Case Study: Ember accelerates video ad platform growth with Rackspace Technology

Ember - Customer Case Study

Ember, an online video advertising platform founded by recent college graduates, faced the challenge of architecting a high-performance, scalable infrastructure to handle 10,000 requests per second while managing the significant server costs associated with a seed-stage startup. The founding team needed a trustworthy and easy-to-manage cloud hosting solution to run their demanding real-time bidding platform and present a working demo to investors.

Rackspace provided a solution through its cloud services, specifically its VPS environments and APIs, which were easy for the Ember team to use and manage. The Rackspace Startup Program was crucial, as it helped defray critical server costs and provided dependable support. This partnership allowed Ember to successfully develop and showcase its technology, ultimately leading to its acquisition by Adaptive Media, a significant success for the young company.
