Case Study: Handle Financial cuts operating expenses by one-third and modernizes AWS workloads with A10 Networks' Lightning ADC

Handle Financial - Customer Case Study

Handle Financial, a fintech that enables cash payments at more than 28,000 retail locations, needed to move production workloads into AWS while cutting operating expenses, eliminating on‑premise hardware management, and improving disaster recovery. Their initial reliance on AWS Elastic Load Balancers led to razor‑thin margins and lacked key capabilities—like static IPs and SSL client‑server authentication—needed to meet partner and security requirements.

A10 implemented a cloud‑native A10 Lightning ADC with the Harmony controller (available as SaaS) to provide load balancing, WAF, SSL support, static IPs and real‑time analytics. The solution centralized management, enabled an agile cloud‑based DR plan, restored visibility for partners, and reduced Handle Financial’s OpEx by about one‑third.
