Autoscaling and Load balancing

Autoscaling and load balancing are essential features of a professional cloud service, and Togglebox Cloud includes both as standard.

Autoscaling

Togglebox Cloud includes rapid, easy-to-configure autoscaling for virtual machines. VMs can up and down (adding/removing RAM, CPU and disk resources), and scale VMs out (by cloning the VM) according to configurable thresholds.

For example, you can set up a rule that will add 1,000MB of memory to a VM if RAM usage has been above 90% for the last 10 minutes - but add no more than 5,000MB in 24 hours. Billing is automatically adjusted for autoscaled resources.

Load balancing

Togglebox Cloud also features automatic load balancing of selected VMs, powered by Loadbalancer.org technology. With a few clicks you can specify which VMs will participate in a load balancer cluster. Incoming traffic is distributed evenly between all VMs in the cluster.
