When various scenarios had been outlined and the pros and cons weighed up, the customer chose geo DNS load balancers from KEMP Technologies. They deliver the necessary functionality at a reasonable cost/benefit ratio.
Running applications in hybrid mode (in the cloud and on premises) involves some considerable challenges, especially when high availability is required. This is where geo load balancing comes into play: it connects data centers seamlessly across different cities, countries and even continents and distributes traffic intelligently.
A family business that deals in ceramic products was facing this scenario early in 2016. This global player with several thousand employees migrated part of its IT infrastructure to the Microsoft Azure Cloud in July 2016 and was already running applications in parallel in an on-premise VMware environment, i.e. at the company’s various sites. This hybrid architecture gave the company the necessary flexibility to manage more sensitive applications in-house and to run others cost-efficiently in the cloud.
