There are two key reasons why local load balancing is a must: Reason #1: To achieve high availability that's sustainable as you grow.

- Reason #1: Your company is growing and you're adding more seats. ...
- Reason #2: The number of network users isn't growing but traffic is. ...
- Reason #3: You need to balancing load across globally-distributed servers -- that is, perform global server load balancing (GSLB)
