Abstract. The problem of load balancing in large information systems is discussed. In conditions of high load of information systems caused by big data and an increase in the number of users, effective distribution of the load between system resources becomes critical. Existing load balancing algorithms are considered, considering a centralized or distributed approach to building the architecture of an information system. A description of different architectures for building information systems is given, highlighting the features of load balancing mechanisms for them. The results of a full-scale experiment on virtual servers to evaluate the effectiveness of load balancing algorithms are presented. The computing characteristics of the servers were set differently and the expected request execution time was played out randomly, which makes the experiment close to real conditions.

Keywords: highly loaded system, load balancing, system architecture, resource allocation, balancing algorithms, full-scale experiment
