Topic 2: Microsoft Exchange and Load Balancing – Why Do I Care???
KEMP Technologies (www.kemptechnologies.com)
There are powerful reasons that deem it load balancing a practical route in many deployments.
While many in the past have thought load balancers aka ADCs to be a cost-prohibitive
luxury to their environment, companies today such as KEMP Technologies have put it in
the reach of many to bolster their environment against the unexpected.

Jason Dover joined the KEMP Technologies team earlier this year as a Pre-Sales Engineer.
Jason designs and architects application and site load balancing solutions for the
KEMP Technologies client base and works with the BDM team on forging strong relationships
with partners and resellers by demonstrating the technical value of the KEMP offering.
Prior to joining KEMP, Jason spent 5 years working as a Messaging Admin and Engineer in
the finance industry in the NYC-area designing and supporting Microsoft Exchange,
Microsoft Office Communications Server and Blackberry Enterprise Server deployments
along with various other MDM solutions. Earlier on in his career, Jason worked for
an NY-based MSP providing engineering and administrative consultation for the various
technologies utilized by SMBs in the Northeast. Jason possesses diverse knowledge on
the Microsoft platform and related technologies.

KEMP leads the industry in driving the price/performance value proposition for
application delivery and load balancing to levels that our customers can afford.
Our products’ versatile and powerful architecture provide the highest value,
while enabling our customers to optimize their businesses that rely on Internet-based
infrastructure to conduct business with their customers, employees and partners.


Next Month Topic's will include (November 7th 2012 @ 1 Cambridge Center)

Topic 1: What is “SSD Caching” and can it hurt me?
Solid State Drives can deliver high performance, but their prices still break the budget.
SSD caching is a lower-cost method to improve application performance by taking advantage
of fewer Solid State Drives to improve I/O. This session goes over SSD performance
characteristics, best practices and risks of SSD deployment, as well as how SSD
caching works and whether it can improve your performance.
Speaker: TBD :Velobit
Sponsor: www.Velobit.com
VeloBit provides plug & play SSD caching software that dramatically accelerates
applications at a remarkably low cost.
