Case Study: Sleepy Giant achieves instant scalability and lower TCO for game hosting with Joyent Cloud

Sleepy Giant - Customer Case Study

Sleepy Giant is an independent games-as-a-service company in Newport Beach that works with leading developers and publishers to design, launch and operate online games. It needed a public cloud that could instantly scale to meet unpredictable usage spikes while delivering millisecond-level performance, high availability, reliable expert support, and a lower total cost of ownership.

Sleepy Giant deployed on the Joyent Cloud using SmartOS for rapid bootstrapping and dynamic scaling, expanding from a few servers to hundreds of Joyent web application servers, Riverbed Stingray load balancers and Percona MySQL appliances. The deployment delivered on-demand capacity, responsive engineering support, improved game performance and a significantly reduced total cost of ownership.
