Case Study: Sunfield Children’s Home achieves secure, reliable 24/7 email communication with Loadbalancer.org Enterprise R20

Sunfield Children’s Home, a leading charity and residential special needs school, makes communication of essential care information secure and reliable with Loadbalancer.org

Sunfield Children’s Home, a charity and residential special needs school supporting children and young people aged 6–19, relied on email as its primary way to share essential care information with staff, parents and external agencies. Their existing Microsoft Exchange infrastructure was over capacity and they needed a resilient, 24/7 email solution that would protect communications when the IT team was off duty. To address this, Sunfield chose the Enterprise R20 load balancing solution from Loadbalancer.org.

Loadbalancer.org supplied and supported an Enterprise R20 High Availability Clustered Pair, a competitively priced, quick-to-deploy load balancer that Sunfield installed with minimal assistance. After two simulated failures, staff were still able to send and receive emails without interruption, demonstrating effective failover and continuous access to large attachments and critical messages. Loadbalancer.org’s Enterprise R20 delivered reliable, low-cost protection for Sunfield’s mission-critical email communications and provided the organization with greater resilience and peace of mind.
