Case Study: Sandstone achieves scalable, high-performance online events with Cloud Pro

Cloud provider boosts team-building firm's rocket venture

Sandstone, a Cheshire-based team-building company, needed a more scalable way to support its online “Space Rescue” events, including a major bespoke session for a globally distributed client. Its existing virtual dedicated server was too rigid and costly, leaving it paying for unused capacity while still lacking the redundancy and processing power needed for big traffic spikes. Cloud Pro was selected as the vendor to help address these hosting and performance challenges.

Cloud Pro provided an elastic, pay-as-you-go cloud solution that let Sandstone scale capacity up for peak demand without committing to a fixed upper limit. This enabled the company to run its largest online event to date, expanding from a previous maximum of 120 participants to a group ten times larger, while maintaining smooth communications and reliable performance throughout the event.
