Case Study: Shasta County achieves faster, scalable web delivery and lower costs with A10 Networks

Scaling Web Application Delivery to Lower Government Costs

Shasta County, California needed to improve public access to its web-based services—everything from Outlook Web Access and GIS to streaming public-health videos—yet its virtualized infrastructure and existing proxy solution couldn’t handle increasing load and caused slow or failed page loads. The IT team’s charter to provide fast, reliable information and disaster-preparedness resources required a scalable, cost-effective upgrade.

Shasta County selected A10 Networks Application Delivery Controllers for their performance and price/performance, deploying them in minutes with no user impact. Using RAM caching, layer‑7 inspection (aFleX), and SSL offload, the ADCs reduced backend load, improved security, and accelerated response times; the county stayed within budget and gained a scalable platform able to support new services for the next five years.
