1 Intro
Kemp Loadmaster "Free VLM" Appliance is available for free with some limitations even for your business.
It's a hardened Linux distribution based on HA-Proxy and some additional software.
The price is fair and it might be a good choice compared to "HA-Proxy Aloha" which does not offer such a "free edition VPS"
If you deploy to VMware, there is an optimized Image ready for download.
But if you decide to deploy to an opensource hypervisor, you get a raw image.
That means that you get a 17GB disk file with 171MB data in it!
