Flexible Load Balancing
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Flexible Load Balancing enables customers to distribute web requests across a fleet of servers or automatically route traffic across fault domains, availability domains, or regions—yielding high availability and fault tolerance for any application or data source. The portfolio comprises two services—Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Flexible Load Balancer (OCI Load Balancer) and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Flexible Network Load Balancer (OCI Network Load Balancer).
OCI Flexible Load Balancer primarily manages HTTP/HTTPS traffic and provides advanced routing features that distribute the requests based on the requests’ contents. In contrast, OCI Flexible Network Load Balancer performs at low latency, offering extreme performance.
Managed service provider gains competitive advantage and lowers costs by 30%
Data Intensity realized they could gain cost savings by migrating non-production and disaster recovery environments to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. Their move resulted in 10X faster deployment and a 30% reduction in infrastructure costs. Data Intensity now runs customers' Oracle E-Business Suite workloads on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Compute and Block Volumes, and they leverage Oracle’s highly scalable OCI File Storage for shared file systems during deployments to help optimize capacity consumption.
