Case Study: Malibu Boats achieves rapid disaster recovery and enhanced online customization with Rackspace Technology

Malibu Boats - Customer Case Study

Malibu Boats, the world’s largest maker of wake, ski and surf boats with facilities in California, Tennessee and Australia, faced strained infrastructure as more business moved online. The company needed fast, reliable disaster recovery to avoid costly manufacturing downtime and wanted to improve its online customization engine so customers could configure, save and buy boats entirely online.

Working with Rackspace and CloudEndure, Malibu migrated core systems to AWS using Fanatical Support®, professional services and CloudEndure disaster recovery. The move delivered smooth, efficient migration and faster recoveries (failovers in minutes), doubled server performance in AWS, enabled scalable WebGL/CAD configurators, accelerated the cloud rollout from years to months, and increased online customer engagement while protecting manufacturing operations.
