Description
Server Load Balancing (SLB) and Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) allow services to scale and be highly functional by distributing power-drawing services across multiple servers, so that load does not slow down the experience of these services for customers.

More Info
By utilizing SLB and/or GSLB server admins may be able to achieve HA or possibly DR requirements. For example, a service with multiple servers can be upgraded one server at a time with no impact to end users. SLB provides capability for services to scale across multiple servers while providing a single hostname for end user connectivity.
