Case Study: Spotify achieves rapid US launch and scalable global expansion with Equinix
A Equinix Case Study
Spotify - Customer Case Study
Spotify, a leading digital music service offering on-demand access to millions of tracks, needed a reliable, scalable hosting solution to support its July 2011 launch in the US and millions of anticipated users. Facing a tight timeline and the complexities of an overseas deployment, Spotify evaluated multiple providers and selected Carpathia (in partnership with Equinix) for its expertise with network-centric content providers, advanced monitoring, and rapid delivery.
Carpathia provisioned a complex, scalable managed hosting and colocation solution in Equinix’s Ashburn IBX—covering managed network services, system monitoring of both customer and managed servers, on-site support, and flexible bandwidth scaling. The deployment enabled Spotify’s successful US launch and positioned the company to support millions of US subscribers while providing a global data center footprint for future expansion.
