Remote Desktop Services provides a way for users to gain access to Windows applications from any location and a variety of devices from both inside and outside the corporate firewall. KEMP’s LoadMaster helps to improve RDS deployments by providing high-speed load balancing, content switching, data compression, content caching and SSL offload/acceleration.
The LoadMaster’s application-level awareness of RDS communication flows ensures that these connections are treated properly and users get the best experience possible. With RDS functions enabled on LoadMaster users are able to maintain persistence even in the absence of a Session Broker or Connection Broker. Adaptive agent-based load balancing monitors resource consumption on RD Session Hosts to ensure that servers are not overloaded with connections. This is determined based on the tasks being completed in each remote desktop instance as opposed to strictly the number of connections to a host, helping to ensure that users performing resource-intensive tasks get the resources they need.
The LoadMaster was the first load balancer to deliver RDP-based Layer 7 load balancing and client session reconnect. KEMP’s solution helps organizations maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their networks even when the application requirements are complex.
All LoadMasters include a comprehensive first year of 5x10 technical support and start at just under $2,000. To learn more about how LoadMaster can help to keep your Remote Desktop deployment highly performing and available Contact KEMP.
