Case Study: Capgemini achieves scalable multi-tenancy and superior load balancing with A10 Networks' Thunder Series

Capgemini Solves Multi-Tenancy, Load Balancing and Virtual Context Problems with Thunder Series from A10 Networks

Capgemini, a global IT services and consulting firm, needed to support multiple customers from a shared multi-tenant data center but was running into limits with its existing Cisco ACE load balancers and virtual context capacity. With customers under pressure to cut costs and streamline operations, Capgemini required a multi- tenancy-ready, high-performance load‑balancing solution that was easy to deploy and manage.

Capgemini selected A10 Networks’ Thunder Series, whose abundant Layer 3 Virtualization (L3V) partitions, strong L4/L7 load‑balancing, and familiar GUI/CLI met multi-tenant and scalability needs. The deployment eliminated virtual‑context constraints, delivered excellent price/performance, simplified configuration and management, and provided reliable support and advanced features (SSL offload, WAF, NAT, VRRP) without complex licensing.
