I was recently tasked with evaluating Content Sensitive Switching/Load Balancing solution for a client’s PeopleSoft infrastructure. The client is upgrading its current Peopletools 8.3 to 8.9 (HCM). As part of the upgrade, there has been expressed desire by management to build a fault-tolerant architecture. The growing need to increase availability requires building redundancy across every tier of the architecture. Deploying a solution that meets that goal requires a good understanding of Load balancing architecture and algorithms, and most importantly PeopleSoft Weblogic hardware requirements for load balancing. The dynamics of Load balancing a.k.a Content Sensitive Switching a.k.a Application Switching is to present a Virtual IP (VIP) address to end-users that send incoming requests to one or more back-end web servers. Traffics are then re-routed by a pre-defined algorithm (round robin) to these back-end web servers.
