Case Study: Pekin Insurance accelerates remote work and application modernization with NetScaler

Pekin Insurance - Customer Case Study

Pekin Insurance was in the final stages of a planned, multi-phase IT modernization project when the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated an immediate shift to a remote workforce. This created a critical challenge, as the company's existing network and bandwidth issues now had to be resolved at a breakneck pace to support over 1,000 employees working from home. Pekin Insurance relied on its new digital platform, Citrix DaaS, which was supported by NetScaler application delivery controllers.

The NetScaler solution provided crucial end-to-end visibility and advanced troubleshooting capabilities, allowing the small IT team to quickly pinpoint and resolve performance issues, many of which originated from employees' home networks. This ensured optimal performance of the Citrix DaaS environment throughout the pandemic. NetScaler's automation and management capabilities also decreased overhead and provided high availability, enabling Pekin Insurance to continue its modernization journey by seamlessly moving workloads to public cloud providers like AWS.
