Case Study: digdat™ achieves high availability and seamless scalability for its online mapping service with Edgenexus ALB-X

Digdat™ Select Edgenexus To Deliver High Availability And Performance For Its Online Mapping Service

digdat™, a subsidiary of Anglian Water Services, provides 24/7 access to underground-asset maps and responds to more than 600,000 requests a year (over 3 million maps annually) for more than 12,000 users across 400+ local authorities. Facing high-volume traffic, a single point of failure and no existing load balancer, digdat™ selected Edgenexus and its Edgenexus ALB‑X VA to add resilience and performance to its online mapping service.

Edgenexus deployed the ALB‑X VA to distribute traffic, perform SSL offload, caching and compression, and provide custom health checks and traffic-routing rules. The simple deployment gave digdat™ seamless scalability, granular visibility and control, and eliminated both planned and unplanned downtime—improving availability and user experience while supporting continued growth and efficient management.
