Case Study: Reliam achieves 100% uptime and 50% lower CDN costs with OnApp

Miss Universe welcomes 100 million visitors with a cloud and CDN platform from Reliam, built on OnApp

Reliam, a Los Angeles-based specialist in cloud hosting and Internet Application Management, managed the Miss Universe website for the 2013 competition, which expected 100 million visitors and heavy traffic during live televised events. The challenge was to keep the site up and responsive for a global audience during short, intense traffic spikes.

Reliam built the hosting environment on the OnApp platform, using cloud hosting, autoscaling, load balancing, and OnApp CDN to support the core application and distribute content globally. The setup delivered 100% website uptime, zero downtime during peak traffic, and reduced total CDN costs by 50%, while improving content delivery coverage for events such as Miss USA and the Miss Universe final.
