What is Database Load Balancing?
Basically, load balancing enhances the distribution of workloads to different computing resources, like computers, computer cluster, network links, CPUs, or disk drives. The main objective of Load balancing is to best optimize use of resources, increases throughput, lessen the response time, and ignore the overload of any resource. By using different elements with load balancing rather than just a single element might enhance the reliability and availability by redundancy. Load balancing includes dedicated software or hardware, or Domain Name System server process.
