Highly available
Baidu Load Balance employs multi-tier disaster recovery design to guarantee enterprise-grade high availability for operation systems:
- Baidu Load Balance (BLB) utilizes proprietary Layer 4/7 Load Balancers to ensure 99.95% service availability through multi-data center and disaster recovery cluster deployments. Baidu Load Balance Dedicated Cluster (LBDC) provides an elevated 99.975% service availability.
- BGP multi-line access spans backbone network nodes of the three major operators, enabling dynamic detection of line latency and packet loss rates, along with automatic rerouting to bypass congested nodes. This ensures fast and stable access across different operators and regions nationwide.
High performance
- BLB performance specifications per instance include support for up to 4 million concurrent connections, 400,000 new connections per second, and 40Gbps bandwidth, making it ideal for various business scenarios such as e-commerce, communities, and gaming.
- The LBDC Layer 4 Load Balancer cluster supports up to 80 million concurrent connections, 12 million new connections per second, and 120Gbps cluster bandwidth per cluster capacity unit (CCU), meeting demands of ultra-large-scale service loads.
Elastic Scaling
- BLB enables seamless scaling and dynamic integration with Baidu Cloud Compute (BCC) instances. It achieves linear service capacity growth through horizontal expansion of computing resources and service upgrades without disruption.
- LBDC offers flexible configuration, supporting CCU specification expansion and upgrades to accommodate the growth needs of ultra-large-scale businesses.
Low cost
- Standardized cloud services are available through OpenAPI and a visual console, eliminating costs associated with hardware procurement, deployment, and operational manpower required for traditional load balancers.
- A comprehensive range of product specifications can be selected based on business demands and characteristics, optimizing total cost of ownership through flexible payment methods.
