How HAProxy Helped GEXEL to Become a Purely Remote Company

We are perhaps the smallest account in America or in the world for HAProxy, but thanks to HAProxy’s with his great technical support, our company managed to overcome the difficult pandemic times.

Dancing between ACL, stick tables, and all security modules, HAProxy Enterprise allowed us to go from being a purely in-office to a purely remote company. Since of the beginning of our partnership, we’ve created dozens of tickets, looking to find the solution to one problem. The wonderful communication allows us to resolve other doubts and helps us fully learn the technology.

We recently asked HAProxy support to collaborate with our MFA partner, Thales Group, to achieve MFA implementation as required by our security auditors. After five months of hard intercompany teamwork, we accomplished the first global integration with Thales to ensure a flexible authentication method over SAML, between Thales Group, HAProxy Enterprise and Vocalcom, which is our compiled, multi domain and multi servers’ backend application.
