To integrate Load Balancers and Juniper Networks with your monitoring system, please reach out to MetricFire. Book a demo with the MetricFire team to discuss integrating Load Balancers and Juniper Networks and how that can support your monitoring system.
Load balancing is a process used in computing, and is in the field of parallel computers. This process involves sharing or distributing a set of tasks over a set of resources. These resources can be a set of physical or virtual components of a computer system. The result of load balancing makes the processing of these tasks more efficient and optimized. This helps to avoid unevenly overloading compute nodes while other compute nodes are idling and not doing anything.
Load balancing is often approached in two ways, static algorithms and dynamic algorithms. Static algorithms do not take into account the current state of the different machines. The Dynamic algorithm approach, however, exchanges information between the different computing units. This process may result in a loss of efficiency, but the reward usually outweighs the risk. This approach is used more generally.
Juniper Networks is an American based multinational company. They provide networking products such as Routers, Switches, Networking management software, networking security products, and much more. Established during the mid 90’s they are among the market leaders in the networking space today.
In the past, Juniper focused more on Routers and switches, but as of 2014, have begun focusing and developing more software-defined networking products and security. Juniper currently has the 3rd largest market share for routers and switches used by internet services providers.
To integrate Load Balancers and Juniper Networks with your monitoring system, sign up for a free trial with MetricFire. Talk with the MetricFire team about how to integrate Load Balancers and Juniper Networks and get Load Balancers and Juniper Networks interacting with your MetricFire dashboards directly.
MetricFire is a full-scale platform that provides infrastructure, system, and application monitoring using a suite of open-source monitoring tools. We enable you to use Hosted Graphite and aesthetic custom dashboards to visualize your metrics so you can understand what is happening.
MetricFire offers users a complete ecosystem of end-to-end infrastructure monitoring, comprised of popular open-source monitoring software services: Graphite and popular dashboards. Plugins for many other open-source projects are preconfigured, such as StatsD, collectd, and Kubernetes. You get all these within a hosted environment as a single product. Not only does MetricFire fit well into the infrastructure monitoring use-case, such as network monitoring and server monitoring, but we also do application monitoring and business intelligence.
Through this hosted environment, MetricFire boosts the unique features of open-source projects to give you more functionality than the original products. Below are some of the MetricFire features at a glance:
Cloud Monitoring
Hosted Graphite
Dashboards
The key thing to remember is that Hosted Graphite by MetricFire is more than just Graphite. Our Hosted Graphite product actually adds data dimensionality and better data storage.
The benefits of MetricFire are:
Simple, low-cost pricing
A structured pricing model based on unique time series metrics allows you to work within your budget. The predictability and transparent pricing allow you to keep your costs in check and plan for the future. 1 metric is 1 metric.
Easy-to-use dashboards
Easily share your dashboards with clients for free.
Responsive alerting
Alert notification integrations PagerDuty, Slack, email, and webhooks.
Freedom of customization
Custom metrics through your code.
Fantastic customer support
Highly available support is provided by engineers for engineers to get you set up quickly.
Enterprise-ready
Dedicated clusters for users that need their own environment.
“We now have over ten times the amount of metrics we started with, and on different accounts. One of the great things about MetricFire is that scaling to support this increase has been hassle-free, requiring no additional work on our side.”
“Building and managing an on-premise installation at this scale would require a lot of engineer time, especially in the first year...we use this engineering time to work on initiatives closer to our core business”
“There’s complete transparency with everything MetricFire do which means we can accurately predict what we’ll be spending and comfortably keep within our budget.”
"Every time I have a question, I get an answer from support after just a couple of hours. Their technical knowledge is excellent.”
