FortiGSLB efficiently and securely provides applications across various locations. A crucial aspect of designing and implementing internet-driven services for both enterprise and carrier networks is horizontal scalability. Organizations need the capability to swiftly and conveniently incorporate additional network resources and launch cloud-based applications to maintain business continuity and facilitate effective disaster recovery in case of server or data center failures. However, unreliable internet connectivity or security can hinder these initiatives significantly. Lacking such adaptability often compels businesses to invest in larger and more powerful hardware solutions to tackle capacity issues, resulting in higher expenses and an increase in total cost of ownership (TCO) without effectively solving problems related to failover and service availability. Ultimately, finding a balance between performance and cost efficiency remains critical for organizations striving to meet growing demands.
