Abstract

At the Information Technology Faculty, Satya Wacana Christian University, load balancing systems are implemented where the web server serves 500 users. This is to prevent server overload or downtime during simultaneous access to the web server. Test results indicate significant differences in CPU usage, request time, and bandwidth between load balancing and single servers. The use of load balancing is more effective than relying on a single server, as evidenced by test results. The CPU usage with load balancing is significantly lower, with a difference of up to 45% compared to a single server. The request time with load balancing is also slightly better, with only 21.5ms compared to 42ms for a single server. However, the difference in bandwidth between load balancing and a single server is not very significant. The highest bandwidth recorded on a single server is 182kb/s, while with load balancing it reaches 165kb/s.
