Load Balancing Todays Web Applications

What are the challenges?
Virtual Data Center introduces new challenges for load balancers and application management
- Transition to Virtual Machines (VMs) using Vmware and Microsoft Hyper-V technology - Servers that used to be stand-alone are now VMs - Virtual data center requires orchestration of the application, VM server and switching infrastructure
Application Network Manager (5.1)

Introduction to ACE Load Balancer

Cisco ACE provides many advanced load balancing feature which can be applied to meet challengers with deploying today's applications
These features include:
1. Access-control (permit or deny a request) 2. Management traffic 3. TCP normalization/connection parameters
4. 5. 6. 7.

Load balancing based on server response time; response time calculated over a configured number of samples and supports the following options
ACE
Serverfarm
SYN to SYN-ACK
SYN to Close
Application Request to Response
Time between SYN send from ACE to SYN-ACK received from the server

Session Persistence
When customers visits an e-commerce site, they usually start out by browsing the site Depending on the application, the site may require that the client become "stuck" to one server once the connection is established, or the application may not require this until the client starts to build a shopping cart This is known as stickiness or session persistence Prior to ACE 4.X, sticky connections require a resource class to be configured. If your forget ANM will send you the following message

Allocation of Resources
Virtual Context Setup

Every ACE device contains a special virtual context called "Admin", which has settings for the ACE device itself. You can configure load balancing within the Admin context, it is recommended that you create separate virtual contexts for load balancing
The capacity of each ACE virtual context is determined by its resource class If Admin context is not configured correctly admin could be starved of all resources
When configuring resource allocations in ACE, it is possible to allocate 100% of resources to non-Admin contexts, so that the Admin context is no longer reachable via ICMP, telnet, SNMP, etc
24
Recommended Settings for Admin Context

Considerations when Load Balancing SSL Connections
SSL Server Offload

To terminate or initiate HTTPS connections with ACE, the virtual context must have at least one SSL proxy service. An SSL proxy contains the certificate and key information needed to terminate HTTPS connections from the client or initiate them to the servers
ANM (Application Network Manager) provides you with a guided setup to import an SSL key pair into the ACE
BRKAPP-2020
Cisco Public
27
Sample SSL Key/Cert Pair

ACE shipped with a default RSA 1024 bit. Certificate is based on this key pair The sample certificate and key are named cisco-sample-cert and ciscosample-key You can view the sample SSL key and cert
The sample SSL key and cert files can be exported using the crypto export command

29
SSL Server Offload Configuration

In order to configure SSL, you need to add the following to a L3 / L4 class map:
- parameter-map type ssl - ssl-proxy service - policy-map
parameter-map is used to define parameters for SSL connections (e.g., SSL version, cipher suites, close protocol behavior) ssl-proxy is used to define the used certificates and keys to be in SSL connections

Deploying VMware View 4.0 with Cisco ACE
Why add a Cisco ACE?

Scalability: Larger deployments require multiple Security Servers or multiple Connection Servers
- Cisco ACE balances client connections across available connection servers - VMware rates a single View Connection Server at 1,500 concurrent non-tunneled connections, and 30% less if tunneled
Fault Tolerance
- Cisco ACE detects the failure of View components, and directs traffic around the failure
Performance
- Reduce CPU usage on Connection Servers by offloading HTTPS cryptography

General Types of View Deployments

LAN Tunneled Deployment

- Display protocol Traffic is encapsulated in HTTPS and passes through the View Connection Server
Secure (DMZ) Tunneled Deployment

- Display protocol Traffic is encapsulated in HTTPS and passes through the View Security Server - View Security Server does not participate in Active Directory, and can be safely placed in DMZ

Outlook Anywhere Over HTTP

If ACE can use the User-Agent: MSRPC HTTP header to detect RPC over HTTP This enables you to use the same VIP for OWA and Outlook Anywhere, therefore saving address space ACE can use the Basic Authorization header for session persistence. This eliminates you having to use SOURCE-IP stickiness
RPC_IN_DATA /rpc/rpcproxy.dll?exch-ace-tme.com:6004 HTTP/1.1 Accept: application/rpc When using NTLM it is believed the hash value could User-Agent: MSRPC change. Therefore you cannot use the Authorization Host: exch-ace-tme.com header for session persistence. You will need to use Content-Length: 1073741824 source-ip stickiness Connection: Keep-Alive Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache Authorization: Basic Q0xJRU5UXG1kaXR0bWVyOmZvbw==

Microsoft SharePoint 2010 with ACE
What Is Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010? Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 is a portal-based collaboration platform for creating, managing and sharing documents and Web services SharePoint 2010 enables users to create "Sharepoint Portals" that include shared workspaces, applications, blogs, wikis and other documents accessible through a Web browser

Logical Architecture
A SharePoint 2010 Serverfarm is a 3 Tier Architecture, which consists of: Web Front End Server(s) Application Server(s) Database Server(s) The Web Server role provides Web content to clients. The Application Server role provides SharePoint 2010 services such as search queries, Office Web Applications and crawling and indexing content The Database Server stores Content and Configuration information.

Minimum Requirements for a SharePoint 2010 Installation

The following components are required for a minimum installation of SharePoint 2010: SharePoint Server 2010 (This is 64-bit only) 64-bit Windows Server 2008 SP2 or 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit SQL Server 2008 or 64-bit SQL Server 2005

SharePoint 2010 Topologies SharePoint Server 2010 can be deployed in a serverfarm environment when hosting a large number of sites, when the best possible performance is required, or if the scalability of a multi-tier topology is needed A Serverfarm consists of one or more servers dedicated to running the SharePoint Server 2010 application Serverfarm environments can encompass a wide range of topologies, and can include many servers or as few as two servers Because a Serverfarm deployment of SharePoint Server 2010 can be complex, Microsoft recommends that you plan your deployment
65
Large Topology Considerations

Although Microsoft Windows 2008 Server can provide software-based load balancing, Cisco ACE can offer higher performance
ACE also provides server health monitoring, and TCP connection management and HTTP optimization using HTTP compression and hardware SSL termination Virtualization within ACE allows a single pair to serve multiple SharePoint applications as well as other Microsoft and non-Microsoft enterprise applications It is possible to collapse a multi-tier architecture onto a single pair of ACE devices without the need to order and configure additional equipment

Large Topology Considerations

The GSS probes the ACE load balancers to retrieve the Web front-ends health and load information Based on this information the GSS can load balance the users request to the best available data centre The GSS then provides user stickiness for all users sequential request The GSS is authoritative for the WWW. The GSS will only provide a A record if the Web front-ends health is available
