It is imperative to know if all your servers are operating in full health. Unless you monitor the server pool it is impossible to know what their status is, meaning you could be forwarding large amounts of traffic to a server that is not operational.

Circumstances leading to server failure

Hardware or OS failure
Scheduled downtime for Server maintenance
Server is saturated with excess load


How do jetNEXUS ADC Devices overcome server failures?

The jetNEXUS ADC devices perform a series of server health checks, from simple ping and TCP tests to full web GETs, to ensure every server is performing as it should be. jetNEXUS continually monitors the health of back-end servers and failed servers are automatically detected and removed from the cluster until they recover. So if a server goes down, jetNEXUS load balancers will seamlessly redirect traffic to a healthy server without causing any disruption to the availability of your online platform or service.

This type of health monitoring is essential for high availability and key to providing a reliable and resilient service platform.
