Load balancing when growing a system from one to multiple streaming servers
-
High Availability for streaming services, by detecting failed streaming server nodes and redirecting incoming load to working nodes.
-
Performing geographical-based balancing
-
Deploying a content delivery network, where VoDKA Balancer acts as an entry point for the CDN.
