Case Study: The Hirslanden Group achieves high availability and low-latency clinical applications with A10 Networks' Thunder ADC

The Hirslanden Group Chooses The Application Delivery Controller (Adc) By A10 Networks

Hirslanden Private Hospital Group, Switzerland’s leading private hospital network with 16 clinics, needed guaranteed, low-latency access to its Clinical Information System and other Citrix/web applications that support critical physician and nursing workflows. With strict availability and performance requirements—even at peak load—the IT team evaluated high-performance load-balancers to ensure the system would always be responsive and resilient.

They deployed A10 Networks Thunder ADC virtual appliances in two geographically separate data centers as active-active clusters with automatic failover and dynamic load balancing. The solution delivered latency-free access, seamless operation during server or data center failures, and met Hirslanden’s demands for functionality, performance and scalability; familiar Cisco-like management also simplified installation and ongoing maintenance.
