Case Study: New England’s Largest Wholesale Bank achieves 99.99% Internet availability and 30% bandwidth savings with Radware LinkProof

Large Wholesale Bank - Customer Case Study

The Bank, the largest wholesale housing finance bank in New England and cooperatively owned by over 460 regional financial institutions, needed near-100% uptime, fast consistent Internet access, and strong security for e-commerce and member services as it expanded. Its primary Boston site and a Disaster Recovery site required reliable Internet load balancing and automatic failover to ensure members could process critical mortgage and lending transactions around the clock.

Working with Select, the Bank deployed Radware’s LinkProof across multiple ISP links (AT&T T1s and a Cogent 100 Mbps connection) with a T3 connection to the DR site to provide intelligent multi-homing, real-time load balancing, QoS, intrusion prevention and DoS protection. The solution delivered 99.99% availability, improved user experience, reduced telecom costs (30% bandwidth savings), a three-month ROI, and paved the way for additional Radware application delivery solutions and expanded DR and growth plans.
