What do load balancers support in a large SailPoint IdentityIQ setup?

In a large SailPoint IdentityIQ setup, load balancers primarily support user interface performance. By distributing incoming user requests across multiple application servers, load balancers help ensure that no single server becomes overwhelmed with traffic. This is crucial for maintaining a responsive and efficient user interface experience, especially in high-traffic environments.

By managing traffic effectively, load balancers mitigate latency and enhance application availability, allowing users to interact with IdentityIQ more smoothly. This optimization is especially important in scenarios where many users may be accessing the system simultaneously, ensuring that the application remains performing at optimal levels.

While load balancers may interact indirectly with aspects of database management, task processing, and network security, their primary function in the context of a SailPoint IdentityIQ setup is to improve the performance and reliability of the user interface by efficiently managing incoming requests.
