I’ve had at least a dozen instances today where I try to submit something in a thread or direct message and end up with this. I tried ending the app (iOS) and restarting, and everything resulted in this. Only waiting quite a while sees it working again. Server load issues? Let me know if you’d like some assistance with load balancing/management.
I forgot about the network engineer bit - Cisco certified, right? How about Juniper?
I deal with Cisco a ton. But for application and server load balancing I’m all about Citrix netscalers. No one can touch them.
There's a name I haven't heard in a while (well, I did retire 8 years ago!)
They’ve been around for so long, and just keep getting better. The application firewall module is so good. You can do so much to prevent things like sql injections into form fields, just as one example.
From a basic standpoint, and very easily, they handle the front end requests and only contact the back end server (s) with unique requests. Identical requests for static information on the servers are served from cache on the netscaler front end. So you end up with higher performance with fewer back end servers, all while preventing direct attacks on said servers.
I believe we were looking into their server-based virtual desktop solution about 11 or so years ago.
I deploy and support Citrix virtual applications and desktops very often. It’s a pretty big focus for me.
