Due to significant business growth and ever increasing traffic to their website, Discshop required a scaleable solution to improve performance and cope with peaks in demand. With a competitor site only a click away, it was critical for Discshop to provide a seamless online experience for customers, especially during the busiest periods such as the run up to Christmas.

In order to meet the increased online demand Discshop selected ZXTM LB to provide high availability server load balancing and application acceleration, and to maximize security, reliability and scalability of network services.

Erik Lindgren, CEO of Discshop, explains: "A network outage of just 6 hours could cost us $40,000 in lost revenue. To stay ahead of our competitors it was critical for us to ensure that we improved our response times to requests, and could prioritize available resource for customers completing transactions. Since deployment we have experienced zero downtime and the technology means we can be confident that our site is always available even during peak times."

Discshop have been awarded Sweden's best shopping site by Internet World Magazine. The popularity of the site means that unexpected high volumes of traffic can be experienced at any time of the year, but with fault-tolerant ZXTM LB in place traffic is automatically distributed based on real-time server capacity.

Paul Di Leo, CEO, at Zeus comments: "Businesses around the world rely on our technology to provide a stable foundation for their e-commerce applications. We are delighted to be working with Discshop to improve their customers' online experience and to ensure high availability, reliability and security of the site at all times."
