Case Study: Proxibid achieves scalable, reliable online marketplace performance with Rackspace Technology Managed Cloud

Leading Online Marketplace Looks to the Cloud to Meet Ever Increasing Infrastructure Needs

Proxibid is a trusted online marketplace for buying and selling high‑value items—everything from heavy construction equipment to collector cars—with registered buyers in nearly 200 countries. Rapid growth and international expansion led to increasing system throughput, traffic surges and the need for more efficient, reliable infrastructure and outsourced technology support to stabilize the platform.

By adopting Rackspace Managed Cloud and Fanatical Support, Proxibid freed internal teams from server and production‑network management, gained infrastructure scale and flexibility to handle bidding spikes, and improved overall site performance and uptime. The partnership allowed the company to focus on customer experience and strategic growth—supporting new partnerships like eBay and high‑end auctions—while trusting Rackspace to manage the underlying technology.
