Virtual LoadMaster Load Balancer

SOLUTION OVERVIEW 

Resilient

LoadMaster can enhance application availability and resilience with the option for Highly Available (HA) paring of appliances and geographic server load balancing (GSLB) removing single points of failure in the data center and across data centers. Application server health checks enable redirection of traffic to healthy servers and the optional Kemp 360 Vision service provides 24x7 proactive support to ensure continuous application availability.

Scalable
As application delivery demands grow, LoadMaster can scale by clustering multiple appliances together into a single load balancer entity. As well as scaling to meet increasing capacity requirements, clustering also provides resilience as the failure of a cluster member is gracefully handled with remaining members continuing to provide service.

Secure
As the access point for applications, LoadMaster provides authentication and attack mitigation services to prevent malicious and unauthorized access to application resources. The Edge Security Pack (ESP) enables pre-authentication of clients (LDAP, OIDC, Active Directory, RADIUS and SAML) while the Web Application Firewall (WAF) offers continuous application-level protection through OWASP CRS with updated reputation data daily.

Low Cost of Ownership
LoadMaster delivers performance and functionality at a compelling price point when measured against the key metrics of SSL transactions per second, application throughput and active connections. Coupled with the low operational overheads delivered by features such as application templates and our world class customer support services, organizations can achieve significant TCO reductions on application delivery.

Easily Managed
LoadMaster appliances can be managed via the intuitive web UI, via API (PowerShell/RESTful) or via Kemp 360 Central. Application templates simplify deployment and optimization, while the API provides an easy way to automate configuration and management tasks whether through DevOps toolsets or operational frameworks.

Fully Featured
LoadMaster includes a comprehensive set of features to enable deployment of application delivery and interfaces and API to integrate with existing authentication, logging, management, and provisioning systems.
