The LoadMaster combines versatility with ease-of-use to speed deployment of the complete portfolio of advanced messaging applications and protocols used by Microsoft Exchange 2013 (Exchange 2013), including Outlook on the Web, MAPI/HTTP, Outlook Anywhere (OA), Exchange ActiveSync (EAS), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol version 4 (IMAP4) and Office Online Server (OOS). With built-in SSL acceleration and/or overlay, the LoadMaster offloads a key source of CPU drain to improve the capacity of the Exchange 2013 infrastructure. Layer 7 health checking at the LoadMaster ensures that if one of the client access components becomes inaccessible, the load balancer will take that component offline for that server, while automatically re-routing and reconnecting users to other functioning servers.

The entire LoadMaster product family, including the Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) supports Exchange 2013, and includes a comprehensive first year warranty and technical support agreement.
