Case Study: Encoding.com achieves faster, lower-cost video encoding with Rackspace Cloud Servers

Encoding.com Chooses the Rackspace Cloud for Faster Cloud Hosting

Encoding.com, a global provider of cloud-based video encoding services, faced the challenge of supporting its rapid growth and meeting demanding service level agreements without increasing its hosting costs. The company needed a powerful, dynamic, and stable cloud solution to accelerate its video processing speeds for customers like MTV Networks and Brightcove.

Rackspace implemented its Cloud Servers IaaS solution, which featured a unique "CPU bursting" capability. This allowed Encoding.com to access extra processing power at no additional cost during off-peak times on the host machines. As a result, Rackspace enabled Encoding.com to more than double its average encoding speed, improve service for its customers, and reduce computing costs while maintaining its guarantee to never let a video sit in a queue for more than four minutes.
