Since the .com crash, most load balancing/SSL accelerator vendors have abandoned the entry-level market in favor of high-priced appliances and switches. This left a large void in the
load balancing and content switching market. First-time buyers, such as the small-to-medium business (SMB), were not able to find adequate, high-value products that met their needs, and that were priced within their financial means.
However, that has all changed with KEMP Technologies' introduction of the LoadMaster. Integrating powerful, stable, full-featured server load balancing with layer-7 content switching, SSL acceleration, application front-end (AFE) and security, KEMP has created an ideal family of products for the SMB market.

Solutions
The LoadMaster family has applications for many Industries, including the following:
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.
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.
Managed Hosting, Co-Location, ASP
For ISPs engaged in providing co-location,
co-hosting and ASP services, ability to provide profitable, value-added functionality that ensures
optimum performance, high-availability and scalability of their customers' applications is rapidly becoming a necessity, rather then an option.
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.
Application/Software Development
As the demand for web-enabled, resource-intensive distributed applications continues to grow, developers and designers are challenged to provide for increased productivity, performance and scalability. Traditionally, the way to address these application demands is to employ
software load balancing based on distributed object middleware.
