Case Study: SkyVantage Network achieves 99.999% high availability and faster web performance with KEMP Technologies' LoadMaster

Kemp provides sky-high availability for SkyVantage Network

SkyVantage Network, a hosted airline reservation and management provider (SVAMS), faced rapid, sustained growth that overwhelmed its web-facing infrastructure. As traffic surged across a 24-server cluster, application servers began dropping connections, splitting packets, and terminating SSL/TCP sessions, causing slow response times, “lost connection” errors and degraded service for airline customers while SkyVantage evaluated new load‑balancing solutions.

KEMP Technologies delivered the fix with two LoadMaster 1500 appliances, providing Layer 7 content switching, hardware SSL acceleration/offload, health monitoring and stateful failover. The KEMP LoadMaster eliminated the connectivity and performance bottlenecks, delivered 99.999% availability, secured passenger and payment data with 256‑bit encryption, processes millions of dollars in bookings daily, and paid for itself — all at a fraction of the cost of competing products.
