Radware (Nasdaq: RDWR), a leading provider of Intelligent Traffic Management (ITM) solutions that bring certainty to dynamic networks, ensuring optimal, continuous, personalized and secure service, and e2Home, a joint venture between Electrolux (Nasdaq: ELUX) and Ericsson (Nasdaq: ERICY), is pleased to announce that e2Home utilizes Radware's local and global traffic manager Web Server Director (WSD) to create cost effective, network solutions for Intelligent Living.
e2Home researches, develops and markets electronic services for the networked home. A wide range of food, shopping and communication services are integrated and accessed via an Electrolux Screenfridge - the communications center of the home; in essence the heart and brain of the home. The services can also be accessed by mobile phone and Internet at any time of day and in the near future, on other kitchen based terminals. e2Home deployed Radware's Web Server Director product line to ensure e2Home homeowners receive uninterrupted service and unbeatable performance. The strategic positioning of Radware's WSD between the Internet and a group of servers allows it to monitor all user requests and intelligently distribute load between available application resources to provide fault tolerance, redundancy, optimization and scalability.
"Let's say that a thousand households are connected to a server farm. The whole idea presupposes that the user will always have access to the Internet. If one of the servers goes down, the traffic has to be rerouted straight away to another server. And that's what Radware's products are for. They are specialists at providing high availability and quality service," explains Hans Thorsen Manager of Technical Architecture at e2Home.
"Using the WSD, Radware will deliver the 100 percent uptime required for the Screenfridge to act as the information hub of the intelligent home." Said Stig Hjortmar, Managing Director of Radware Scandinavia AB. "Our cooperation with e2Home is an excellent example of Radware's commitment to innovative ideas, while helping our customers eliminate network uncertainty by delivering the best service from click to content."
