How It Works
Purchase Your Cloud Load Balancer
If you don't have a Rackspace Cloud account, go to the Order Now page and sign up for an account. Once you
have a Rackspace Cloud account, use the "Create Load Balancer" API operation or the "add load balancer"
feature in the cloud control panel.
Configure Your Cloud Load Balancer
Using our online control panel and API, define name, protocol, port, algorithm, and which servers you need
load balanced.
Your Cloud Load Balancer is Online in Just a Few Minutes
Each cloud load balancer can be customized or removed as your needs change. You can even manage your Cloud
Load Balancers on-the-go via your iPhone®, iPad®, iPod® touch and Android.
Choice
Choose the servers you want to load balance—Rackspace Cloud Servers, Cloud Databases, servers in your data centers, or other servers you have access to.
Innovation
The Rackspace Cloud Load Balancers team is constantly innovating and offering new features. Recent feature releases include: SSL termination at the load balancer, session persistence across all protocols, advanced node health monitoring and failover protection, and DDoS protection. Our Cloud Load Balancers code is open source and benefits from the contributions of a community of developers.
"With Rackspace Cloud Load Balancing, we get a failover solution without a lot of effort and expense. Our Rackspace Cloud Load Balancer really saves us in terms of the number of machines that we have to manage—and it's all based on technology I know is solid. Better quality software, more redundancy, less work on our end, a solution we and our customers can depend on, all for a low cost? It was an easy choice for us."
"Our sites get about a million hits a day, so load balancing is vital to keeping our business up and running. With Rackspace Cloud Load Balancers, we know we have a reliable platform, and it's a big cost savings, too. The load balancers are definitely handling a lot—we've had no problems, and they're scaling beyond what we can imagine."
