Why You Should Choose a Software-Based Load Balancer

Features and functionality are meaningless if applications can’t perform. For companies still relying on hardware‑based application delivery controllers (ADCs) or load balancers, application performance and scalability can be a serious issue. As a result, the IT world is rapidly moving away from dedicated hardware solutions and toward software and virtualization in all areas.

Why hardware appliances are constantly overprovisioned and how software prevents this

How turning on Layer 7 features with hardware load balancers significantly reduces performance
