KEMP first to add Layer-7 load balancing to Windows Azure

New Application Delivery Controller delivers high availability for mission critical cloud applications.

  • 11 years ago Posted in

KEMP Technologies is shipping its new Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) for Windows Azure, the first application delivery controller to add much-needed application-layer traffic management capabilities to the Azure cloud solution. With Layer-7 load balancing, Microsoft’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platform enables high availability, persistence, health checking and scalability for mission-critical applications running in the Windows Azure cloud.


The KEMP LoadMaster for Azure offers superior Layer-7 application delivery that exceeds Azure’s built-in Layer-4 load balancing and is simple to provision via the Azure management portal. Unlike other solutions, the feature-rich KEMP VLM runs directly on the cloud platform rather than just directing traffic to the Azure network, delivering higher performance and optimal throughput for enterprises.


“KEMP has a long history of working with Microsoft to optimise business-critical applications,” said Peter Melerud, EVP of Product Management at KEMP Technologies. “As Microsoft continues to announce more enterprise services for Azure, application-aware load balancing will become increasingly vital for productivity in the cloud. We are proud to partner with Microsoft to provide the first Layer-7 load balancer to deliver high performance application availability to Azure users.”
