Kemp introduced enhanced automation and predictive analytics capabilities that further simplify the deployment and ongoing management of its load balancing and application delivery controller (ADC) software across decentralized, multi-cloud environments.
To align with the company’s vision to transform the end-to-end lifecycle of application delivery for enterprises and service providers, Kemp has also refreshed its brand identity.
Intelligence gathered from more than 60,000 Kemp global application deployments indicates that 48% of organizations see as many as nine incidents per week that, if gone undetected, could impact end-user application experience. In addition, Kemp finds 61% of AX related events are caused by application capacity issues such as failing or degrading application servers. The Kemp 360 AX fabric is designed to proactively solve this for enterprises and service providers.
“Our DNA from the beginning has been about building invisible technology with a visible impact,” said Ray Downes, CEO of Kemp. “Now, Kemp is taking application delivery to the next level. As workload requirements change due to cloud and DevOps trends, we’re alongside our customers every step of the way, providing new levels of automation and frictionless deployment options to help them optimize and streamline application delivery with increased efficiency.”
Since 2000, Kemp has consistently innovated to help customers ensure continuous application availability and security with many “firsts,” including, virtualized load balancers, app-centric software-defined networking (SDN) integrations, the per-app ADC deployment model, and metered licensing. In this next phase, Kemp is extending the capabilities of its Kemp 360 AX fabric to further simplify end-to-end application delivery lifecycle management:
Day 0 – Kemp Virtual LoadMaster and 360 Central enables customers to streamline initial ecosystem assessment and deployment of fast and agile per-app ADC/load balancing for DevOps and traditional operations use cases. Central simplifies infrastructure transition planning by providing automated assessment reports that highlight peak performance, throughput, and utilization across F5 Big-IP, AWS Elastic Load Balancer, Nginx, and HAproxy load balancers, and the applications those tools are in front of.
Day 1 – Central simplifies per-app load balancer deployment and ongoing configuration management with automated zero-touch provisioning. The ability to define desired state of your load balancer estate combined with deep cloud platform API integration enables administrators to shorten time-to-market for new application services through auto-deployment.
Day 2 – To address scale, complexity and AX issue management associated with day 2 operations, Kemp 360 Vision® increases observability of distributed workload ecosystems. By intelligently correlating data points across ADC instances, the underlying network, and backend applications, Vision provides early detection of developing AX issues and provides actionable insight to operators on possible causes before customers experience problems. By operating across, network, application, third-party load balancer and security domains, Vision is able to leverage the intelligence from tens-of-thousands of global application deployments to help customers prevent issues and shorten time-to-detection and resolution.
The Kemp 360 AX fabric, including the extensive family of virtual and hardware LoadMasters, 360 Central and 360 Vision, is available from Kemp and its global network of channel partners.

In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact.

The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
