Benefits of Kemp for Nutanix deployments
Our offering on Nutanix is complete and has feature parity with other our other cloud platform solutions. The benefits include:
- Elastic scaling – the number of ADC instances in use can be flexed up and down in real time as required based on network load.
- Metered licensing – specific ADC instances do not need to be individually licensed or sized in advance. Costs are metered and billed monthly based on traffic throughput.
- Intelligent content switching and routing – load balancing of network traffic based on many different algorithms to provide a resilient and adaptive application infrastructure.
- Health checking – application server monitoring and health checking with alerting and intelligent load balancing to prevent overload or service outages.
- Security – application and network layer packet inspection to identify suspicious traffic with IP blacklisting to prevent attacks from compromised domains and network nodes.
- TLS Offloading – LoadMaster can take over TLS certificate encryption to offload this resource intensive task from application servers. SSL is also supported, but TLS is recommended.
- A comprehensive Web Application Firewall with updated reputation data daily is available for deployment on LoadMaster instances.
