Hi,
We are planning to implement load balancing due to heavy load on our application (.net app that runs on VM) . i dont have much idea about load balancers. please answer the below queries.
1. Is load balancing a software or a hard ware configuration ? what are the popular load balancers for on premise (if i have multiple VMs)
2. How the application deployment should happen if i am using 3 VM ? do i need to deploy it to all the 3 VM ?
Please suggest your valuable advise.

F5 load balancer is one of the way to do load balancing in on-premise. Based on user location the appropriate vm will be routed. You have to deploy the application in 3 vms. The database can be one for all these apps or you can change it later and apply replication.
Each app hosted in the vm will have dedicated host name to access and also common host name for apps in 3 vms. The user will use the common host name to access the app.
you can check online for F5 load balancer, it is a device that has to be configured to handle load balancing.
