(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Load balancing technology developer KEMP Technologies announced on Monday it is now offering its new Virtual LoadMaster Exchange for Microsoft Hyper-V.
The new virtual appliance application delivery controller is designed for Microsoft Exchange 2010 running on Hyper-V machines.
The solution allows businesses to easily establish high-availability and redundancy for Client Access Servers and other critical Microsoft Exchange 2010 Server roles.
The VLM-Exchange for MS Hyper-V transforms a company's virtual machines into "fully-featured, production-capable ADCs," according to the press release.
The product is the software-based solution of the recently launched LoadMaster-Exchange for Microsoft Exchange 2010.
As with the hardware version, it includes features such as SSL offload, caching, compression, content switching and Exchange Server affinity.
The solution'sadvanced Exchange application health checking and the ability to be deployed in a redundant, active/hot-standby configuration ensure high availability of Microsoft Exchange 2010.
"For businesses running MS Exchange in a virtual environment," said Peter Melerud, vice president of product management at KEMP, "we recognize that they aren’t necessarily familiar with load balancing technology and how to optimally deploy and configure its various features and options so we designed the VLM-Exchange to be simple and quickly deployed through pre-configured Virtual Services that are already optimized to support the most common Exchange 2010 Services."
The VLM-Exchange for MS Hyper-V is preconfigured out-of-the-box for four virtual services supporting RPC Client Access, Hub/Edge/SMTP, and HTTPS-based services such as Outlook Web Access, Outlook Anywhere and ActiveSync.
The product has a simplified interface for straightforward management and administration so it is easy to customize certain capabilities and traffic management policies for specific Exchange 2010 services.
The LoadMaster VLM-Exchange is now available for shipping and has an MSRP of PLEASE CALL. Those individuals who are interested in trying it out download a demo here.
