With built-in load balancing, security and monitoring capabilities, LoadMaster offers full support for modern IT environments, ensuring the continuous availability and stability of critical application resources.

LoadMaster enables MSPs to scale and manage applications, offering flexible and intuitive tools to control traffic and proactive support to prevent downtime and system failures. Its advanced geographic load balancing capabilities and integration with Kemp 360 Vision provide full visibility and control over IT infrastructure.

The main features of Progress LoadMaster:

• Resiliency and High Availability - LoadMaster offers Highly Available (HA) device pairing and geographic load balancing (GSLB), eliminating single points of failure both within and between data centers. This allows MSPs to ensure uninterrupted application availability and rapid redirection of traffic to capable servers in the event of an outage.
  Scalability and flexibility - LoadMaster supports multi-device clustering to increase throughput and application performance, enabling MSPs to scale resources according to growing customer needs. Clustering also provides resiliency against single-system component failures.

• Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) - With efficient load balancing, traffic optimization and minimal operational costs, LoadMaster enables a significant reduction in total cost of ownership compared to traditional solutions, making it an attractive choice for MSPs.

• Easy management and automation - LoadMaster can be managed via an intuitive web interface, APIs (PowerShell/RESTful) or Kemp 360 Central, allowing MSPs to quickly deploy and automate configuration tasks.

• Network telemetry and integration with Flowmon Collector - LoadMaster exports network flow data to Flowmon Collector, enabling comprehensive bandwidth analysis, identifying bottlenecks and improving security across the application delivery chain.
