Example Project – Challenge 15/05/2011 SymetriQ Confidential 10 Celtic FC Global Brand Very high levels of traffic – event driven Issues with extremely high demand at times, such as new signings and fixture announcements Over provisioning hardware to deal with ‘spikes’ was costly and not always effective
11. Case Study - Solution Celtic FC SymetriQ offered scalable ‘cloud’ solution Autoscaling increases capacity at peak times and reduces cost Load balancing on the cloud gives consistent experience to users at all times Ability to scale up as traffic grows without having to change architecture 15/05/2011 SymetriQ Confidential 11
