Case Study: Tenzing achieves 99.9999% uptime and enhanced client flexibility with F5 Networks BIG‑IP LTM

Tenzing Managed IT Services Improves Flexibility, Enhances Client Services with F5 Solution

Tenzing, a managed hosting provider for e-commerce and SaaS customers, faced limits with a home‑grown open‑source load balancer that constrained functionality, support, and the ability to deliver custom client deployments (for example, blocking web scraping). To meet requirements for a stable, scalable Application Delivery Network and greater flexibility, Tenzing moved away from its legacy solution and selected F5 Networks’ BIG‑IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM).

F5 Networks deployed multiple BIG‑IP LTM devices across Tenzing’s data centers and enabled programmable control with F5’s iRules and DevCentral resources, letting engineers and clients tailor traffic handling without impacting shared resources. The F5 Networks solution delivered rock‑solid stability and high availability (reported 99.9999% uptime), broadened functionality and control, reduced client configuration and deployment time, and improved overall IT efficiency and long‑term administration costs.
