The LoadMaster™ 5600 is the ideal high-performance platform for secure delivery of applications with a web application firewall, intrusion detection and support for a wide range of authentication schemes. The web application firewall (WAF) greatly simplifies secure deployment of applications such as Microsoft® Exchange, SAP® and Oracle® and the optional Application Firewall Pack (AFP) provides daily rule updates to maximize protection against emerging threats. The integrated IPS and pre-authentication ensure continuous protection from network level and brute-force attacks.
The LoadMaster™ 5600 also greatly simplifies deployment and operation with application templates and a comprehensive RESTful API with Java™ and PowerShell libraries. The core load balancing functionality supports multiple persistence and traffic distribution schemes to ensure the best quality of experience for subscribers.
With the option to deploy as a highly available pair and use geographic server load balancing (GSLB), the LoadMaster™ 5600 greatly simplifies application availability challenges with automatic failover between appliances and between data centers.
