Chapter 6 Configuring Real Servers and Server Farms
Server Load Balancing Overview
configuration, the cache servers continue to work even if the active ACE appliance switches over to
the standby ACE appliance. For information about configuring redundancy, see Configuring High
Availability, page 11-1.
Least Bandwidth—Selects the server with the least amount of network traffic or a specified
sampling period. Use this type for server farms with heavy traffic, such as downloading video clips.
Least Connections—Selects the server with the fewest number of active connections based on server
weight. For the least connection predictor, you can configure a slow-start mechanism to avoid
sending a high rate of new connections to servers that you have just put into service.
Least Loaded—Selects the server with the lowest load as determined by information from SNMP
probes.
Response—Selects the server with the lowest response time for a specific response-time
measurement.
Round Robin—Selects the next server in the list of real servers based on server weight (weighted
roundrobin). Servers with a higher weight value receive a higher percentage of the connections. This
is the default predictor.
Note The different hash predictor methods do not recognize the weight value that you configure for real
servers. The ACE uses the weight that you assign to real servers only in the round-robin and
least-connections predictor methods.

Real Servers
To provide services to clients, you configure real servers on the ACE appliance. Real servers are
dedicated physical servers or VMware virtual machines (VMs) that you configure in groups called server
farms.
Note VMs that you define as real servers are VMs that the ACE recognizes when configured for Dynamic
Workload Scaling (see the “Configuring Dynamic Workload Scaling” section on page 6-14).
These servers provide client services such as HTTP or XML content, website hosting, FTP file uploads
or downloads, redirection for web pages that have moved to another location, and so on. You identify
real servers with names and characterize them with IP addresses, connection limits, and weight values.
The ACE appliance also allows you to configure backup servers in case a server is taken out of service
for any reason.
After you create and name a real server on the ACE appliance, you can configure several parameters,
including connection limits, health probes, and weight. You can assign a weight to each real server based
on its relative importance to other servers in the server farm. The ACE appliance uses the server weight
value for the weighted round-robin and the least-connections load-balancing predictors. The
load-balancing predictor algorithms (for example, round-robin, least connections, and so on) determine
the servers to which the ACE appliance sends connection requests. For a listing and brief description of
the load-balancing predictors, see Load-Balancing Predictors, page 6-2.
