Best of all, we offer a free, no-obligation trial of all Kemp products so that you can experience first-hand how easy it is to secure and scale application delivery across your entire network.

How Kemp Load Balancers Make Things Better

If your enterprise is making the transition from a legacy PBX system to a modern solution like Microsoft Lync, you will require load balancing in order to ensure performance and availability of software based services such as web conferencing, video, IM and integrated data systems. Load balancing involves the distribution of traffic across the entire network of Lync servers, so that if any of the servers became slow or overloaded, the load balancers are standing ready to redirect to other servers, ensuring a quality user experience and guaranteed uptime. CCG considers the Kemp range of load balancing products to be an essential adjunct to any UC system, saving our customer’s time and money while giving them the peace of mind that comes with the industry’s most trusted and reliable service.

How Kemp Load Balancers Save You Money

High traffic networks including Reddit, Tumblr, Twitter and Google have been able to manage their growth to epic proportions using load-balancing and proxy server systems on TCP and HTTP based applications that operate simultaneously in layer 4 and layer 7. When managing millions of requests at any given time, the object is to avoid having any one point in the network that is important enough that its failure will cause the whole system to crash. With load balancer integration, traffic is distributed across multiple servers, so if one becomes slow or inaccessible, traffic is dynamically re-routed to other functioning servers, resulting in guaranteed uptime and enhanced user experience. Additionally, adding a load balancer to your UC environment will ensure minimal latency in application response while reducing the number of data trips needed to complete a request, resulting in 100% availability, anytime, anywhere and on any device.

While some infrastructures may indicate a preference for a hardware-based load balancer, others may be cloud or virtually deployed, providing access to unlimited scalability should your enterprise be headed for exponential growth. These are all clear arguments in favor of adding a load-balancing solution in general, but CCG always recommends Kemp load balancing solutions in the context of our larger implementations. Kemp products are incredibly affordable and easy to manage, and deployment is as seamless and worry-free as can be. A clear choice for anyone running a Microsoft environment (Lync or Exchange), Kemp provides application specific configurations that save time and money, allowing you to pass along significant savings to your customers along with the enhanced services, functionality and security it provides. For those using Microsoft Lync, Kemp also fills the role of a reverse proxy since the discontinuation of Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG).

Whether our recommendation is to use Kemp’s hardware, virtual, software, cloud or bare metal load balancing solution, each solution is fully capable of simplifying the integration of critical server roles and protocols, and is certified for use by both Microsoft Lync and Exchange.
