Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features

Pros and Cons

"Exchange load balancing and reverse proxy for Skype for Business are key features."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Kemp Virtual LoadMaster for Microsoft Exchange load balancing, Skype for Business reverse proxy, and Oracle Forms load balancing.

How has it helped my organization?

For Skype for Business, we were using Microsoft TMG which is now end-of-support. Then we tried to use IIS as a reverse proxy but that feature was not suitable, especially on video calls where there were many issues. When we started using KEMP, we didn't face a single connectivity or delay issue on Skype for Business.

Previously, when we had maintenance on Exchange Servers, we had to take downtime. Also, whenever there was a glitch in the network our cluster got shifted to the secondary node. With KEMP, we don’t have to take any downtime for maintenance nor do we face any Outlook disconnect issue when there is a network interruption.

What is most valuable?

The load balancing for Exchange and reverse proxy for Skype are the features I like about it so far.

What needs improvement?

Reporting and monitoring need serious improvement.
