Azure Load Balancer Features Guide

While the Azure Cloud provides many additional components and services beyond what is offered by the Azure Load Balancer some basic load balancing capabilities, Kemp’s LoadMaster VLM for Azure has additional and enhanced features and capabilities provides a rich set of integrated functionality, easily configured and managed via the Web User Interface.

The same set of capabilities are available when LoadMaster, as an appliance or virtual machine, is used on premises. Having a common interface across all environments is a big advantage and provides a simpler, consistent management experience when deploying hybrid or heterogeneous cloud environments.
