Case Study: Tiscali achieves fast, cost‑effective, high-availability B2B services across 15 European countries with Radware’s Alteon NG

Tiscali S.p.A Delivers Advanced Services for Businesses Across 15 European Countries

Tiscali, a major Italian telecommunications provider serving businesses across 15 European countries, needed to rapidly and cost‑effectively roll out a broad set of value‑added services and start reselling data‑center offerings (BSS/OSS, DR, security, cloud storage, mail) to a growing B2B customer base. The challenge was to scale and manage multi‑tenant application services while eliminating outage risk and ensuring that a failure or attack on one tenant would not affect others, requiring advanced load‑balancing in both dedicated and virtual form factors.

Tiscali deployed Radware’s Alteon NG and Alteon VA (with the vDirect plugin) to provide isolated virtual ADC instances, per‑application resource reservation, real‑user monitoring and front‑end load balancing for virtualized Microsoft Exchange environments. The solution enabled fast, high‑availability service rollouts, simplified multi‑tenant management, reduced operational cost and risk, and supported Tiscali’s expansion and competitiveness across its 15 European markets.
