As company infrastructures now sprawl across several different environments, additional tools need to be added to the portfolio. But adhering to the traditional approach of focusing on individual devices, their health, performance, and availability, only aggravates its downsides; i.e. visibility blind spots, tool disparity, and therewith connected “swivel-chair” management. The problem calls for increased network traffic visibility that does not come at the cost of extra work.

In one of the previous blog posts from the load balancing education series, we discussed the Edge Security Pack functionality to provide an additional layer of security in front of an application workload to ensure that only properly authenticated users can interact with the application. In this role, the LoadMaster acts as a gateway for the application and handles user authentication through a third-party identity provider such as Microsoft Active Directory.

Global Site Load Balancing (GSLB) is an important part of your application infrastructure, but many people don’t understand its benefits. In this post we’ll explain how GSLB works and how LoadMaster GEO can bring big benefits in availability and performance at a fraction of the cost of alternatives.

In the previous blog post, we discussed load balancing essentials and methods of traffic distribution among the real servers. When you publish an application with Kemp LoadMaster you can add lots of extra capabilities on top of the basic load balancing. In this post we’re going to look at ways of securely publishing legacy applications using the LoadMaster Edge Security Pack (ESP) and SSL Acceleration features.

Network anomalies vary in nature. While some of them are easy to understand at first sight, there are anomalies that require investigation before a resolution can be made. The MITRE ATT&CK framework introduced in Kemp Flowmon ADS 11.3 streamlines the analysis process and gives security analyst additional insight by leveraging knowledge of adversaries' techniques explaining network anomalies via the ATT&CK framework point of view.

In this post we’ll review some of the essential ideas in Load Balancing to help you understand how to get the best configuration for your application. Load balancing is an essential part of any application deployment to provide high availability, performance and security. We’ll focus on understanding and selecting scheduling and persistence algorithms and using the new LoadMaster Network Telemetry feature to validate the results.

The Kemp Flowmon Packet Investigator 11.1 is easier to use and covers a broader scope of root-cause analysis scenarios.

The new Kemp Flowmon ADS 11.3 enhances your contextual understanding with built-in knowledge of adversary tactics and techniques described in the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
