Currently we are trying to justify the use of a hardware network load balancer for our IIS servers. &nbsp;At this point we have two IIS boxes that are setup with load balancing, but they do not seem to really be load balancing, one of them is doing all of the work.<br />
<br />
We need to justify why to spend the money on the (Coyotes load balancing system) when we can just use what is built in. &nbsp;We need to provide failover (clustering) as well as efficient shared use of system resources (load balancing) &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Can anyone help with this, how easy is it to use IIS 6.0 to get the best of both worlds or would it be easier to justify the $ on the hardware fix?<br />
<br />
thank you

Recommendation on IIS Load Balancing

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.
