[https://kemptechnologies.com/virtual-load-balancer/ Kemp LoadMaster] is a load balancer that works with a myriad of different technologies, for example, S3 on Ceph. A load balancer is used to balance the load between systems that provide the same resource. Other alternatives include DNS round-robin and HAproxy. A virtual interface is created that handles the requests to real servers.

* Standard Options - These options are specific to the virtual service. The ‘Scheduling Method’ can be changed to decide how the LoadMaster handles requests
* SSL Properties - SSL can be enabled so that LoadMaster handles it, but you will be required to supply a certificate that matches the services provided
* Advanced Properties - These options are also specific to the virtual service
* ESP Options - ESP is the ‘Edge Security Pack’ from Kemp
* Real Servers - These are real servers that LoadMaster uses to handle requests. The virtual service requires real servers to function correctly
