Load Balancing for SAS Workspace Servers and SAS Stored Process Servers
Load balancing is a feature that distributes work among the server processes in a logical workspace server or a logical stored process server. Load balancing is well-suited to applications that connect to servers for long periods of time and that submit long jobs. Desktop applications often fall into this category.
The load balancer runs in the object spawner, which is a program that runs on server machines, listens for incoming client requests, and launches server instances as needed. When a logical server is set up for load balancing, and the object spawner receives a client request for a server in the logical server group, the spawner directs the request to the server in the group that has the least load.
SAS Pooled Workspace Servers and SAS Stored Process Servers are load-balanced by default. For more information about load balancing, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Application Server Administration Guide.
