Case Study: Smoothwall achieves high-availability, scalable web filtering with Loadbalancer.org

Smoothwall partners with Loadbalancer.org to deliver high performing, resilient web filtering platforms

Smoothwall, a developer of web filtering solutions for large public-sector and education customers, needed a trusted load balancer partner to deliver high-performing, highly available platforms for deployments of up to 100,000 users while meeting strict SLAs. To meet requirements for scalability, resilience, expert support and flexible commercial terms, Smoothwall partnered with Loadbalancer.org and adopted Loadbalancer.org’s hardware and virtual load balancer solutions.

Loadbalancer.org implemented its products across hundreds of Smoothwall deployments (with comprehensive deployment guides), enabling large clusters of web filters that can be easily reconfigured to scale as user counts grow and automatically fail over to passive clusters to avoid downtime. As a result, Loadbalancer.org helped Smoothwall meet SLAs, improve resilience and scalability, simplify implementations, and increase revenue per customer by enabling complete, marketable solutions.
