Case Study: Glasstire achieves top-notch security, reliable uptime and scalable growth with 11:11 Systems

Glasstire - Customer Case Study

Glasstire is a small Houston-based nonprofit that publishes information and logistics for the Texas art community and serves hundreds of visitors daily. After repeated downtime, poor support from its previous host, and a severe hack that injected a Trojan spam generator and illicit redirects, the organization needed stronger security, better uptime, Debian support for a rebuilt site, scalability, and remote management with a local datacenter partner.

Glasstire migrated and rebuilt its website on iland’s VMware vCloud, initially on a single VM with plans for load-balanced VMs and redundant backups, and the ability to create and upload server images as needed. The move delivered top-notch security, painless scalability, greater flexibility to update content, and enterprise-grade infrastructure without high costs—restoring peace of mind and letting the team focus on art; next steps include dynamic VMs for load balancing and a dedicated email service.
