From the initial release of Hyper-V from Microsoft, Kemp Technologies recognized the importance of this virtualization environment. So KEMP Technologies developed both the Virtual LoadMaster VLM 100 and VLM 1000 to be completely optimized to work in this environment. The VLM for Hyper-V can support a comprehensive set of applications ranging from web services to Microsoft Lync.
The VLM LoadMaster is extremely simple to configure. The choices available to the installer are quite straight forward:
- If you understand load balancing concepts and have installation experience use the Web Interface to set up Virtual Services and Real Servers manually by simply following the installation guide.
- If you are new to installing a virtual load balancer with Microsoft Exchange you will be pleasantly surprised to find that KEMP has made this easy for you as the VLM is supplied with a common set of Exchange 2010 templates that can be imported into the VLM with a number of options pre-configured and ready for use.
When comparing KEMP Technologies VLM with alternative solutions it is important to bear in mind a significant feature. Unlike its cheaper competitors both the VLM-100 and the VLM-1000 are priced with a year’s technical support included in the price. So regardless of how experienced you are in installing load balancers you will have access to internationally recognized top quality support right from the outset, not something to be undervalued from any point of view.
