Case Study: SapientNitro achieves high-performance SSL offload and scalable capacity with A10 Networks

Hosting Provider for Marketing Campaigns Increases Value with SSL Offload

SapientNitro, a global multi-channel marketing agency that runs large online campaigns (typically 2–5M users/hour with spikes to 14M/hour), faced capacity and operational challenges: legacy load balancers couldn’t scale, 2048-bit SSL keys greatly increased server CPU load, and managing certificates across many servers was time-consuming. They needed a high-performance, scalable ADC with reliable support and straightforward licensing.

SapientNitro deployed A10 Networks’ ADC to centralize SSL certificate management and perform hardware-based SSL offload, returning CPU capacity to web servers and avoiding costly hardware upgrades. The change delivered higher throughput and faster response during traffic spikes, simplified operations, reduced capital and operating expenses, and came with responsive vendor support.
