OpenStack adoption is growing rapidly—spreading from the service provider space into an increasing number of priority vertical markets—as it enables faster onboarding of innovations to the private cloud, reduces data center licensing costs, and escapes vendor exclusivity, all key factors fueling this trend. KEMP's built-in OpenStack plugin makes the elements that secure and accelerate application services available through the Neutron Software-Defined Network within OpenStack. The ability to deploy and coordinate these elements across virtual machines or bare-metal servers gives customers the flexibility and control to meet the needs of individual applications. KEMP's LoadMaster LBaaS plugin enhances OpenStack private cloud deployments by enabling application-centric services that improve quality of experience and security for published workflows.

“KEMP is committed to giving developers working in companies that are building agile environments the ability to accelerate their business operations,” says Eduardo Garcia, Director for the Southern Europe Region at KEMP Technologies. “With our focus on innovating for the Software-Defined Data Center, our OpenStack customers can benefit from our investments in the latest networking technologies.”.

KEMP LoadMaster is a Layer 2-7 load balancing/application distribution controller (ACD) solution. Flexible deployment options are available across a wide range of hypervisors and cloud platforms, as well as dedicated KEMP appliances and third-party bare metal servers. LoadMaster provides enterprise-level application integration and service acceleration that intelligently directs user traffic to help applications perform better in on-demand, virtualized, or hybrid cloud data center architectures.
