Case Study: Accentf(x) eliminates scheduled downtime and cuts support costs with KEMP Technologies' VLM-2000

Kemp Load Balancing Eliminates Costly Downtime for Accentf(x) Client Web Services

Accentf(x), a Louisville-based performance marketing and customer data analytics firm, needed to eliminate costly scheduled downtime for client web services—such as monthly API updates that previously required taking systems offline outside business hours. To address this, Accentf(x) selected KEMP Technologies and its VLM-2000 virtual load balancer to provide intelligent, application-aware traffic management.

KEMP Technologies deployed the VLM-2000 in an Active/Active configuration across two dedicated servers so Accentf(x) could perform rolling updates without interrupting client traffic. The solution eliminated scheduled downtime, reduced support and development costs (saving an estimated two FTEs of developer time), provided actionable diagnostics (identifying a failed web server), and delivered an easy-to-administer interface with measurable ROI and scalability for future growth.
