Case Study: DreamHost achieves scalable, reliable cloud hosting with Juniper Networks Data Center Solution

DreamHost Scales to the Cloud with Juniper Networks Data Center Solution

DreamHost, a fast-growing web and cloud hosting provider serving over 340,000 customers and 1.2 million sites, needed to improve reliability and scale to support unpredictable traffic spikes and new cloud services like DreamObjects and DreamCompute. To meet ambitious growth projections and maintain affordable, high-quality service, the company rebuilt and expanded its data centers with a focus on redundancy and predictable scalability.

DreamHost standardized on Juniper Networks across routing, switching and security—deploying EX Series switches with Virtual Chassis, MX Series routers, SRX security gateways, MAG Junos Pulse gateways, JSA analytics and Junos Space management—migrating to a two-tier, virtualized core. The new design increased availability and performance, simplified operations, enabled in-service upgrades with minimal disruption, strengthened security and VPN access, and prepared DreamHost to roll out cloud services and handle rapid future growth.
