Case Study: Easynet achieves scalable, high-performance e‑commerce hosting that handles fivefold traffic increases 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 for e-merchants, needed to stabilize and scale hosting for clients like Comptoir des Cotonniers and Princesse Tam Tam after those brands were merged onto a single e-commerce platform. The consolidation and rapid growth produced a fivefold traffic increase with peaks up to 50,000 unique visitors per hour, overwhelming the legacy architecture and generating unmanageable SQL load during sales and holiday periods.

Easynet deployed Citrix NetScaler to boost database performance through SQL multiplexing and request redirection, integrating quickly without changing application code. The new, scalable platform delivers 99.97% availability, handles up to 10,000 SQL requests per second, enabled an incident-free spring sales period, and gives Easynet and its customers the capacity to grow online traffic and revenues.
