Kemp Offers Free Load Balancer for DevOpsKemp Offers Free Load Balancer for DevOps

NEW YORK, N.Y., March 3, 2015 – The free version of KEMP Technologies’ LoadMaster application load balancer is now available for unlimited use, making it easy for IT developers and open source technology users to benefit from all the features of a full commercial-grade product at no cost. It can be downloaded at FreeLoadBalancer.com

KEMP’s new Free LoadMaster provides all of the core functionality available in the commercial version of the product at zero cost. Now, a choice no longer has to be made between cost and functionality for development and test environments - whether on premise or in public cloud environments, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure or VMware vCloud Air.

Free LoadMaster includes ALL of the core functionality expected from a commercial load balancer to enable full testing and validation of application interaction, including global site load balancing via KEMP’s GSLB functionality, authentication and single sign-on with the Edge Security Pack, and verification of custom web application firewall (WAF) rules prior to rolling them into production with the KEMP Web Application Firewall Pack (AFP) – all at no cost.

KEMP’s well-documented REST API (LMAPI) provides access to ~95% of all functionality inside of the product for workflow automation and scripting. Powershell and Java API wrappers provide flexibility for the language used to instantiate, instrument and integrate Free LoadMaster into common development and testing scenario workflows, and there are also plans to deliver a Puppet module in a future version. Community-driven and led support provides a venue for developer-centric collaboration and innovation on new use cases and methodologies in KEMP’s Help Center.

KEMP LoadMaster is an advanced Layer 2-7 application delivery controller (ADC). Flexible deployment options are available for a wide array of hypervisor and cloud platforms, as well as dedicated KEMP appliances and third party server integration for bare metal installation. LoadMaster provides enterprise application integration and acceleration services that intelligently direct client traffic in order to help applications perform better in on-premise, virtualized and hybrid cloud architectures.
