Case Study: Colorcon achieves improved end-user experience and application performance with Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager

Colorcon Improves End-User Experience and Performance of Applications with Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager

Colorcon, a global supplier of pharmaceutical and supplement film coatings and excipients with offices in 25 countries, centralized about 80 business-critical applications (including Oracle e‑Business Suite) in a Pennsylvania data center. The IT team needed to ensure consistent, high performance for remote users worldwide and replace an unsupported open-source load balancer that lacked application‑layer visibility and enterprise support.

They deployed the Pulse Secure Virtual Traffic Manager (a software vADC) with TrafficScript on commodity servers, going live in under an hour. With built‑in Layer 7 load balancing, monitoring/alerting, and a custom TrafficScript for LDAP delivered quickly with vendor support, Colorcon achieved faster failover, proactive problem detection, reduced troubleshooting time, and better performance for employees and external website visitors.
