Progress Software Highlights Load Balancing as a Strategic Imperative for APAC Digital Infrastructure Resilience

New whitepaper outlines practical framework for strengthening application performance, availability and security across emerging Asia-Pacific markets

SINGAPORE and KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Progress Software Corporation (Nasdaq: PRGS) today emphasized the growing strategic importance of load balancing in ensuring application performance, high availability and cybersecurity resilience across Asia-Pacific (APAC), as digital transformation accelerates throughout emerging markets.

Across APAC, digital adoption continues to expand rapidly. According to the World Bank Group Digital Progress and Trends Report 2023, the share of firms investing in digital solutions increased from 13% to 54% between 2020 and 2022, reflecting a significant shift toward digital banking, e-commerce platforms, government digital services and cloud-based enterprise systems[1]. As organizations modernize infrastructure and migrate mission-critical workloads online, expectations around uptime, application performance and security have intensified.

Recent data further underscores these operational pressures. Cloud Outage Statistics for 2025–2026 from DataStackHub indicate that 63% of major cloud disruptions occur during peak traffic or system change windows[2]. Meanwhile, Downdetector and MalaysianWireless report that leading digital outages in Asia Pacific have generated hundreds of thousands of user reports per incident, demonstrating the scale of business and consumer impact during service interruptions[3].

Together, these trends signal a structural shift: digital services are no longer supplementary channels—they are operational backbones. As a result, load balancing has evolved from a purely technical networking function into a mission-critical component of digital infrastructure strategy.

“Organizations across APAC are scaling digital services into hybrid and multi-cloud environments, often under cost and resource constraints,” said John Yang, Vice President, Sales, Progress APJ, Progress Software. “Load balancing now plays a central role in protecting uptime, optimizing performance and mitigating security risk at the application layer.”

Converging Forces Reshaping Infrastructure Strategy

Three major forces are redefining application delivery architecture across Asia Pacific:

Digital Acceleration
Financial services, telecommunications, public sector agencies and e-commerce platforms are rapidly digitizing operations. Traffic volumes are increasingly influenced by mobile-first adoption, regional expansion and marketing-driven demand spikes.

Hybrid and Multi-Cloud Complexity
Few enterprises operate exclusively on-premises or fully in a single cloud environment. Applications frequently span private data centers, public cloud infrastructure and edge locations. Ensuring consistent performance and availability across these distributed environments requires intelligent traffic management.

Operational and Cost Efficiency Pressures
IT teams across emerging markets must scale infrastructure while optimizing capital and operational expenditure. Overprovisioning hardware to guard against peak traffic is no longer economically viable.

Without automated traffic distribution and real-time failover mechanisms, organizations risk slowdowns, downtime and degraded user experience—impacting revenue, customer trust and regulatory standing.

Load Balancing as a Strategic Control Layer

Modern load balancing solutions serve as a strategic control point within application delivery architecture. Beyond simply distributing traffic across servers, advanced load balancing capabilities enable:

  • Real-time traffic optimization during high-demand events
  • Automatic rerouting to maintain business continuity during outages
  • Centralized visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments
  • Enhanced application-layer security and threat mitigation
  • Scalable infrastructure aligned with actual usage patterns

By intelligently managing traffic flows, organizations can improve digital experience performance, reduce latency, and strengthen cybersecurity posture—while maintaining cost discipline.

For emerging APAC markets, this balance between resilience and affordability is critical to sustaining digital growth.

New Whitepaper: “Load Balancing Made Simple for Emerging Markets”

To support IT leaders navigating these challenges, Progress has released a new whitepaper titled “Load Balancing Made Simple for Emerging Markets.”

The whitepaper provides a structured, step-by-step framework for strengthening application performance, availability and security without requiring a full-scale infrastructure overhaul. Rather than undertaking disruptive transformation initiatives, organizations can begin by modernizing one critical workload and expanding progressively.

Key areas covered in the guide include:

  • Designing resilient hybrid infrastructure architectures
  • Improving application uptime and disaster recovery readiness
  • Optimizing performance during traffic spikes and peak demand windows
  • Enhancing application-layer security against evolving cyber threats
  • Reducing operational complexity through automation and centralized management

By adopting a pragmatic modernization path, organizations can better align infrastructure investment with long-term digital strategy, while maintaining flexibility to scale.

As APAC economies continue to digitalize across banking, government, healthcare, education and retail sectors, application delivery infrastructure will remain foundational to business continuity and digital competitiveness.

SEOUL, South Korea, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DigitalToday, a Korean technology news outlet, has officially launched an English-language news service powered by an AI-based real-time automated translation system, providing global readers with direct access to news about Korea’s digital industry.

Leading Korean Tech Media DigitalToday Launches English News Service
Leading Korean Tech Media DigitalToday Launches English News Service

The service directly targets international audiences interested in Korea’s IT, industry, and policy developments. It was introduced to deliver information about Korea’s digital sector more quickly to overseas readers who previously faced language barriers when accessing such content. Through a system that automatically generates English versions simultaneously with article publication, global readers can now follow major developments in Korea’s digital industry in real time.

DigitalToday’s English news service (digitaltoday.co.kr/en) operates using an AI translation engine developed in-house by Hecto Group. English content is automatically generated at the same time Korean articles are published and distributed through global search engines and news platforms. Chinese and Japanese versions are scheduled to be introduced sequentially, with additional language expansions also under consideration.

Global interest in Korea’s digital industry—including its startup ecosystem, artificial intelligence sector, semiconductor industry, and platform businesses—has grown significantly in recent years. As technology policy and industrial strategies increasingly influence global supply chains and investment flows, demand for information on Korea’s digital industry trends is also rising among international investors and technology professionals.

However, there are relatively few specialized media outlets that deliver real-time English coverage of Korea’s digital industry and technology policies. Through the launch of this English news service, DigitalToday aims to provide a direct information channel enabling overseas readers to understand developments in Korea’s digital economy more quickly without relying on separate translation processes.

The launch also represents part of DigitalToday’s broader strategy to expand into global news platforms. The outlet plans to broaden its reach to international audiences through global news platforms including Google News, as well as RSS feeds and social media channels. In an environment where news consumption is no longer limited by national borders or languages, DigitalToday is working to build a media ecosystem that connects with readers worldwide through multilingual content generated simultaneously with article production.

The initiative is also meaningful in terms of global information accessibility. Foreign investors currently hold approximately $1 trillion worth of listed securities in Korea’s capital market, reflecting strong global interest. Despite this, English-language channels that allow global audiences to monitor Korea’s industry and policy developments in real time have remained limited. DigitalToday aims to help global investors and industry stakeholders more easily track developments in Korea’s digital sector through this English news service.

A DigitalToday official said, “This global news service goes beyond simple translation. It represents a new news distribution model that removes language barriers in real time and connects immediately with global readers. Through AI-powered translation technology, we aim to create an environment where issues related to Korea’s digital industry and technology policy can be consumed simultaneously in the global market.”

Meanwhile, major global media organizations are also expanding their international readership through English-based global news services.

ProstACT Global Phase 3 Study (Part 1) Achieves Primary Objectives

MELBOURNE, Australia and INDIANAPOLIS, March 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Telix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ASX: TLX, NASDAQ: TLX, “Telix”) today announces that Part 1 of the ProstACT Global Phase 3 study, the safety and dosimetry lead-in for its therapeutic candidate – TLX591-Tx (lutetium-177 (177Lu) rosopatamab tetraxetan) – has achieved its primary objectives, demonstrating an acceptable safety and tolerability profile with no new safety signals observed.

Key findings include:

  • Tolerability profile supported by dosimetry and low-grade non-hematologic events.
  • Lesion dosimetry indicates no difference in absorbed dose profile across cohorts.
  • No adverse drug-drug interactions observed in TLX591-Tx combinations.
  • Hematologic events are in line with expectations and transient and manageable, with similar rates of recovery across all patient cohorts.
  • The results from Part 1 are consistent with prior clinical studies of this first-in-class lutetium radio antibody-drug conjugate (rADC) therapy.

Part 1 of the study confirmed the safety profile, biodistribution and dosimetry of TLX591-Tx administered in two doses, 14 days apart, in combination with one of three standard of care (SOC) therapies: abiraterone, enzalutamide or docetaxel. The patient population comprised prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positive metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients previously treated with one androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI).

ProstACT Global is a differentiated Phase 3 trial comparing PSMA-targeted 177Lu-rADC therapy administered with SOC versus SOC alone, a trial design intended to reflect current global clinical practice[1]. Telix has already advanced the study into Part 2 – a 2:1 randomized treatment expansion – in jurisdictions where the clinical trial has obtained approval from health authorities[2]. Part 1 data will be presented to the United States (U.S.) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to seek an Investigational New Drug (IND) amendment to progress Part 2 in the U.S.

Neeraj Agarwal, MD, Professor of Medicine and Presidential Endowed Chair of Cancer Research at Huntsman Cancer Institute, Salt Lake City, and ProstACT Global Principal Investigator and Steering Committee member, commented, “These results reinforce the feasibility of integrating TLX591-Tx with current standard of care therapies for mCRPC, including ARPIs such as enzalutamide or abiraterone, or docetaxel. Hematologic events align with those typically seen in this patient population and therapeutic class, and these cases resolved quickly. The dosimetry profile, along with the low-grade nature of non-hematologic adverse events, further supports the tolerability profile of this investigational therapy.”

David N. Cade, MD, Group Chief Medical Officer, Telix added, “Despite advances in clinical practice, men with advanced prostate cancer still need improved first and second line treatment options. These results build on prior findings and highlight the potential for TLX591-Tx in combination with contemporary standard of care, to become a new first-line option for patients facing this aggressive disease. We are encouraged by the data and look forward to engaging with the FDA at the earliest opportunity, while continuing to advance enrollment in Part 2 in regions where clinical trial initiation has already been approved.”

Summary results

ProstACT Global Part 1 dosed 36 patients, allocated across 3 cohorts:

  • Cohort 1 (11 patients): TLX591-Tx + enzalutamide.
  • Cohort 2 (11 patients): TLX591-Tx + abiraterone.
  • Cohort 3 (14 patients): TLX591-Tx followed by docetaxel.

Safety and tolerability

  • An acceptable safety profile was observed across combination cohorts and tolerability of TLX591-Tx was consistent with prior studies.  
  • All 36 patients received both doses of TLX591-Tx per protocol, no new safety signals were observed.
  • Almost all treatment-emergent non-hematologic events were Grade 1 or Grade 2. The most prevalent were fatigue (53%), nausea (28%) and dry mouth (25%).
  • Hematologic events were transient and manageable.
  • Grade 3 thrombocytopenia (14%) and neutropenia (22%), and Grade 4 thrombocytopenia (31%) and neutropenia (25%) events were in line with the profile expected for this class of therapy and extent of disease.

Dosimetry and biodistribution

  • Radiation exposure to key organs was well below established safety limits[3].
  • Limited dose to salivary glands and kidneys.
  • Lesion dosimetry demonstrated uptake across tumor sites and across all cohorts.
  • Pharmacokinetics demonstrated sustained activity at 15 days, corroborated by imaging which demonstrated prolonged tumor retention.
  • No evidence of drug-drug interactions impacting TLX591-Tx targeting, distribution or clearance.

About ProstACT Global

ProstACT Global (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06520345) is an international, multicenter trial in two parts: Part 1, safety and dosimetry lead-in with 36 patients (complete); and Part 2, 2:1 randomized global expansion with an overall target enrollment of approximately 490 patients. Eligible patients must have confirmed progressive mCRPC assessed with a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET[4] imaging agent (such as Illuccix®, kit for the preparation of gallium-68 (68Ga) gozetotide injection, or Gozellix®, kit for the preparation of gallium-68 (68Ga) gozetotide injection) following prior treatment with one ARPI.

The antibody approach demonstrates different targeting and pharmacology to that observed in other PSMA-targeted small molecule radioligand therapies (RLT). In contrast to these therapies[5], collective long-term follow-up of patients administered with TLX591-Tx has not observed significant acute or delayed kidney toxicity, as the agent is primarily cleared through the liver, a comparatively radioresistant organ, instead of the kidneys[6]. Due to its large molecular weight, TLX591-Tx also demonstrates minimal salivary and lacrimal gland uptake, reducing dry mouth and dry eyes, common adverse effects of existing PSMA-targeted RLTs[7].
