What is the main goal of load balancing across multiple servers?

To encrypt all data transmitted between client and server

To ensure all servers have identical data at all times

To distribute incoming traffic so no single server becomes overwhelmed

To provide a single point of failure for the application

An organization wants to ensure that a critical application remains available if its primary server fails. The application requires a shared disk for data. The administrator plans to implement a failover cluster. What is a REQUIRED component for this implementation?

A public IP address for each node

Shared storage accessible by all cluster nodes

A load balancer in front of the cluster

Identical hardware on all nodes

An organization has a critical application that must be available 24/7. They have a budget for only two servers. They need to ensure that if one server fails, the application is still available. They also want to minimize the risk of data loss. Which solution BEST meets these requirements?

Implement a failover cluster with shared storage

Implement a load balancer with two servers

Use a single server with redundant power supplies and RAID

Implement database replication between the two servers

Which configuration setting on a load balancer is used to ensure that a client's session is always directed to the same backend server?

Session persistence (sticky sessions)
