LoadMaster enables scalable and highly available application deployments with various scheduling methods, application level health checking, intelligent content switching, and SSL/ TLS acceleration.
An intuitive and easy-to-use web user interface helps to simplify the management of application delivery services for complex environments whether these be in private, public, or hybrid clouds. API access allows for seamless integration with modern orchestration and automation frameworks. Comprehensive Layer 7 ADC functionality in a virtual package provides customers with the needed flexibility for today's demanding and dynamic Enterprise application environments.

DNS is recommended if you want to either globally distribute application load, or to ensure seamless failover during site outage conditions where static failover processes are not feasible or desirable. Kemp LoadMaster can manage client traffic based on results of monitoring both network and application layers and is largely mandatory where performance and client connectivity is required.
With ECS, monitoring application availability to the data services across all ECS nodes is necessary. This is done using application level queries to the actual data services that handle transactions as opposed to relying only on lower network or transport queries which only report IP and port availability.
