Case Study: Varolii achieves high uptime and 98% faster recovery with F5 Networks BIG‑IP LTM and GTM

SaaS Provider Ensures High Uptime and Resiliency for Critical Customer Apps with F5

Varolii, a Seattle-based SaaS provider of large-scale customer communications used by major banks, airlines and utilities, needed near‑100% uptime, faster failover, and stronger compliance for its hundreds of mission‑critical applications. To eliminate lengthy planned downtime and reduce the operational burden on application servers, Varolii selected F5 Networks and deployed F5 BIG‑IP LTM and BIG‑IP GTM across its data centers.

F5 Networks implemented BIG‑IP LTM for SSL offload, traffic steering, iRules and compression, and BIG‑IP GTM for geo‑redundant failover. The solution cut failover time from 45 minutes to 30 seconds (a 98% improvement), eliminated up to four hours of monthly planned downtime, reduced server counts by 40%, lowered administrative time by ~25%, and enabled centralized management of 100,000+ concurrent SSL connections.
