Incapsula, the cloud-based website security and performance service company, unveils 'the first' cloud-based integrated, Layer 7-aware, global and local load balancer to provide true in-datacenter and cross-datacenter load balancing, as well as automatic failover for disaster recovery.
This new capability augments Incapsula’s Application Security, DDoS Mitigation and Content Delivery Network capabilities to provide customers with a comprehensive Cloud-based Application Delivery Service, says Incapsula.

Today, we change that,” said Gur Shatz, CEO of Incapsula. “Our cloud-based load balancer is the first to balance traffic across datacenters and multiple web servers directly from the cloud, allowing our customers to take full advantage of the benefits of the cloud and scale without the need for DNS based routing, a local load balancer, or a virtual appliance.” "Incapsula’s integrated global and local load balancer provides three major service components through a single global Application Delivery Platform:"
