Case Study: Proximis achieves 99.99% uptime and global scalability with Looker

Proximis Getting closer to global retail customers with the Google global network

Proximis, a French provider of a unified omnichannel commerce platform for retailers, was struggling with an on-premises infrastructure that couldn’t handle traffic spikes or support its international growth. The company needed a scalable, high-performance cloud setup that could improve availability, response times, and security for its retail clients; Looker was part of its analytics stack through Looker Studio.

Looker and Google Cloud helped Proximis modernize its infrastructure, with autoscaling and managed services enabling it to handle demand surges, including spinning up 300 new instances during a denial-of-service attack. The result was a more reliable service with 99.99% availability, better global performance, and the ability to support larger customers and more simultaneous users.
