Intelligent Traffic Distribution

Route millions of requests with sub-millisecond latency. Our AnyCast load balancers automatically distribute traffic across regions, terminate SSL, and eliminate single points of failure.

Advanced Routing & Protection

⚖️

Flexible Algorithms

Round-robin, least connections, IP hash, or weighted distribution. Customize routing per backend pool.

🔒

SSL/TLS Termination

Offload encryption at the edge. Bring your own certs or use our automated Let's Encrypt integration.

💓

Health Checks & Failover

Sub-second health monitoring with automatic traffic shifting to healthy nodes. Custom HTTP/TCP checks.

🌍

Geo-Steering

Route users to the nearest data center or direct traffic to specific regions for compliance & performance.

🛡️

Integrated WAF & DDoS

Layer 7 firewall rules, rate limiting, and volumetric DDoS mitigation built directly into the LB fabric.

📊

Real-Time Analytics

Monitor requests, latency, error rates, and connection counts with 1-second granularity dashboards.

Auto-Scaled Instances

DNS resolves to the nearest AnyCast IP. The edge load balancer terminates TLS, evaluates routing rules and health status, then forwards traffic to the optimal backend server. Failover occurs in under 500ms.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does failover work across regions?
Our AnyCast network automatically detects regional outages. When health checks fail for a primary region, traffic is instantly rerouted to the next nearest healthy region via DNS and BGP updates, typically within 500-1000ms.
Can I use my own SSL certificates?
Yes. You can upload your own PEM/CER certificates directly in the console, or integrate with HashiCorp Vault, AWS ACM, or Let's Encrypt for automated rotation and management.
Is there a limit on backend servers?
Standard plans support up to 50 backend targets per pool. Pro plans support up to 200. Enterprise plans offer unlimited targets with custom partitioning for high-scale architectures.
Do you support Layer 4 (TCP/UDP) load balancing?
Absolutely. CloudNexus provides full Layer 4 support for TCP, UDP, and TLS passthrough, ideal for gaming, IoT, and database replication traffic that doesn't require HTTP inspection.
