Windows Network Load Balancing Dedicated Servers

Network Load Balancer or Clusters that were included in Windows Server OS enabled TCP/IP-based services such as follows:

- Web Services

- Terminal Services

- Virtual Private Networking

- Streaming Media

It basically didn’t require any Hardware Support and distributed IP traffic across cluster hosts which ensures detecting host failures and re-distributes traffic to hosts. It provides control and upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 OS. It delivered high performance and fail-over protection in comparison with other load-balancers.

Financial Transactions, Database access, corporate connections and other functions required more reliability which was offered in Windows NLB. Cluster enabled different servers to manage and operate as a single server increasing availability and management.

Windows 2000 Advanced Server and Data Center Server OS includes cluster technology which also provides fail-over for applications and databases. In terms with NLB, traffic is distributed among multi-node clusters.

Advantages of Network Load balancing servers:

> Network Load Balancer Servers are Scalable based upon the activity it hosts. It always adds more no. of servers when we speak of traffic increase.

> Network Load Balancer Server improves reliability of servers. It detects failure of servers and distributes traffic among servers without interrupting any service.

> It distributes traffic based upon the client’s / Users request.

> In comparison, it’s much better than Round Robin Solutions

> 100% Network Uptime

> Centralized access to all cluster servers

> Cost effective when compared to hardware load-balancing techniques

Installation and Management of Network Load-balancing Dedicated Web Servers:

Network Load Balancer is automatically installed and enabled on the Windows Server 2003 and 2008 Operating System. It’s compatible with Ethernet and network adapters, it doesn’t require any hardware. In a NLB, customer is assigned a IP address which is seen as Virtual IP address which all cluster host respond to. Network Load Balancer load-balances only incoming traffic from all IPs. While configuration of NLB, it’s important that there should be a dedicated IP address, primary IPs and Virtual IP’s in order to enable host TCP/IP to respond to IP addresses. Dedicated IP address is entered first and then virtual IP addresses. Services such as PPTP Server does not allow outgoing connections from a different IP address and cannot be used by dedicated IP.

In a cluster, each host is assigned in range of 1 to 32 where lower no. refers to priority. The default host handles all client traffic for virtual IP addresses. Normally, in this case, if the default host fails, the next priority takes place. Network Load Balancer also customized port rules for range of server ports. It can select either Multiple-host or second hosting load balancing policies. With Multiple-host load balancing, incoming request are distributed among all cluster hosts and load percentage can be specified. In this case, it directs all traffic to most priority server. Rules specified at Ports can block different network access. WHen we speak of port rule multiple-host NLB, one of them is selected in affinity mode and Network Load Balancer client’s traffic from on IP addresses on multiple-cluster hosts. It reduces the load on the servers and increases the response time.

In order to manage client sessions, single-client affinity mode balances network traffic from client’s IP on a single cluster host. Network Load Balancer is configured with single port rule covers all port with multiple-host balancing and single client affinity. It is used for applications.

Network Load Balancer also has remote control program which allows administrators to check status of clusters from cluster host. Network Load Balancer for port rules can be enabled or disabled. New traffic can be blocked on host while TCP connections to complete removing host from cluster. Cluster host can disable remote control.

Applications do not need to be modified for load balancing. It does not directly monitor applications. Network Load Balancer provides application mechanism to monitor cluster. Servers can be removed from the clusters for maintenance without interference with other cluster servers. It also allows custom hardware of software upgrades.

Network Load Balancer scales the performance of server based program. It distributes request among different servers in a cluster. With NLB, each IP packet is received by each host. Cluster host responds to different client requests even multiple request from a single client. Load percentage can be handled with each cluster server and can be set as required depending upon the activity. In case one cluster host fails, the traffic and is re-distributed among other cluster host.

Network Load Balancer uses are fully distributed software architecture. A copy of Network Load Balancer driver runs on each cluster host. Drivers check for all incoming network traffic for cluster IP address. On each cluster host, they act as filter between network adapter drive and TCP/IP stack allowing portion of incoming network traffic. Incoming client request are partitioned and load-balanced among cluster host. Network Load Balancer runs as network driver which is below higher-level application protocol such as HTTP and FTP.

Network Load Balancer  can also run as drive between TCP/IP protocol and network adapter drivers within Windows protocol. It maximizes throughput by broadcasting subnet to deliver incoming network traffic to cluster host and removers requirement to route incoming packers to individual cluster host. Filtering packets that are not required can be easily be removed than routed packages, it delivers higher Network Load Balancer throughput than any other solution. As network and speed improve, it improves accordingly and reduces dependencies on hardware. It’s availability in fail-over is another advantage.

Network Load Balancer takes advantage of subnet / switch hub to deliver network traffic to cluster host. It increases the load on switches by accessing additional port bandwidth. However, this is not the concern in many applications. Client-side network switch connections are faster than server-side connection. During packet receiving, Network Load Balancer implements delivery of incoming packages to TCP/IP and receiving other packets by Network adapter driver. It means it will speed up all the processes and reduces latency. In many cases, it removes packet data in memory.

Network Load Balancer uses layer-two broadcast or multi-cast to distribute incoming traffic to cluster host. Network Load Balancer re-assigns MAC address of network adapter for which it is enabled. And cluster host assigned the same MAC address. Incoming traffic received by cluster host and Network Load Balancer driver for filtering. MAC address is taken from cluster IP address in the Network Load Balancer properties.

Cluster host that is attached to switch, it might create MAC address conflict due to layer-two switches to see unique MAC address on all switch ports. In order to avoid these problems, Network Load Balancer modifies MAC address for outgoing packages. This prevents switch from learning the cluster’s MAC address and incoming packets for cluster are delivered to all switch ports. Cluster host connected to hub, Network Load Balancer masking for MAC address in Unicast disables to avoid flooding upstream switches. This is done by setting Network Load Balancer registry parameters MaskSourceMAC to 0.

Network Load Balancer unicast mode has a disadvantage of communication disabling between cluster hosts through cluster adapters. Outgoing packets for cluster host are sent to sender’s MAC address, packages are looped within sender by network stack and they do not reach the wire.

Communication between cluster hosts and host outside the cluster is never affected by NLB’s unicast mode. Traffic for all static IP address are received by cluster host due to the same MAC address. Network Load Balancer doesn’t load balance traffic for the IP address, Network Load Balancer deliver the traffic to TCP/IP on host.

With other cluster host, Load balancing Servers checks it’s traffic as load balanced traffic and deliver to TCP/IP. Network Load Balancing also has another mode by distributing incoming traffic to cluster hosts which is called multi-cast mode. Network Load Balancer – Unicast also increases switch flooding by delivering incoming network traffic to cluster hosts, however this is not the case with multi-cast mode. Network Load balancing have Address Resolution Protocol which is required for the cluster’s main IP and virtual IP address resolving to cluster multi-cast MAC address. Network Load Balancing does not include management of incoming IP traffic other than TCP traffic, UDP traffic, Generic routing encapsulation traffic for each port.

How to Create VPS’s on a dedicated server ?

If you are looking to create VPS Hosting packages on a dedicated server and resell them to your clients. BODHost is just the right place for you. We can assist you with complete creation of VPS’s on a dedicated server along with complete management techniques, additional licensing involved and much more. The first step to Setup a Dedicated Server Node is that you need to figure out as to how many VPS’s will you setup on a dedicated server along with calculation of your dedicated server profit. You can select a dedicated server from the following link :

Dedicated Server Hosting Node

Following is the calculation :

If your dedicated server costs : $200.00USD Per Month

You can create 20 VPS’s on it and price it at $30.00USD Per Month. So that means

20 VPS’s x $30USD Per Month = $600.00USD Per Month

Now, the next procedure is to opt for a Virtualization Software. If you opt for OpenVZ, there will be no licensing cost. However, if you opt for Virtuozzo Power Panel, following is the VPS licensing structure :

VZ 1VE   license    = $15.00USD/month

VZ 3VE   license    = $30.00USD/month

VZ 5VE   license    = $40.00USD/month

VZ 10VE license    = $50.00USD/month

VZ 20VE license    = $70.00USD/month

VZ 30VE license    = $90.00USD/month

VZ 40VE license    = $110.00USD/month

VZ 50VE license    = $130.00USD/month

VZ 60VE license    = $150.00USD/month

VZ 70VE license    = $160.00USD/month

VZ 80VE license    = $170.00USD/month

VZ 90VE license    = $180.00USD/month

VZ 100VE license    = $190.00USD/month

VZMC    $90.00USD/month

VZCC    $30.00USD/month

Now, for e.g. if you need to setup 20 VPS’s, you will need a 20 VE licenses. That means,

$200.00USD + $70.00USD = $270.00USD Per Month

And you will also need VZMC installed on the Server in order to manage your VPS’s.

Now, next is we need to think over the installation of cPanel or Plesk or any other control panel on each VPS. You will need to install cPanel or Plesk on each VPS as per your client’s requirements.

Following are the pricing structure of cPanel and Plesk for each VPS :

Plesk 10 Domains : $3.00USD Per Month

Plesk 30 Domains : $5.00USD Per Month

Plesk 100 Domains : $10.00USD Per Month

Plesk 300 Domains : $15.00USD Per Month

Plesk Unlimited Domains : $20.00USD Per Month

cPanel ( WHM ) : $8.00USD Per Month

Fantastico Deluxe – Installation with cPanel : $4.00USD Per Month

Rvskin License / Installation with cPanel : $30.00USD/Year Per VPS

RVSiteBuilder Pro : $10.00USD/Per Month Per VPS

RVSiteBuilder Lite : $6.00USD/Per Month Per VPS

Other Control Panels :

Webmin : Free!

LXAdmin : $4.00USD Per Month Per VPS

Billing System installation and management  :

You will need a Billing System such as WHMCS Or Modenbill – Type of billing account for management of the billing account. We suggest that you should consider WHMCS Automated Billing System for which the pricing are as follows :

WHMCS Automated Billing Software :

Monthly Price (Powered By Line in Client Area): $19.00USDP/M

Monthly Price (None): $29.00USDP/M

Owned License (Powered By Line in Client Area): $299.00 (One-Time)

Owned License (None): $399.00USD

Will BODHost Offer a Complete Hosting Turn-Key Solution ?

Ans. The answer is Yes. We will completely take care of the installation of Virtualization software installations, cPanel – Plesk installations, Installation of WHMCS – Billing System and also Fully Managed Solutions for the dedicated server hosting services.

Load balancing dedicated servers offer many features when compared to a dedicated server. Some of them are as follows :

- Asymmetric load : load can be shared with the back-end dedicated server servers. This way, it improves performance on the front-end servers.

- Immediate Activation : In case of failure, the back-end server can immediately brought online.

- SSL Load Management : SSL connections can be managed through load balancing hardware.

- Protection against DDoS : SYN cookies and delayed binds. They can work offline and protects from DDoS counter attacks.

- Compression of HTTP : gzip on web browser to reduce load on the data transfer.

- TCP Offloading / buffer : Every HTTP request has different TCP Connection. It can serve every client that reaches the sever and takes care of every task.

- Caching of HTTP : It can store the data that are static, it reduces the load on the dedicated web server and does not need to retrieve the data everytime.

- Filtering : Traffic management and filtering.

- Security on HTTP : It can hide HTTP error page, remove HTTP response and cookie encryptions in order to maintain high security on servers.

- Priority Que : Differentiating between decent traffic and bad traffic.

- Request Switch : Requests can be sent to different load balancing servers as per URL that is requested.

- Authentication from client : Authentication for clients to access the website.

- Firewall : Un-secured connection to the load balancing servers are prevented and not allowed. This ensures security on the dedicated server.

Load-balancing dedicated servers with affordable prices are the best solutions to remain online always!

Load balancing dedicated server Hosting are one of the most advanced web server solutions used these days as the requirements of client’s are at inclination and in order to manage the requirements, it is important to setup a specification where every activity on the server is distributed accordingly and load has been managed. There are many of load-balancing. Hardware Setup of load-balancing is much costlier when compared to a software load-balancing setup.

Following are few of the ways of setup :

Round Robin DNS Load Balancing dedicated server :

It is basically DNS binded server that load-balances multiple dedicated web servers. This is normally known to be used for group of clusters. Some of the main advantages is that is very simple and can easily be implemented.

The only disadvantage is that the DNS server does not know if any server goes down. It knows only the difference of the IP and does not know by server port. The IP can be cached by others and request will not be forwarded to the other server.

Hardware Load-balancing dedicated server :

Hardware load-balancers route TCP/IP packet to different servers in a cluster. They are highly-reliable but with a cost. It used network gatewat to route traffic. The only disadvantage is that it is cheaper to software versions.

Software Load-balancing dedicated server :

These days, software load balancing dedicated servers are normally used which are integrated with web servers and application servers. They are much cheaper when compared to a hardware load-balancer and can easily be configured as per requirements. Unlike, Round-Robin, it can easily route based on different parameters. It requires additional hardware for complete setup of load-balancer.

If there is only one dedicated web server that responds to HTTP request on the website, the load on that web server increases and cannot handle high volume of incoming traffic. This is normally the case once the website received large number of traffic. This hinders the performance of the website and all requests are in que until all are processed. It is important that we upgrade the dedicated server hosting package to a
load balancing dedicated server configuration.

The load needs to be distributed among various servers to improve the performance of the server and maintain 100% Uptime on the server. This applies to application as well as database server. In this case, we will consider HTTP request that uses the feature known as IP spraying or rather also called as load / network dispatcher. It checks each HTTP request and redirects to the server or the cluster of servers. It is also used for fail-over dedicated server specifications.

Exchange Servers started in 1993 and outgrown since then. It was built in XENIX which is a version of Linux Operating System licensed by Microsoft from AT&T in the 70’s. to exchange server in April 1993.

The users were around 500 in Exchange server in Jan 1995 which then increased to 32000 in 1996. It was then migrated to beta version and the next version was brought in the market.

The Exchange Server 4.0 was released in 1996 and officially sold to public and was to upgrae Microsoft Mail 3.5. It was utilized by 400 client server mails with one database and 500 directories. Following release version was 5.0 which was released in 1997 introduces Administrator console integrated to SMTP-based networks. It also had an add-on feature known as Intenet Mail connecter which could directly communicate with server.

Exchange Server 5.5 was then released in 1997 which came in two versions, Standard and Enterprise. There were many differences in storage limit, mail transport connectors and had the ability of cluster servers.

Exchange Server 2000 edition was released in 2000 which many improvements and it’s limitations were reduced compared to Exchange Server 5.5. It supported more than one cluster and increased it’s supported database. Instant messaging support was also includes and the version includes Microsoft Acive directory which was unavailable in the previous version. The era was then supported by Exchange Server 2007 which was released in 2003. It was supported on Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003. This allowed easy upgration from one operating sytem to another. This was mainly used by major organizations which could not afford downtime caused due to dedicated server migrations.

It main feature includes disaster recovery which allowed administrators to bring servers online faster by sending / receiving emails and recovering them from backups. It also provided anti-virus and anti-spam.

This was introduced in two versions such as standard and enterprise. The standard version allowed 75GB of database storage whereas Enterprise edition allowed 16TB and 4 storage group with 5 databases per group. However, it was only compatible with 32 bit version and not install on 64-bit windows server 2003.

The lastest version is Exchange Server 2007 which was in the beta version in 2006. It can run on 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Dedicated Servers. The performance has been improved with this version when compared to Exchange Server 2003.

Exchange server 2007 also introduces features such as voice-mail, filter options, web service support, Outlook Web Access new interface.

Sub-domain management is very much similar to main domain name configuration. The main difference is that it is attached to the main domain name. Request for subdomain is routed to DNS server which has DNS information for the main domain. Sub-domain DNS records resolved to a IP address, the rquest is sent to the web server that is assigned with the IP address. the request can now be moved to the website. By many DNS server entries, subdomain configuration can be taken care of and application setup for management of load or applications.

DNS server should have pointer to the sub domain as CNAME or hostname or MX entry for emails. If the IP address of the main domain name and sub-domain name are the same, we then use CNAME or alias. A records are used if the IP points to the different dedicated server in case of load balancing server setup.

CNAME is used when the IP address of the sub-domain and the main domain are the same. It means the parent domain and child-domain points to the same IP address such as :

www IN CNAME domain.com.
subdomain1 IN CNAME domain.com.
subdomain2 IN CNAME domain.com.

A record is setup when the main domain is different from the sub-domain. This is in case of a load balancing or server cluster setup such as :

subdomain1 IN A 123.2.33.45.
subdomain2 IN A 123.2.33.46.

MX records are mail exchanger sub-domains in case of email setup that will be pointing to the dedicated web server IP address and used for different email account such as :

subdomain1 IN MX 10 subdomain1.domain.com.
subdomain2 IN MX 10 subdomain2.domain.com.

If the sub-domain is configured on a different DNS name server, nameserver records is created for the sub-domain. Different nameservers can reduce security issues.

DNS Server sends the request for the sub-domain to the IP address, it starts functioning. It then needs to be configured to manage the request based on the IP address / Host headers. It is utilized by web servers to host different domains / sub-domain on one IP address.

In a Windows dedicated server, we have to use IIS manager to add sub-domains that will be assigned to IP address. Port is then set to 80. Host header can be added by clicking on advanced tab nect to IP address configuration for website application. Sub-domain that points to sub-directory of website which is then home directory for the sub-domain.

In a Linux dedicated server, we use Apache web server which is configured by virtual host entry in httpf.conf :

Listen 80
NameVirtualHost *

ServerName www.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs/

ServerName subdomain.domain.com
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/htdocs/subdomain/

VPS Hosting are just an next step to shared hosting packages and which are not really expensive such as a dedicated server. The features that are provided by VPS Servers are more or less like a dedicated server. no shared hosting packages provide full root access on Linux VPS’s or administrator access for Windows VPS Hosting packages. Customization are much more feasible when it comes to a VPS and it also allows third-party applications.

Much better performance when compared to any shared or reseller hosting packages. You will be able to host in a custom environment. However, in most cases good amount of knowledge is required in order to host a VPS. If you have a fully managed VPS, that would do much help and also assist you with major operations.

Also, be assured that you need more information on the VPS in order to host it. Best way is to gain as much knowledge from the host as possible. At the time of signup, please make sure you select the right options in order to meet your requirements. Wise selection of hosting package are always good for your pocket. Once you are aware of the vps you need to signup, please make sure the hosting provider can install it for you. You should not host any application or software that can likely over-load the VPS at the end of the day.

Complete isolated environment and indivualism is maintained on a vps at any point of time. Bodhost provides fully managed VPS Hosting package which are monitored 24×7 round the clock. For more information, please have a look at this link VPS Hosting
