Industry Solutions Overview

For service providers engaged in providing managed hosting, co-location and co-hosting services, the ability to provide profitable, value-added functionality that ensures optimum performance, high-availability and scalability of their customers’ applications is rapidly becoming a necessity, rather than an option. Customers, large and small, have quickly realized that a properly functioning site that is continuously up-and-running, while providing optimum performance, is the key factor to the success of any web and e-commerce application initiative.

Advances in the medical arena are commonplace. E-Healthcare is rapidly becoming one of those advances - so rapid, in fact, that it has caught up to, and moved beyond the “buzz” that surrounded it in the late 1990s. Hospitals are deploying networked applications to compile computer-based patient records, to schedule physicians and facilities throughout the campus, to archive digital images, to support telemedicine programs, and to improve a host of other day-to-day operations [more...]

The network needs of today's K-12, colleges and university campuses are continually growing. Whether increasing the efficiency of online student registration and content access, or improving communications between faculty, staff, and students, educational institutions are looking to optimize their current assets, while introducing new applications and services. To achieve this requires the capacity to accommodate peak loads, fast end-user response time, and a method to easily secure information and applications while on a limited budget. To address these challenges, network administrators need a solution that leverages existing network resources to provide increased capacity, while providing an architecture that enables cost-effective and flexible scaling as the demand for increased capacity grows.

KEMP LoadMaster combines versatility with ease-of-use to speed deployment of the complete portfolio of advanced messaging applications and protocols used by Exchange 2010, including Outlook Web Access, Outlook Anywhere, ActiveSync, SMTP, POP3 and IMAP and RPC Client Access (Native MAPI). With built-in SSL acceleration and/or overlay, the LoadMaster offloads a key source of CPU drain to improve the capacity of Client Access Servers. Layer 7 healthchecking at the LoadMaster ensures that should one of the servers become inaccessible, the load balancer will take that server off-line, while automatically re-routing and reconnecting users to other functioning servers. Not quite ready to make the move to Exchange 2010? KEMP LoadMasters integrate seamlessly with earlier versions of Exchange as well. [more...]

Today, according to even the most conservative estimates, the number of people and businesses that purchase goods and services on the Internet is well into the hundreds of millions. Several leading experts are estimating the dollar value of these transactions to be in several hundreds of billions. As a small or medium business (SMB) joining the e-commerce world, you face a unique set of technical and business challenges associated with the design and management of your web and application infrastructure. In terms of technology, inadequate server capacity, scalability concerns, fault-tolerant reliability, as well as the increasing size and complexity of e-Commerce applications continue to place added pressures on your already over-burdened IT staff and budget.  [more...]

As the demand for web-enabled, resource-intensive distributed applications continues to grow, developers and designers are challenged to provide for increased productivity, performance and scalability. Traditionally, the way to address these application demands was to employ software load balancing based on distributed object middleware. While load balancing middleware is used to improve scalability and overall system throughput in distributed applications, its functionality is fairly simplistic, since it is geared only for specific use-cases and environments. These limitations make it difficult to use the same load balancing service for anything other than the distributed application it was originally designed for. [more...]
