Chili!Soft ASP supports various models for horizontal scalability and load balancing, including both software- and hardware-based solutions. For example, Chili!Soft ASP can support software-based solutions such as round-robin DNS or load balancing software from Bright Tiger or Microsoft. Chili!Soft ASP also can be used with hardware-based scalability and load balancing products such as Cisco Local Director, F5 BigIP, and ArrowPoint Content Smart Switch. Each of these products support the concept of "sticky sessions," necessary for session-based applications to function properly.
