Case Study: Al Manhal Water Factory achieves high-availability, fast Microsoft Exchange email services with KEMP Technologies' LoadMaster load balancers

Kemp load balancing keeps emails flowing for Nestle Waters factory

Al Manhal Water Factory, a Nestle Waters subsidiary in Saudi Arabia, was experiencing growing pressure on its Microsoft Exchange email environment—driven by increased network traffic and architectural changes in Exchange 2010—threatening availability and performance for staff communications. To address this, the customer deployed solutions from KEMP Technologies, installing a pair of Kemp LoadMaster LM-2200 appliances to provide load balancing for its Exchange services.

KEMP Technologies’ LoadMaster LM-2200s automatically connect up to 700 Al Manhal email users to the best-performing Exchange server, offload processor-intensive SSL tasks, and reroute traffic if a server is taken offline, delivering measurable high availability and improved responsiveness. The deployment delivered faster, more reliable email access, a lower-cost alternative to competitors like F5, and ongoing technical support from KEMP Technologies.
