• The NiFRA layer 7 Load Balancer is complete solution for load balancing to provide a high availability for TCP and UDP services and data line communications, targeted to become a professional open source product in networking for distributed systems.
• NiFRA Layer 7 LB isn’t a gateway or firewall, it’s just a load balancer manager with advanced functions to be integrated and consolidated within production services.
• NiFRA Layer 7 LB has been successfully deployed in IT service providers around the world providing HA over SMTP, LDAP, IMAP, RDP, HTTP, HTTPS and DNS.

Advanced Layer 7 load balancing:

Layer-7 load balancing, also known as application-level load balancing, is to parse requests in application layer and distribute requests to servers based on different types of request contents, so that it can provide quality of service requirements for different types of contents and improve overall cluster performance.

Balance TCP or UDP services:
