Granular IP Firewall Control

Allow or deny individual IPs or IP ranges to restrict which traffic gets sent to your application servers. Spectrum's built-in, software-defined IP firewall makes it easy to control the flow of traffic without hardware or costly maintenance. This results in increased security and control over your application's traffic.

Automatic Failover and Uptime

With Load Balancing, all active TCP connections and UDP traffic automatically failover to a healthy server, helping increase the uptime of your services. As a result, you can minimize downtime and ensure high availability.
