Equalizer add-on software that supports geographic clustering and load
balancing. See geographic cluster, geographic load balancing, and load

An Equalizer window with which you can monitor Equalizer's operation; view
statistics; add, modify, or clusters; add, modify, and delete servers; and shut

An Equalizer feature that enables you to configure Equalizer, set parameters,

A network interface used to connect Equalizer to the external network. See
interface, internal interface, and network interface.
The subnet to which the client machines and possibly the Internet or an
intranet are connected.
The act of transferring operations from a failing component to a backup

A network route that typically translates information between two different
protocols.
A collection of servers (such as Web sites) that provide a common service
over different physical locations. See cluster.
Distributing requests as equally as possible across servers in different
physical locations. See load balancing. See also intelligent load balancing.
A query sent to a site in a geographic cluster to gather information so
Equalizer can determine the site that is best able to process a pending
request. See geographic cluster.
One or more lines of data that identify the beginning of a block of information
or a file.
Configuring a second Equalizer as a backup unit that will take over in case of
failure. Also known as a hot spare. See backup Equalizer. See also primary
