When we compare load balancing dedicated server to Dedicated server Hosting , then we find load balancing dedicated server more effective as it offers many features in comparison to the dedicated server. Some of the features of the load balanced dedicated servers are as follows :-

1) Asymmetric load : Backend dedicated servers can be used to share the load on the server. Due to this the performance of the front end servers is improved.

2) Immediate Activation :If by chance the server fails, the backend server can be brought online immediately and this will make sure that the websites do not face any downtime.

3) SSL Load Management :Load balancing hardware can be used to manage all the SSL connections.

4) Protection against DDoS : SYN cookies and delayed binds can work offline and protect from DDoS counter attacks.

5) Compression of HTTP : gzip on web browser to reduce load on the data transfer.

6) TCP Offloading / buffer : Every HTTP request has different TCP Connection.It has the capability to serve every client and will take care of every task on the server.

7) Caching of HTTP :It can store the static data and due to this it is not necessary to retrieve the data everytime which reduces the load on the dedicated server.

8) Filtering : Filtering and traffic management.

9) Security on HTTP : In order to maintain the high security on the server which is very important it can hide HTTP error page, remove HTTP response and cookie encryptions.

10) Priority Que : Differentiating between decent traffic and bad traffic.

11) Request Switch :As per the URL which is requested the request can be sent to different load balancing servers.

13) Authentication from client : With the help of this no other client can access your website other than the client who has the authentication or say the permission to access the website.

14) Firewall : The connections to the load balacing servers which are not trusted or are unsecured are not allowed on the servers. This makes the dedicated server much more secured.
