Load Balancing Terminal Services

KEMP Technologies now offers full support for Microsoft Windows Terminal Services (WTS). With the addition of WTS, KEMP delivers a solution that helps organizations best maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of their networks, at an SMB-affordable price point.

With WTS enabled, users are able to maintain persistence as well as perform resource monitoring for Window servers running multiple services. The LoadMaster resource monitoring feature offers useful data on both memory and CPU, ensuring users experience the most efficient load balancing possible on each server.

KEMP is also now able to integrate seamlessly with MS Session Directory - providing a more reliable re-connect when a remote desktop connection to the server is disconnected. While the LoadMaster provides full support for Microsoft's Session Directory, one of the most distinguishing features is its ability to provide RDP-based Layer 7 Persistence. The LoadMaster's Layer 7 Persistence incorporates client session reconnect, which can be utilized without the need for the Session Directory service to be installed.

Additional benefits of WTS include service checking for servers running Microsoft WTS, and extended capabilities for the increasing segment of remote workers. The KEMP product line currently includes four models, the LoadMaster 2000, LoadMaster 2500 , LoadMaster 3500 and LoadMaster 5500 - all four models now come WTS enabled, and include a comprehensive first year warranty and technical support agreement.

Bringing Affordable Server Load Balancing to E-Commerce

Today, according to even the most conservative estimates, the number of people and businesses that purchase goods and services on the Internet is well into hundreds of millions. Several leading experts are estimating the dollar value of these transactions to be in several hundreds of billions.

As a small or medium business (SMB) joining the e-commerce world, you face a unique set of both, technical and business challenges to the design and management of your Internet network infrastructure. In terms of technology, inadequate server capacity, scalability concerns, and fault-tolerant reliability, as well as the increasing size and complexity of E-commerce applications, continue to place added pressures on your already over-burdened IT staff and budget.

A properly functioning site that is continuously up-and-running while providing optimum performance is the key factor to the success of any e-commerce initiative. Users of your site must be provided with a consistently positive experience both, in terms of performance as well as accessibility. Sluggishness in perceived performance or inability to complete a transaction for any reason will invariably cause your users to go elsewhere, with potentially disastrous results to your bottom line.

During the past five years, intelligent server load balancing has emerged as one of the most important technologies in solving the problem of performance and accessibility for e-commerce applications. In its most basic form, the load balancer provides the ability to direct Internet users to the best performing, accessible server. Should one of the servers (or applications on that server) become inaccessible, the load balancer will take that server off-line, while automatically re-routing web users to other functioning servers. In addition, using various load balancing algorithms, an intelligent load balancer can distribute users to servers that offer the best possible performance by dynamically interrogating key server elements such as number of concurrent connections and CPU/memory utilization. To further enhance, and secure, the user experience, more-advanced load balancers also provide SSL acceleration. SSL acceleration in the load balancer enables you to offload the SSL handshake and encryption/decryption processes from the e-commerce application servers. This offloading, dramatically increases the servers performance and decreases the time and costs associated with server's SSL certificate management.

For years, large corporations and institutions with e-commerce initiatives were able to take advantage of server load balancing technology to significantly improve performance, availability and scalability of their sites. However, at an average cost of over $40,000 per each redundant configuration, deploying intelligent server load balancing required fairly deep pockets. For a small or medium sized business, the high cost of acquisition has placed this technology out of reach.

With the introduction of the LoadMaster, KEMP Technologies has radically changed all that. Integrating powerful, stable, full-featured server load balancing with the latest advancements in layer-7 content switching and SSL acceleration technologies, KEMP has created an ideal server load balancing appliance for the small and medium e-commerce business. At a starting price of only € 1.375 that includes 1st year support, the LoadMaster family of products bring affordable, advanced e-commerce technology to the SMB.

Bringing Affordable Server Load Balancing to Higher Education

The network needs of today's K-12, colleges and university campuses are continually growing. Whether increasing the efficiency of online student registration and content access, or improving communications between faculty, staff, and students, institutions are looking to optimize their current assets while rolling out new applications and services. To achieve this requires capacity to accommodate peak loads, fast end-user response time, and a method to easily secure information and applications while on a limited budget. To address these challenges, network administrators need a solution that leverages existing network resources to provide increased capacity without the need for ongoing investment as the network grows.

Deploying high-performance, high-availability web and intranet applications presents a unique set of both, technical and business challenges to the design and management of the underlining network infrastructure. In terms of technology, inadequate server capacity, scalability concerns, and fault-tolerant reliability, as well as the increasing size and complexity of applications, continue to place added pressures on an already over-burdened college and university IT staff and budget.

Ensuring proper functionality of critical applications that are continuously up-and-running while providing optimum performance is the key factor to the success of any web and intranet application initiative. Users of these applications must be provided with a consistently positive experience both, in terms of performance as well as accessibility. Sluggishness in perceived performance or inability to access critical data such as student records and educational content in a timely manner may prove disastrous to the institution.

Bringing Affordable Server Load Balancing to Healthcare

Advances in the medical arena are commonplace. E-Healthcare is rapidly becoming one of those advances - so rapid, in fact, that it has caught up to and moved beyond all the buzz that surrounded it in the late 1990s. Hospitals are deploying networked applications to compile computer-based patient records, to schedule physicians and facilities throughout the campus, to archive digital images, to support telemedicine programs, and to improve a host of other day-to-day operations.

In hospitals all around the world, real benefits are being achieved as these e-Healthcare applications have become more powerful and sophisticated, and the applications infrastructure supporting them has become more efficient and cost-effective. Costs are being reduced. Processes are being streamlined. Business operations are becoming more efficient. Patients are receiving more immediate and more effective care. More than anything else, e-Healthcare simply improves the way hospitals work.

Deploying high-performance, high-availability e-healthcare applications presents a unique set of technical and business challenges to the design and management of the underlining network infrastructure. In terms of technology, inadequate server capacity, scalability concerns, and fault-tolerant reliability, as well as the increasing size and complexity of e-healthcare applications, continue to place added pressures on an already over-burdened IT staff and budget.

Ensuring proper functionality and availability of critical applications that must be continuously up-and-running while providing optimum performance is the key factor to the success of any e-healthcare initiative.
