Case Study: Earth Class Mail achieves SSL encryption/re‑encryption and high-performance AJAX web mail with A10 Networks' A10 ADC

Earth Class Mail Deploys SSL Encryption/Re-Encryption for AJAX-Powered Web Mail Applications

Earth Class Mail, a Seattle-based online postal-mail service used by customers in 175+ countries, digitizes incoming mail and injects it into electronic workflows to cut document lifecycle costs. The company’s business-critical AJAX web mail applications process millions of XML messages daily and required a new load balancer that could perform SSL encryption and re-encryption on the backend to protect customer privacy—capabilities their previous appliance lacked.

Earth Class Mail deployed A10 Networks’ Application Delivery Controller for its SSL re-encryption, price/performance and support, and leveraged A10’s REST-style aXAPI for simpler integration plus aFleX scripting for advanced Layer 7 traffic control to add and remove servers by load. The deployment optimized performance for high-volume web applications, streamlining document management, boosting employee productivity and reducing delivery costs.
