挑战
MWEB Business, a division of MWEB, a leading ISP in South Africa, was faced with the challenge of running an efficient network for secure email that guarantees dependable, effective and scalable IT infrastructure. Among the solutions MWEB Business offers to its customers, the email service is the most challenging and complex. MWEB offers three email services to its business customers: Business Mail, for smaller businesses requiring multiple mailboxes branded with the company name; Mail Spooling, for businesses requiring a large number of mailboxes allowing for all e-mails to be collected on the MWEB server, downloaded all at once and distributed to all employees in the business; and Courier List Service, enabling sending of e-mails to multiple recipients at once via an easy-to-use Web based interface allowing customers full management of their email lists, recipient information, message content and mail batches. In order to provide its business customers with these mail services, MWEB has to offer 24/7 reliable, fast service with no delays, no spamming and secure mail without viruses. MWEB had to design a powerful, intricate network, with a physical and logical layout that could undertake these email tasks. Easy and high-speed network flow between servers was imperative. At the same time, it had to ensure that the network was simple to use and administer and scalable for future upgrades to accommodate its growing customer base while still maintaining quality service.
解决方案
MWEB Business’ IT team, with the help of Radware, set about designing and creating a network configuration that would be simple to deploy, efficient, scalable and easily maintained - having its cluster servers centrally administrated. It was vital that the network solution incorporate load balancing, redundancy, high availability and fault-tolerance. Failed connectivity, slow delivery due to bottlenecks and server downtime were not an option for their business customers. MWEB looked at Radware’s security, application and connectivity infrastructure hardware devices to fulfill their stringent network requirements, and with the help of XON Systems, a certified Radware reseller, installed the following Radware products on its network: Radware WSD, Radware’s Content Inspection Director (CID), and Radware’s DefensePro. These solutions ensured full availability, optimized operation and complete security of the server farms, and guaranteed reliability and high performance across the network. By managing all network traffic at Gigabit speeds, these solutions attained the maximum utilization of the servers for full service redundancy, economical operation and seamless scaling of applications.
