What is a hardware load balancer?
“A hardware load balancer is a dedicated physical appliance that distributes incoming traffic across a pool of backend servers, usually on-premises in your data center. It runs on purpose-built hardware, which gives it consistent performance and a fixed capacity you can plan around. Because the device is dedicated to traffic distribution, its resources are not shared with other applications.”

“A hardware load balancer sits in front of your servers and receives client requests through a virtual IP address. It forwards each request to an available server, chosen by an algorithm such as round robin or least connections.”
在公司資料中查看What is the difference between a hardware and a virtual load balancer?
“A hardware load balancer runs on a dedicated physical appliance in your data center, while a virtual load balancer runs as a virtual machine on a hypervisor or in the cloud. Hardware gives you fixed, predictable capacity and physical isolation, which suits on-premises environments and steady, high-volume traffic.”
