Kemp Loadmaster
Layer 4/7 load balancing, SSL/TLS termination and health checks for application delivery.
Kemp LoadMaster — Layer 4/7 load balancing with SSL termination and health checks
Applications can fail to meet demand or suffer uneven load across servers. That creates availability gaps and forces teams to manage TLS on multiple hosts or add complexity to application stacks.
Kemp LoadMaster enables consistent traffic distribution, session persistence and content-based routing so services stay reachable and backend work is reduced. Its health checks and SSL termination centralise common delivery controls, making it easier to keep web and application services stable across mixed estates.
Where Kemp Loadmaster is used
Place LoadMaster in front of web and application tiers to balance traffic, offload SSL and route requests by URL or host header. This reduces per-server CPU and simplifies certificate management.
Use it for hybrid deployments where some backends run on‑premise and others in the cloud, for blue/green or canary routing, or by hosting providers that need to present consistent delivery controls across multiple customers.
Suitable environments
Best suited to organisations running business‑critical web or application services across on‑premise and virtualised estates, and to MSPs/hosting providers needing predictable delivery controls. It works where availability and scalability are important and where TLS termination and health checks should be centralised.
