Case Study: Liwest Kabelmedien achieves high-availability web services for 226,000 households with Loadbalancer.org Enterprise VA site license

LIWEST delivers high availability web services to 226,000 households with site license

Liwest Kabelmedien, the largest ISP in Upper Austria serving about 226,000 households, needed near-100% uptime for its customer-facing web and email services after virtualizing its infrastructure. Facing a mix of physical load balancers from multiple vendors, Liwest Kabelmedien sought a virtualized, easy-to-manage solution that would support growth and allow extensive testing without risking live services.

Loadbalancer.org delivered an Enterprise VA MAX Site License (with multiple virtual instances — currently six instances in three clusters across two locations), providing virtualized load balancing for key services including email and a customer self-service portal. Loadbalancer.org’s solution enabled uninterrupted configuration changes, met SLAs for over four years, reduced business risk via limitless test environments, simplified maintenance, and offered responsive support — collectively improving availability for Liwest Kabelmedien’s 226,000 customers and supporting future scalability.
