Abstract
Embodiments for a method of providing dynamic load balancing and fail-over in a WAN network. The interface group architecture for WAN is applied to both sides of the source-destination connection to redirect the data movement of read/write operations away from a public network to a private network. The process identifies interface group selection criteria to be invoked on both source and destination servers to select a tenant-specific private network interface for multi-tenant servers. The method provides high availability communication to select the interface for reads/writes as well as load balancing across the interfaces of each interface group, and a failover interface for recovery from interfaces of the interface group.
