Case Study: New Belgium Brewing achieves flexible cloud scaling and a reduced carbon footprint with Green House Data

New Belgium Brewing moves to the cloud to accommodate seasonal fluctuations in web traffic while reducing their carbon footprint

New Belgium Brewing, maker of Fat Tire and other beers, needed a greener, more flexible way to host its website. Because traffic peaks in summer the brewery was over-provisioning physical servers year-round; its distant legacy data center lacked energy-efficient practices and made maintenance and capacity changes slow and costly.

Green House Data migrated New Belgium to a managed cloud in a wind-powered, energy-efficient facility (40% less energy use) with flexible scaling, proactive monitoring and a strong SLA. The move delivered flawless performance and no downtime, rapid support response, on-demand CPU scaling for marketing campaigns, prevention of disk-space outages, and a reduced environmental footprint.
