Case Study: Chip Xonio Online achieves 24/7 availability, high performance and security with Radware

Non-Stop Consumer Electronics Information on CHIP Xonio with Radware

CHIP Xonio Online (CXO) is Germany’s leading consumer technology portal, operating sites such as chip.de and xonio.com and serving over 110 million page impressions and 30+ million visitors per month. When CXO brought IT management in-house it faced a critical challenge: keep all services available and fast 24/7 despite massive daily traffic peaks, the need to scale capacity dynamically, and persistent security threats like DoS attacks and malware.

CXO deployed Radware’s WSD Application Switch III together with SynApps Application Aware Services and Application Security to provide intelligent load balancing, bandwidth prioritization, instant failover and multi‑Gigabit application‑level threat protection. The solution enabled transparent scaling and traffic redistribution during surges, real‑time defense against 1,300+ attack signatures, and consistently fast response times—delivering high availability, improved performance and a secure, reliable user experience.
