Case Study: Chime Communications achieves scalable, resilient Exchange 2010 email services with Edgenexus ALB-X

Chime Communications - Customer Case Study

Chime Communications, a global marketing services group with over 1,500 people across 16 countries, needed a Microsoft‑certified load balancing solution as part of its migration to Exchange 2010 and to support separate CAS arrays across two Active Directory sites. After evaluating several vendors, Chime selected Edgenexus and its ALB‑X VA (virtual appliance) for its Microsoft certification, ease of use, advanced features and strong support.

Edgenexus deployed the ALB‑X virtual appliance (four instances across Chime’s London sites) using the pre‑tuned jetPACK templates and close vendor support, enabling a rapid, minutes‑long setup. The Edgenexus solution delivered measurable benefits: improved Exchange performance and manageability, seamless scalability and resilience (no service disruption for host/switch/site failures), faster server connections for a better end‑user experience, and minimal day‑to‑day maintenance.
