FAQs

How accurate are the calculator results?

The calculator matches your inputs against current LoadMaster product specifications and capacity data. Results are a reliable starting point for planning, but there are some assumptions being made. Final deployment may be influenced by factors such as traffic patterns, application type and redundancy requirements. We recommend validating your results with a LoadMaster engineer before purchasing.

Does enabling security features like WAF or SSL offload affect which model is recommended?

Yes. Features such as WAF inspection and SSL/TLS re-encrypt add processing overhead. The calculator accounts for this when matching models to your requirements, which is why enabling security features may shift results toward higher-capacity tiers.

Should I size for my current load or expected future load?

Size for your anticipated peak load, not your current baseline. If you're unsure how to project growth, a LoadMaster engineer can help you model scenarios and identify the most cost-effective path.

Can I deploy LoadMaster in a high-availability (HA) configuration?

Yes. The LoadMaster solution supports High Availability (HA) configurations. If high availability is a requirement, you will generally need two units of the same model. Mention this when you connect with a LoadMaster product expert and they'll help you design the right HA architecture for your environment.

Is there a free trial available?

Yes. LoadMaster Virtual and Cloud editions are available for free trial. You can get started with a free trial here https://www.kemptechnologies.com/vlm-download-hypervisor
