Cloud-native LoadMaster Load Balancer

SOLUTION OVERVIEW 

Advanced Layer 4-7 Load Balancing
Optimized application templates, intelligent content switching logic and a range of application-aware traffic steering methods ensure that client requests are always sent to the best possible target and consistent application experience is maintained

• Intelligent content matching & modification policies
• Application-aware health checking and scheduling
• Advanced multi-tier virtual service traffic routing
• SSL termination and multi-certificate SNI support
• Compression and caching optimization

Global Multi-Site Load Balancing
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) enables multi-data center and multi-cloud resilience by leveraging service resource awareness and DNS to steer traffic across geographically distributed pools based on defined business logic

• Location, proximity and availability-based policies
• Protection of counterfeit DNS data with DNSSEC support
• GSLB clustering for redundancy
• Configurable IP range tagging for advanced traffic steering logic
• Integration with application-level load balancers for higher fidelity routing decisions

Defense-in-Depth Security
With the load balancer most commonly being network device deployed closest to the application, it’s optimized for co-locating key security services, introducing zero trust architecture models and providing a last line of defense.

• Zero Trust Access Gateway (ZTAG)
• Multi-factor authentication and SSO delivered with ESP
• Application-specific and general WAF rules to prevent a range of application level exploits
• LDAP security group based service access and traffic routing
• RADIUS, X.509, Active Directory, RSA & Kerberos-based pre-authentication
• FIPS 140-2 support on all LoadMaster products

Comprehensive Centralized Management
To maintain optimal application experience and availability, tools that provide administrators with total single pane of glass control are critical. The Kemp 360 suite complements LoadMaster load balancers by enabling proactive monitoring, analytics, reporting and configuration management

• Monitoring and alerting on developing issues and mis-configurations
• Multi-vendor ADC management for NGINX, F5 Networks, HAProxy & AWS
• Load balancer capacity and utilization reporting
• Automation of operational tasks such as backups, upgrades and scheduled reboots
• Support for fully automated virtual cloud platform deployment based on desired state configuration
