution configured to give the best performance over senhasegura functionalities.

Technical information

It will use the same SSL certificate installed in senhasegura instances. There is no need to install a particular SSL certificate for the load balancer.

As it is a tailor-made product for balancing the senhasegura, the senhasegura Load-balancer has a very specific optimization and should not be used to balance other applications. Therefore, we do not offer the option of changing the customer's balancing and/or monitoring methods. It uses the least connection algorithm for balancing mode.

Example Load-balancer architecture

 

Using senhasegura Load-balancer, you can also decide which service should be balanced. A company that uses SSH connections more than the other proxies can isolate dedicated instances for better performance.
