Riverbed Customer – Tenthwave customers quotes

Quote: Reducing Active Web Servers by 75%• “"Under heavy load, the Stop Bullying Speak Up application was expected

to require anywhere from 10 to 40 application servers. When we enabled the Traffic Manager's content caching that need went down by 3/4, allowing us to run with between 3-10 application servers even under load. Additionally, Content Caching reduced the load on our back end databases significantly."– Jade Wesdorp, Tenthwave, Systems Administratoe

Quote: Reducing time and energy resources with SSL offloading• “Having SSL offloading at the Traffic Manager allowed us to purchase and

install a single certificate, lowering the time and energy required to manage certs for an active server cluster, and letting us concentrate on user experience.” – Jade Wesdorp, Tenthwave, VP of Systems and Technology

Riverbed Customer – Tenthwave customers quotes

Stigray Traffic Manager (Zeus) & Rightscale together• “Rightscale’s auto-scaling features provides the ease of registering newly-

added nodes to the Zeus cluster, which has been a lifesaver for us on this project. Adding capacity is as simple as pushing a few buttons (once the environment is set up), and that translates to always having the right number of resources available and never paying for more than we need. Management was so pleased with the solution on the Stop Bullying Speak Up campaign that we've since used it on two more projects, and anticipate using it on more!"– Jade Wesdorp, Tenthwave, Systems Administrator
