Case Study: Sensr.net achieves reliable, high-bandwidth video streaming and 33% cost savings with Linode

Linode Solves Sensr.net’s Bandwidth, Load Balancing, and Uptime Challenges for One-Third the Price of AWS

Sensr.net is a cloud-based video monitoring service (founded 2009) that captures 24/7 feeds from thousands of cameras and handles roughly 70 million uploads a day, storing 30 days of video per customer. The company needed abundant incoming bandwidth, easy on‑the‑fly scaling, high uptime and low latency at predictable costs; AWS proved too complex and expensive for their needs.

In January 2009 Sensr.net moved to Linode, which delivered unlimited incoming bandwidth, an intuitive API, cloning and backup tools, multiple datacenters and responsive support. The switch improved performance and reliability, lowered latency and cost‑per‑camera, and cut operational costs by an estimated 33% versus AWS while enabling straightforward, predictable scaling.
