Lightweight Virtual Load Balancers Briefing

1 hour
In this briefing, we discuss the most common solutions and capabilities available in today's software ADC (application delivery controller) market. As companies embark on their digital transformation journey, software-based load balancers quickly become a topic of discussion to replace the dependable bare metal load balancing solutions of the past. Modernized lightweight virtual load balancers bring agility and speed to infrastructure teams, enabling them to adapt to DevOps and increasing business demands around application security. WWT will offer insight on the best use cases for each solution and can even discuss where a combination of multi-OEM solutions may be the ideal. Our goal is to have a vendor-agnostic discussion; however, we can also focus your briefing on specific products and ecosystems.
