HAProxy Technologies has announced that the National Hockey League’s Pittsburgh Penguins have upgraded to the HAProxy Enterprise software load balancer to support their Microsoft Exchange environment.
The enterprise version provides the Penguins with both increased security as well as 24/7 support.
The Penguins were running the community version of the HAProxy load balancer installed on a virtual server when they decided to upgrade to the enterprise version for its support and administrative components. They deployed a cluster of HAProxy Enterprise load balancers in a highly available setup. The Penguins gained premium load balancer support for their Microsoft Exchange environment.
The new HAProxy Enterprise load balancers provide the Penguins with:
- A turnkey, high-performance software-based solution that is easily deployed in any environment;
- Early access to the latest cutting edge features;
- An enterprise suite of add-ons focused on administration and security;
- 24 x 7 authoritative support, 365 days a year.
“Moving to HAProxy Enterprise gives the Pittsburgh Penguins both a high availability solution and a consultative support model for when issues or questions come up,” said Erik Watts, Chief Technology Officer, Pittsburgh Penguins. “HAProxy Enterprise lets us keep our technology stick on the ice at all times so that we can anticipate where things are going next.”
