GSI Software Distribution Load Balancer for SMS 2.0

Load Balancer is a highly useful application in organizations distributing software (with mandatory assignments) to a large number of SMS client machines. Without Load Balancer, all SMS clients access the Distribution Point(s) at the same time. This surge in activity causes high utilization of the infrastructure, and in effect prevents successful change and configuration management. It is therefore recommended to maintain resources utilization at a moderate level by balancing SMS software distribution activities. These activities can be balanced manually by creating multiple collections and advertisements (a tedious and time consuming task) or you can balance the software distribution automatically using the Load Balancer.
