A company is experiencing occasional website downtime during peak traffic hours despite having multiple servers. To resolve this issue while ensuring all servers receive an equitable amount of traffic, what solution should be implemented?
A load balancer should be implemented to distribute incoming network traffic across several servers to ensure that no single server bears too much demand. By spreading the load, it enhances the responsiveness and availability of applications or websites. A fault tolerance system is more about maintaining system reliability in case of a component failure, not primarily about distributing workload. Firewalls and VPN concentrators focus more on security and would not assist in distributing traffic load as required in the given scenario.
