Case Study: MWEB Business achieves 24/7 reliable, secure, high-performance email delivery with Radware

South African ISP Delivers Reliable & Secure Business Quality Email Service with Radware’s Solutions

MWEB Business, the corporate division of South African ISP MWEB (serving ~250,000 residential and 50,000+ business clients), needed to deliver three business-grade email services with 24/7 fast, secure, spam- and virus-free delivery. The challenge was to replace a fragile software-based setup with a scalable, easy-to-manage, high-availability network that eliminated bottlenecks, downtime and administrative complexity as the customer base grew.

Working with reseller XON Systems, MWEB deployed Radware’s WSD (load balancing, health monitoring and traffic management), Content Inspection Director (centralized antivirus/URL filtering/anti-spam) and DefensePro (perimeter DoS and intrusion protection), with mirrored devices for automatic failover. The solution delivered always-on, high-performance email—processing over 50 GB/day with no downtime—while simplifying maintenance and enabling seamless scaling and future value-added services.
