On-Premise Data Gateway - Alternative Methods for Load Balancing

I am designing On-Premise Data Gateway architecture. 

 

For failover and load balancing, I will be creating a Gateway cluster with 2 Gateway servers and configuring it for load balancing on the service. 

 

Is this the only available method to implement Load Balancing for On-Premise Data Gateway? Are there alternative designs to consider? 

 

Thank you

@PC_PBI Well, you could go old school and put your gateways in different clusters on different servers and then use a load balancer like an F5 or something but not sure why you would complicate your life like that.

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Thanks for the info

 

This will help the conversation. 

For out of the box load balancing, there is random, distribute, or you can load balance based on cpu and memory throttling

I am only using the distribute option, so not sure how good the load balancing works based on cpu and memory
