Data center resiliency

The Edgenexus GSLB Global Server load Balancer can load balance client connections to the datacenter using multiple methods such as:

Geolocation – load balance to the closest Datacenter. This can also be used for custom defined networks and locations
Active-Active/ Active- Passive – Spread the load across the data centers based on number of connections or some other health check. Alternatively send all clients to one Data center unless its down (or not meeting health check requirements) in which case sent it to the other data center
