Case Study: TwoSigmas improves real-time video learning and protects its platform with Alibaba Cloud

TwoSigmas - Customer Case Study

TwoSigmas, a Cambridge-based e-learning organization, uses online distance learning to connect Chinese students with tutors and educators around the world. Before moving its platform to Alibaba Cloud, it faced network delay, high packet loss, lag in real-time video interactions, limited scalability, and DDoS and other security threats.

Alibaba Cloud provided Express Connect, CDN, Anti-DDoS, load balancing, and auto-scaling to support a stateless architecture for real-time and offline video transmission. The result was smoother real-time video communication between tutors and students in different countries, better support for peak traffic and 24/7 one-on-one sessions, and stronger protection against DDoS and malicious attacks.
