A network engineer is configuring a device that distributes incoming web traffic evenly across several web servers. This is to ensure high availability and optimal resource utilization. Which device is BEST suited for this purpose?
A load balancer is designed to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server bears too much demand. By spreading the load, a load balancer reduces individual server load, prevents any one server from becoming a single point of failure, and improves overall network efficiency and performance.
