Hi All,

Configuring a service group enables you to manage a group of services as easily as a single service. For example, if you enable or disable any option, such as compression, health monitoring or graceful shutdown, for a service group, the option gets enabled for all the members of the service group.
After creating a service group, you can bind it to a virtual server, and you can add services to the group.

A NetScaler cluster is a group of nCore appliances working together as a single system image. Each appliance of the cluster is called a node. The cluster can include as few as 2 or as many as 32 NetScaler nCore hardware or virtual appliances as nodes.
The client traffic is distributed between the nodes to provide high availability, high throughput, and scalability.
To create a cluster, you must add the appliances as cluster nodes, set up communication between the nodes, set up links to the client and server networks, configure the appliances, and configure the distribution of client and server traffic.
What is Load Balancing? The load balancing feature distributes user requests for Web site pages and other protected applications across multiple servers that all host (or mirror) the same content. You use load balancing primarily to manage user requests to heavily used applications, preventing poor performance and outages and ensuring that users can access your protected applications. Load balancing also provides fault tolerance; when one server that hosts a protected application becomes unavailable, the feature distributes user requests to the other servers that host the same application.
