We’ve just installed a new redundant pair of F5 Big-IP load balancers to handle the increasing traffic to Leadmesh.com. Alhough we hadn’t really had any performance issues or received any complaints of system slowness, we were receiving a few high load alerts here and there from our monitoring system and decided to proactively upgrade the load balancing and database cluster.

This change caused no downtime, and has increased performance and security all around.
