Case Study: Patagonia achieves 99.99% website availability and cost savings with Radware LinkProof

Patagonia brings web site in-house, driving down operational costs and improving customer service

Patagonia, a high-end outdoor clothing retailer, faced exorbitant hosting fees and unreliable service from its single-provider web infrastructure, which resulted in significant downtime and lost revenue. To gain control and reduce costs, the company brought its website in-house and chose Radware, implementing their LinkProof application switches and APSolute OS software to build a redundant and secure network architecture.

The Radware solution provided intelligent traffic routing across two ISPs, comprehensive security with intrusion prevention, and Denial of Service protection. This implementation allowed Patagonia to eliminate its reliance on a third-party host, achieve 99.99% site availability with zero downtime, and realize significant ongoing cost savings while seamlessly scaling to handle increased transaction volumes from global expansion.
