Hardware Load Balancer and Snap Centre

amayacitta — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 12:21:29 GMT

Hi guys,

It was possible to deploy older versions of snap centre with a hardware load balancer, using GSLB (global server load balancing), this allowed us to span an installations across geographical sites. For some enterprises this is a required feature. Do you know if there is any support for a hardware load balancer in 4.1.1 or a future release?

Currently support seems to be capped at NLB and ARR only.

@amayacitta Are you still looking for a solution?

Please, decoupling the ARR/NLB requirement from load balancing generally would be preferred. A Microsoft NLB solution isn’t very attractive to enterprises, they much prefer to run F5/Netscaler etc.
