The explosive growth of the Internet economy and new IP-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications is creating a heightened requirement for continuous availability of mission-critical data residing on IBM z-Series servers. Cisco MultiNode Load Balancing (MNLB) is designed to meet this need for large enterprise and IBM Parallel Sysplex data centers requiring high availability and scalability for e-commerce and Internet business applications.

MNLB is an IP server load-balancing solution that distributes load-balancing capabilities across any number of routers, enabling the highest levels of availability, scalability, and performance for server applications. MNLB consists of software running on Cisco routers and switches and the IBM Sysplex Distributor function in z/OS Communications Server Release 1.2 and later.
