Radware (NASDAQ; RDWR) the leading provider of intelligent Application Switching (IAS), ensuring the availability, performance and security of networked applications across the enterprise, announced the deployment of Radware's end-to-end connectivity solutions by the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (LBHF). With Radware's LinkProof Family, LBHF enables 24/7 user access and service continuity across all local authority web sites and Internet applications including web browsing and email. Advancing LBHF's e-government strategy to migrate all council services online by 2005, the LinkProof Family delivers fault tolerant government services for the borough's 150,000 residents. By controlling all traffic across www.lbhf.gov.uk multi-homed network Radware secures LBHF link traffic, accelerates link performance and ensures availability while cutting end-to-end connectivity costs.
The solution was deployed by Radware partner Peapod, a leading UK provider of network and Internet security solutions.
"The Radware multi-homing solution enables us to take full control of all of our bandwidth requirements and be completely assured that our applications will remain fully available even if some unforeseen catastrophe knocks out a major Internet connection," said Mike Burton, LBHF's Technical Services Manager. "It is a relatively simple installation that puts the council in complete control of its Internet connectivity."
The LBHF has been developing its web presence since 1998 and offers information on subjects as diverse as council services, job vacancies and facilities hire, while enabling local residents to make online payments for services such as council tax and parking permits, in line with its e-government strategy. The local authority anticipates a continual growth in its online information and services and already receives an average of a million page impressions per month. Radware LinkProof lets LBHF control the reliability and operating costs of their Internet connections while affording economical service scaling to accommodate growth:
"High-demand web sites need to be always available, but the organizations that run them also want to get the best value out of their ISP connections and make them fully redundant," said Tony Crowley, general manager for northern Europe, Radware. "At the same time, LinkProof allows the LBHF to manage network performance by automatically selecting optimum available ISP connections, which also saves costs."
