When the number, intricacy, and value of applications grow, so just how they are delivered. Users demand ever-increasingly faster results, and this is unlikely to drop. Hardware ADCs are one of the last relics of an era of data center architecture built to serve this app-centric culture. They hinder efficiency and impede developers from creating and producing performance-optimized apps. Let’s look at the five reasons to switch to software load balancing.
Reason 1: Simple and fast deployment
If you've gone through the trouble of implementing virtual and cloud systems for application creation and execution, the software will help you get the most out of such platforms in ways that hardware cannot. Unlike legacy hardware ADCs, device ADCs are built from the ground up to be deployed anywhere. They integrate seamlessly into the cloud and virtual worlds, thanks to access APIs that enable integration with several of the computing and virtualization tools you already use. The procedure is simple: download, configure and analyze — without the danger associated with expensive hardware transactions and complicated setups.
Reason 2: Cloud-Native Applications
Modern applications are designed to operate in either a cloud network or a data center using hardware that can run on virtual machines, bare-metal servers, or containers. These features are mirrored by software load balancers, which are the only feasible microservices and container-based applications. Large multinational companies are increasing their use of software load balancers to meet the demands of both standard and cloud-native applications.
Reason 3: Easier maintenance
One of the primary explanations that a device load balancer is preferable to a hardware-based application delivery controller is this. In reality, with legacy load balancers, efficiency is often a severe problem. You may use app load balancers to operate everywhere and perform any required updates or maintenance from a range of devices, like a PC, laptop, or even a mobile.
Reason 4: Hybrid cloud applications
Software load balancers have a coherent service delivery architecture across diverse cloud settings in hybrid cloud applications. It removes the need to re-architect software while moving to or from the cloud.
Reason 5: Cost-effective
Deploying software is much less costly than purchasing new hardware any time a transition is introduced. It's a DevOps-friendly way of doing things; replacing hardware with load balancing software removes silos between DevOps and the rest of a company's divisions. It places application management in the care of those who are ideally suited to do it. Furthermore, you may perform the repair at any time and from any place.
