Case Study: Dell EMC achieves unlimited throughput for multi‑TB nightly backups with Loadbalancer.org Enterprise VA MAX

A world-renowned research laboratory safeguards critical data with Loadbalancer.org and Dell EMC

Dell EMC needed to load balance its ECS object storage platform to handle very large daily backups and unpredictable traffic spikes; the originally proposed balancer imposed licensing throughput caps that would have prevented timely backups. They chose Loadbalancer.org and its virtual appliance, the Loadbalancer.org Enterprise VA MAX, for its compatibility with Dell EMC ECS and unrestricted throughput.

Loadbalancer.org deployed the Enterprise VA MAX quickly (the virtual solution was up in under an hour), removing bottlenecks and enabling fast, intelligent transfers from Linux servers to ECS nodes. As a result, the environment can reliably complete overnight backups of tens of terabytes, scale automatically for peak volumes, and support other systems without additional cost — giving Dell EMC the performance and confidence it needed.
