Case Study: Patronpath achieves PCI-DSS compliance and scalable performance with Bluelock Virtual Datacenters

Bluelock Virtual Datacenters Instrumental in Patronpath’s PCI-DSS Compliance in the Cloud

Patronpath, a provider of web-enabled customer relationship and online ordering tools for restaurants, faced rapidly rising demand and unpredictable peak workloads but could not justify the cost or staffing of building an in-house datacenter. Because it processes customer credit card transactions, the company also had strict PCI‑DSS and security requirements that any cloud provider had to meet.

Patronpath selected Bluelock’s VMware vCloud Virtual Datacenters for an enterprise-grade, compliant hosting platform and managed services. The team migrated the online ordering platform to Bluelock, scaling from two to seven VMs as demand grew, achieved PCI‑DSS audit readiness, improved performance during peak periods, and gained 24x7 support—allowing Patronpath to focus on product growth and customer experience.
