Case Study: Peak 10 achieves scalability and business continuity with KEMP Technologies LoadMaster

Cisco & Kemp enable scalability & business continuity for Peak 10

Peak 10, an IT infrastructure and managed cloud provider, faced growing demand that stressed its legacy hosting environment. After deploying 24 Cisco UCS B230 M2 blade servers virtualized with VMware, Peak 10 needed a high‑performance, highly available load‑balancing solution to support business‑critical ERP and CRM workloads — and selected KEMP Technologies’ LoadMaster software to meet those needs.

KEMP Technologies implemented LoadMaster directly inside the Cisco unified fabric, eliminating the need for an external appliance, shortening communication paths and reducing latency to milliseconds. The solution enables automatic traffic steering to the best server, simplifies cabling and management, and scales with UCS so Peak 10 can deploy new blades in under an hour and virtual servers in minutes; together these changes improved response times, supported business continuity and enabled near‑100% uptime for customers.
