KEMP 360 Central is a centralized management, orchestration, and monitoring application that enables the administration of deployed LoadMaster instances.

Use KEMP 360 Central to perform administrative tasks on each LoadMaster instance. This provides ease of administration because multiple LoadMasters can be administered in one place, rather than accessing each LoadMaster individually.

1.1 Document Purpose

The purpose of this document is to provide step-by-step instructions on deploying KEMP 360 Central with Microsoft Hyper-V.

1.2 Intended Audience

This document is intended for anyone who needs more information about deploying KEMP 360 Central with Microsoft Hyper-V.
