Associated legal terms
Automated calls
An automated calling system does what the name suggests. It is a system that: • automatically calls a series of different telephone numbers, and • transmits a message which is not live speech
electronic mail
Electronic mail means any text, voice, sound or image message sent over a public electronic communications network, which can be stored until it is collected by the recipient. It specifically includes messages sent by text.
Load balancing
Where applications are run across multiple servers to handle requests from large numbers of clients, a load balancer is used to present a single entry point for client requests and to spread the load across all available servers. Load balancers can detect where best to direct a specific request in order to balance the work of the combined resources and maintain response / performance levels.
