Case Study: Derivco boosts sportsbook scalability and player capacity with Microsoft SQL Server 2016

Derivco - Customer Case Study

Derivco, a multinational software development company specializing in gaming solutions, faced the challenge of scaling its sportsbook system to accommodate a massive and rapid increase in concurrent users. To maintain its competitive advantage without sacrificing performance, the company partnered with Microsoft Corporation to explore an upgrade from its existing Microsoft SQL Server 2014 platform as a cost-effective solution for future growth.

By participating in the Microsoft Technology Adoption Program, Derivco implemented Microsoft SQL Server 2016. The immediate, unmodified upgrade provided a 25 percent increase in the number of concurrent players supported. Further adoption of features like In-Memory OLTP and AlwaysOn Availability Groups led to a 500 percent scalability increase, supporting up to 30,000 concurrent users with a clear path to 100,000. Microsoft Corporation's solution also delivered faster disaster recovery and enabled more agile development processes.
