Making high-performance server load balancers and application delivery switches affordable for Alteon customers impacted by Nortel bankruptcy filing
YAPHANK, N.Y., Jan. 22, 2009 — KEMP Technologies, a leader in affordable server load balancer appliances and application delivery controllers, today announced it will be offering a trade-in program for Alteon customers impacted or simply wary after Nortel's recent bankruptcy filing. As the industry's forerunner in driving the price/performance value proposition for application delivery and load balancing to levels that small-to-medium and mid-size enterprise customers can afford, KEMP's program offers a competitive trade-in credit towards the purchase of the Kemp's LoadMaster 3500 (LM-3500) application delivery controller.
"High-functioning datacenter application delivery controllers are critical not only to today's large enterprises but to the SMB and small enterprises as well," says Kevin Mahon, President of KEMP. "Our goal from day one has been to make high performance affordable and in today's economic climate, the need is inherently growing."
KEMP's LoadMaster 3500 is an advanced application delivery controller with Layer 7 content switching and integrated ASIC-based SSL acceleration. The LoadMaster 3500 gives IT administrators greater control, and enables them to easily adapt to network changes by providing a resource optimization layer in front of applications and servers. The LoadMaster 3500 can support up to 1000 servers, 2.7Gbps throughput, 4 million concurrent connections, over 80,000 http requests per second and delivers up to 3,000 SSL TPS.
"There are many competitors seeing an opportunity after Nortel's announcement," says Mahon, "but KEMP's LoadMaster addresses those not only concerned with high performance but who also have a need for an affordable solution. That's why we are offering such an aggressive trade-in program. "
