Case Study: AccuWeather achieves 99.99% availability and scalable, fail-safe web performance with Radware Application Front End

AccuWeather.com® Forecasts are Guaranteed by Radware, Rain or Shine

AccuWeather, trusted by some 180 million Americans for weather and climate information, must deliver critical forecasts 24/7 to a large, variable audience. The site handles 5–6 million users daily and can spike to 15 million hits during severe weather, requiring dynamic scaling, high availability across up to 78 servers, and optimized web access to prevent outages.

To meet that need AccuWeather deployed Radware’s Application Front End (AFE) with health monitoring, load balancing and centralized Insite management. The solution intelligently redirects traffic, simplifies server management and scales capacity on demand, helping AccuWeather maintain 99.99% availability, eliminate downtime, protect against security issues, and provide continuous, high-performance service to users.
