When setting up a Microsoft Exchange infrastructure you need to consider the network topology (or network layout). This includes servers, switches, firewalls, and hardware LoadBalancers.
This being a typical beginner question we will explain a few simple examples, discuss potential difficulties and advanced setups. High Availability is a must in this context. Therefore the examples will include two LoadBalancers (“High Availability pair” or “HA-cluster”).

After some really technical articles, I would like to take a step back and talk about some fundamental questions: How can I use Load Balancers for my (web based or other) applications? Which are the criteria for a good product?
Actually these are not quite the right questions. In reality we need to solve an existing problem and not find a problem for an existing tool. So it’s more like this:

SSL-Acceleration is one of the biggest advantages of a suitable Load Balancer – for many users actually the principal purpose. But does it work in any case? Yes it does, if some requirements are fulfilled. First let’s have a look at what SSL-Acceleration means.

The WTS 2008 “Remote Desktop Gateway Server” (a component of the Microsoft Terminal Server 2008) offers Terminal Services for browser access.
The KEMP LoadMaster can play three different roles:
-
“Standard” HTTPS Load Balancer up-stream of multiple Gateway Servers
-
HTTPS-HTTPS Bridge
-
HTTPS-HTTP Bridge
As I have just seen a case where a KEMP customer has implemented exactly this setup, I would like to explain the last two roles.

Products and Comparison
Since its 2008 Version, Microsoft’s Terminal Server is recognised in many corporate environments of all sizes as an interesting solution for Thin Client Computing – with all expectations towards cost saving and productivity connected with it.
The KEMP LoadMaster integrates exceptionally well into such environments. It enables the implementation of solutions not only for Load Balancing on multiple servers, but also for reliable High Availability, Persistency and intelligent user allocation - thus saving a lot of time and money.
