Case Study: LoveBook (personalized gift-book retailer) achieves scalable, cost-effective availability during traffic spikes with Rackspace Technology Managed Cloud

LoveBook Tackles Variable Traffic with Managed Cloud

LoveBook Online, an e-commerce retailer of personalized gift books, faced sudden server crashes and downtime after a spike in web traffic following a national television appearance. The unpredictable, high-volume traffic and heavy user-generated content created a challenge to keep the site available and cost-effective.

The company deployed Rackspace Managed Cloud along with Cloud Files, Cloud Load Balancers, Rackspace Email, and Hosted SharePoint to scale on demand, handle user-generated content, and stabilize operations. The managed solution provided the support and infrastructure needed to maintain availability during traffic spikes while keeping costs under control.
