Case Study: Barnacules Nerdgasm achieves high-speed, reliable, DDoS-protected streaming with Mushroom Networks' Truffle E

Barnacules Nerdgasm boosts quality, speed and security with Truffle™ E appliance

Barnacules Nerdgasm, a popular YouTube channel run by Jerry Berg with more than 650,000 subscribers and 64,614,433 views, was experiencing slow connectivity, interrupted large video uploads and outages caused by distributed denial‑of‑service (DDoS) attacks. To address these issues the channel turned to Mushroom Networks and its Truffle E appliance for a higher‑performance, more reliable WAN solution.

Mushroom Networks deployed the Truffle E Broadband Bonding SD‑WAN, bonding two cable modems and a DSL link (with LTE failover) to deliver aggregated bandwidth of several hundred megabits per second, near‑100% uptime and built‑in DDoS protection via Elastic Static IPs. The Truffle E eliminated frequent outages, dramatically improved upload and live‑stream quality (1080p), and delivered these gains cost‑effectively compared with a single dedicated fiber link.
