Case Study: easyJet achieves scalable, high-performance traffic handling with Citrix NetScaler

Easynet boosts business development for e-merchants thanks to performance-oriented cloud platform

Easynet Global Services, a provider of managed networks, hosting and cloud integration, supports fast-growing e-merchants including Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam. After consolidating both brands on one platform and seeing traffic grow fivefold (peaks up to 50,000 unique visitors/hour per site), the company faced severe SQL congestion and performance failures that the previous, rigid architecture could not handle.

Easynet deployed Citrix NetScaler to multiplex SQL connections and redirect requests without changing application code, delivering a quick-to-deploy, scalable solution. The new platform achieves 99.97% availability, handles up to 10,000 SQL requests per second, enabled an incident-free spring sales period, and supports ongoing growth targets for the retailers.
