Load Balanced Application Server

Question

What exactly load balanced application server means?

Suppose I have one application server on which State Service Application is running. Now if I join another application server on farm and start State Service Application on that new machine, then it becomes load balanced? Because now same service application is running on two servers.

Answer 1

Yes you are right. When you start the service ( Manage Services on sever) to multiple Servers then SharePoint automatically detect it and load balanced.

I.e you configure the User profile services, now you run the User Profile Services on both server( from manage services on server), so if one server goes down, SharePoint will automatically get the services from 2nd server.
