KEMP LoadMaster XHC55-NG Load Balancer

Performance and Connectivity for high-volume environments

---

 

Overview

 

The LoadMaster LM-XHC55-NG load balancer provides the most complete high-performance application delivery platform with dual power supplies and RAID storage for enhanced resilience. The integrated hardware acceleration delivers up to 55,000 SSL transactions per second and an overall system throughput of 55 Gbit/sec. With 8 SFP+ ports, 4 SFP28 ports, 4 QSFP28 ports and two 1Gbit Ethernet ports, this load balancer can easily integrate with the most complex and demanding network environments.

 

Scalable high-performance application delivery

Progress Kemp LoadMaster hardware load balancers offer the scalability, feature depth and security required to enable resilient delivery of a wide range of application workloads for organizations of all sizes and capabilities. LoadMaster simplifies application delivery with easy management via web UI, API and Kemp 360 Central with a compelling TCO and outstanding customer support.

The Benefits of Kemp LoadMaster

Resilient

LoadMaster can enhance application availability and resilience with the option for Highly Available (HA) paring of appliances and geographic server load balancing (GSLB) removing single points of failure in the data center and across data centers. Application server health checks enable redirection of traffic to healthy servers and the optional Kemp 360 Vision service provides 24×7 proactive support to ensure continuous application availability.

Secure

As the access point for applications, LoadMaster provides authentication and attack mitigation services to prevent malicious and unauthorized access to application resources. The Edge Security Pack (ESP) enables pre-authentication of clients (LDAP, OIDC, Active Directory, RADIUS and SAML) while the Web Application Firewall (WAF) offers continuous application-level protection through OWASP CRS with updated reputation data daily.

Easily Managed

LoadMaster appliances can be managed via the intuitive web UI, via API (PowerShell/RESTful) or via Kemp 360 Central. Application templates simplify deployment and optimization, while the API provides an easy way to automate configuration and management tasks whether through DevOps toolsets or operational frameworks.

Scalable

As application delivery demands grow, LoadMaster can scale by clustering multiple appliances together into a single load balancer entity. As well as scaling to meet increasing capacity requirements, clustering also provides resilience as the failure of a cluster member is gracefully handled with remaining members continuing to provide service.

Low Cost of Ownership

LoadMaster delivers performance and functionality at a compelling price point when measured against the key metrics of SSL transactions per second, application throughput and active connections. Coupled with the low operational overheads delivered by features such as application templates and our world class customer support services, organizations can achieve significant TCO reductions on application delivery.

Fully Featured

LoadMaster includes a comprehensive set of features to enable deployment of application delivery and interfaces and API to integrate with existing authentication, logging, management, and provisioning systems.

Support Subscriptions

LoadMaster support subscriptions offer flexibility, simplicity, and value to meet your application delivery requirements and challenges. Support subscriptions are annual and can be upgraded and downgraded as application delivery demands change for maximum flexibility. The tiers are mapped to common customer challenges and requirements, simplifying the task of selecting the appropriate feature set and support levels. This also offers additional value of up to 40% when compared to individually selecting features.
