Charlie: Hi, my name's Charlie. I'm a Systems Administrator. I give LoadMaster a five out of five. For more videos like this, click below. We considered using an open source Linux based solution, but we ended up with LoadMaster because it was recommended as a better product for the servers that we're using it for. We ended up choosing LoadMaster, primarily, because it was recommended by the servers that we're using it for. The company is one of our critical server providers, our on-premise server providers, and they recommend it because it's rock solid, works without any issues. It's one of those products that doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but it doesn't need to. All it's doing is load balancing for critical servers, and it just works. LoadMaster was super easy to set up. It was a virtual appliance, it works with our VMware setup. And we installed the virtual appliance, spun it up, set the IP addresses, configured the two servers that are load balanced behind it, and we're off the races. I'd definitely recommend LoadMaster. It's been rock solid for us. It's one of those things that doesn't have to do a lot. It's doing one very specific function, and we have had zero problems with it. Once we set it up, works like a champ. Haven't had to do any support or maintenance with it, beyond working with the usual stuff like web certificates, and of course, firmware updates. And all that stuff through Kemp's support page has been super easy. It's been one of the least maintenance requiring servers that we've ever used.
