"ITM technology is as important to the end user as it is to the network administrator," said Mike Long, VP of marketing and technology for Radware Inc. "By providing certainty in the network, Radware keeps companies like Cox and Gist in front of the consumer 24x7, improving customer service and increasing revenue."
With one of the highest-capacity and most reliable broadband delivery networks in the world, Atlanta-based Cox Communications, Inc. is among the nation's largest broadband communications companies, serving approximately 6.2 million customers in more than 20 states. Cox Communication uses six WSD-Pro+ units in three different environments. Radware distributes traffic locally and globally for Cox Communications' Intranet, extranet and for Cox.com. Cox receives an estimated 6 to 8 million hits a day to its Web site and Radware guarantees customers reach the site with unmatched speed and reliability.
"Radware's boxes are in front of everything involved in the Web site," said Travis Crittenden, Manager of Web Administration for Cox Communications. "Because of Radware's position in the network we are certain every hit will result in the appropriate content being delivered to the customer."
Gist Communications, Inc. is the leading independent producer of TV listing guides and entertainment content on the Internet. Millions of users have customized their listings on Gist TV, the company's flagship TV-entertainment Web site. Gist.com is powered by proprietary software that enables users to create and search free TV listings by day, time, program category or specific channel. To guarantee the site is always online and users never miss a listing, Gist.com employs Radware's WSD family of products to direct hits to the site to the most available server every time. Multiple Radware units are incorporated into the Gist solution, proving fault tolerance and redundancy to the network while load balancing traffic locally and globally.
"Gist is committed to offering our customers the best possible online experience," said Paul Finster, chief technology officer at Gist Communications. "Part of that commitment is creating a network environment that works 100% of the time and allows for transparent configuration and support. We easily integrated Radware's product into our system to manage the traffic and have experienced non-stop availability and the freedom to upgrade and perform maintenance without down time."
