Oracle’s PeopleSoft applications are designed to address the most complex business requirements. They provide comprehensive business and industry solutions, enabling organizations to increase productivity, accelerate business performance and provide a lower cost of ownership. The Oracle PeopleSoft Enterprise Suite covers a wide range of applications including Financial Management (FM), Human Capital Management (HCM), Service Automation and Supplier Relationship Management (SRM).

To improve performance and provide High Availability (HA), Oracle PeopleSoft supports using a hardware or software load balancer. The LoadMaster can be used to load balance Oracle PeopleSoft.

Prerequisites

Some prerequisites to be aware of before configuring the LoadMaster are listed below:

  • PeopleSoft must be set up and appropriately configured for it to work with a load balancer. For further information, refer to the Oracle documentation.
  • If using SSL Acceleration, ensure to obtain the appropriate SSL certificate and key and install it on the LoadMaster. For more information, refer to the SSL Accelerated Services, Feature Description.
