Hi,
The core technology of building web farm from Microsoft is NLB (Network
loading balance). However pure NLB cluster do not have built-in ability to
monitor and heartbeat on web service or application level. AC just
provides
plenty of application layer monitoring and management functions based on
NLB cluster.
You may refer to the following resource kit chapters:
