You See the Problem. Now Prevent It.
You already monitor your infrastructure with Progress WhatsUp Gold. Now add intelligent application delivery with Progress Kemp LoadMaster load balancing solution — and move from reactive alerting to more proactive actions through automated traffic management.

From Visibility to Autonomous Control
WhatsUp Gold network monitoring tells you what's wrong. The LoadMaster solution minimizes the likelihood of similar issues — with intelligent traffic distribution, automated failover, and built-in application security.
Close the Loop on Performance
Progress® WhatsUp® Gold identifies issues → LoadMaster dynamically distributes and optimizes traffic in real time.
Scale Without Friction
Pooled licensing enables on-demand capacity. Spin up virtual load balancers in minutes, scale bandwidth from a single console.
Built-in Security at the Delivery Layer
Web Application Firewall (WAF) mitigates risks against OWASP Top 10 threats. Geo-blocking and IP reputation built in.
Actionable Insights to Execution
LoadMaster health checks + telemetry make your monitoring data actionable — not just informational.
What LoadMaster Adds to Your Stack
Everything you need to move from monitoring to control — without the complexity or cost of legacy ADCs.
Advanced Layer 4-7 Load Balancing
Intelligent traffic distribution across backend servers using least-connection, weighted, and adaptive scheduling methods. Ensure optimal resource utilization automatically.
Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB)
Multi-site, multi-cloud traffic management for always-on application delivery. Route users to the closest healthy data center automatically.
Web Application Firewall (WAF)
OWASP Top 10 protection, custom rule tuning, geo-blocking, and IP reputation — all built into the delivery layer. No separate appliance needed.
LoadMaster 360 Observability
SaaS-based dashboards for application performance, certificate lifecycle management, WAF insights, and user experience metrics — all in one place.
Pooled Subscription Licensing
One bandwidth pool. Unlimited virtual LoadMasters. Scale up, scale down, or decommission — all managed through LoadMaster 360 with zero hardware dependency.

Native WhatsUp Gold Integration
LoadMaster's built-in network telemetry exports enriched IPFIX data (RTT, server response time) directly to WUG NTA+ — creating a closed-loop monitoring and control system.
Turn Alerts Into Automated Resilience
Here's how WhatsUp Gold customers use LoadMaster load balancing to close the gap between "seeing the problem" and "fixing it."
"WhatsUp Gold Alerts on High CPU — LoadMaster Reroutes Traffic Automatically"
The WhatsUp Gold network monitoring solution detects a backend server at 90%+ CPU. The LoadMaster solution health checks simultaneously detect degraded response times and stop sending new connections to that server — before users are impacted.
"Reduce Downtime Risk During Maintenance Windows"
Gracefully drain connections from a server before patching. The LoadMaster solution redistributes traffic to healthy nodes while the WhatsUp Gold solution confirms the maintenance window completes successfully.
"increase Defenses at the Edge Before Threats Reach Your Apps"
LoadMaster WAF helps blocks SQL injection and XSS attempts at the delivery layer. WhatsUp Gold NTA+ provides the network context to identify whether it's an isolated probe or a coordinated attack.
"Spin Up Capacity in Minutes, Not Weeks"
Traffic spike incoming? Deploy a new virtual LoadMaster from your pooled license, allocate bandwidth, and start balancing — all in under 5 minutes. No hardware procurement. No downtime.
LoadMaster vs. Legacy ADCs
Enterprise-grade application delivery without the enterprise-grade price tag or complexity.
