Welcome to CloudStack user mailing list,
To be honest, I've not heard of Kemp, but did research just now and it
sounds interesting.
As it stands, there isn't anything that i'm aware of that will work with
Kemp and CloudStack natively. We have typical LB vendors like Citrix
NetScaler, BigIP F5, Brocades and plenty of other providers, but nothing
that would do load balancing with Kemp yet. There were talks of using
nginx as LB as well, not certain how far it got.
Perhaps you can try dev mailing list to see if anyone has any experience
or plans on supporting it. Alternatively, you can place a feature
request, but if demand is low, it will have the least priority. What
generally happens as well - is vendor writting support for CloudStack
and donating it to Apache Software Foundation. This is usually driven by
demand from the customers.
What many other companies do, is use their own dashboard with cloudstack
engine behind the scenes, this way they can also tie in custom solutions
including something like Kemp LB or any other technology.
Last but not least you can contract someone to write a support for it,
you can choose to donate it or not - but it would mean you have to
continuously maintain the code base on your own, if you were to upgrade
to the next version.
Regards
ilya
PS: most of the folks who are now using CloudStack initially tried
OpenStack and for obvious reasons you've mentioned - made the right choice.

Hi
Can I use Kemp LM2600 for load balancing VMs in cloudstack.
I was looking to install Openstack but struggling so want to try cloudstack
but have these LBs as I require SSL offloading.
