Multi-Tenant LoadMaster has an Operating System (OS) running a hypervisor. The Multi-Tenant LoadMaster does not perform any load balancing – it handles requirements of the “client” Virtual Network Functions (VNFs). VNFs are the individual tenant LoadMasters that are deployed within the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster.

A package Virtual LoadMaster (VLM) template will be provided by Progress Kemp which contains the relevant firmware. This package can be installed on the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster. VLMs can then be started and configured from the Multi-Tenant LoadMaster.

When a VNF is no longer needed, it can be deleted.

Each VLM is independent, so its disk space is also independent. The current version of the LoadMaster can require up to 16 GB per VLM. A VLM requires at least 512MB of memory.
