This allows our servers to better support spikes in traffic to our customers' sites; load balancing delivers your traffic to the server with the most available resources, so your site isn't tied to the limited performance of a single server. Database services are housed on a separate server cluster than the web services. The end result is a hosting environment that has a cluster of servers that support the web services and then separate servers that support your databases, not just one server to handle all the load.
