FAQs
What is the difference between a cloud load balancer and a hardware load balancer?
Hardware load balancers are physical devices deployed on-premises, while cloud load balancers are software-based solutions provided through a cloud provider’s infrastructure.
What are the LoadMaster options available for Cloud?
LoadMaster is available within the public Cloud providers' Marketplace stores and as a Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) for use if you are building a Cloud-based infrastructure using assets outside of the Marketplace options.
When should I choose a cloud load balancer over a hardware load balancer?
Cloud-based load balancers are convenient for distributing workloads across multiple cloud computing resources. They are easy to deploy, highly scalable and reduce your operational burden as cloud-based load balancers are maintained by the provider.
Why should I choose LoadMaster over the Cloud providers' load balancer?
Cloud provider load balancers are basic offerings that do not provide the power and flexibility required for modern application architectures and deployment models. Kemp LoadMaster is feature-rich with better security options and higher performance.
What security features are supported by Cloud LoadMaster?
LoadMaster offers Web Application Firewall (WAF), DDoS protection and mitigation, TLS/SSL offloading, integration with Active Directory, RADIUS, SAML and multi-factor authentication, and API security.
Does LoadMaster secure multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments?
The LoadMaster solution provides a consistent interface and security policies across cloud platforms like AWS and Azure. The shared interface simplifies management for hybrid cloud deployments, reducing complexity and operational overhead. LoadMaster cloud cross-platform functionality streamlines compliance with industry standards like GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS and others, helping organizations meet regulatory requirements.
What is the difference between cloud-native and cloud-agnostic load balancers?
A cloud-native load balancer is designed to work with a specific cloud platform and its services. Cloud-native load balancers are ideal for simpler cloud-hosted apps. A cloud-agnostic load balancer is designed to work consistently across multiple environments and cloud providers. These load balancers are ideal for mission-critical applications requiring consistent security, visibility, and traffic policies across environments.
