SQL Server Reporting Services Scale out Configuration
One of the major benefits that SQL Server provides is the scaling out the SQL Server Reporting Services. SQL Server Reporting Services are used as concept of hosting reports which various business processes requires. SQL Server Reporting Services does an efficient job in hosting all the reports. But the problem comes when the load starts increasing in terms of number of users accessing the reports. This may result in:
1. Slow processing of SQL Server Reports
2. Crashing of SQL Server Reports Server
In order to overcome the above issue, SQL Server Reporting Services can be overcome through the concept of scalability. This is implemented with the help of network load balancing (NLB) and Domain Implementation.
The following figure gives a clear cut picture of how to achieve the same:
The above setup is still scalable. We can add more servers in the NLB as and when the load increases.
