Case Study: Ipgarde achieves 24/7 availability and scalable application delivery with Radware’s AppDirector

Ipgarde Effortlessly Supports Customers’ Servers and Network Devices, with Radware’s AppDirector Solution

Ipgarde is a French hosting provider that manages corporate customers’ servers and network devices across multiple datacenters. Faced with an open-source load‑balancer that could not support one‑leg configurations, seamless testing/migration or guaranteed 24/7 connectivity, Ipgarde needed a reliable way to ensure continuous availability, optimize resource use, reduce public IP consumption and improve protection against DoS attacks.

Ipgarde deployed Radware’s AppDirector to provide Layer‑7 policies, one‑leg configuration support, real‑time load balancing and global redirection for disaster recovery. The solution eliminated the old open‑source system, enabled pay‑as‑you‑grow scalability, improved virtual hosting and SaaS performance, reduced CAPEX/OPEX and consolidated traffic under a single IP—delivering better uptime and customer experience while paving the way to add Radware DefensePro and vAdapter for further protection and VMware integration.
