Out of the following devices, which one is an internet appliance specifically designed to manage incoming internet traffic and distribute it across multiple servers to prevent any single server from being overwhelmed?
Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance
Switch
Gateway
Load balancer
A load balancer is an Internet appliance that distributes workloads across two or more servers (or links) so no single device becomes a bottleneck. By spreading sessions and monitoring server health, it optimizes throughput and improves availability. A Unified Threat Management (UTM) appliance bundles security services such as firewall, IDS/IPS, and antivirus; a gateway simply serves as an entry/exit point between networks; and a switch forwards frames within a local LAN segment without balancing traffic among separate server nodes.
