Case Study: Musopen achieves scalable, fast, and cost-effective music delivery with Rackspace Technology Cloud Files & CDN

Musopen and The Rackspace Cloud Make Music

Musopen is a nonprofit that provides sheet music and audio recordings of public-domain works, aiming to be the largest online repository of copyright-free music. Because its audience can spike suddenly when listeners worldwide access and download files, Musopen needed a scalable, reliable way to store and deliver a large digital library.

Musopen adopted Rackspace Cloud Files for scalable file hosting, attracted by built-in upload tools and an integrated CDN that proved easier to use and faster than their experience with Amazon S3/CloudFront. The result was simpler content management, improved delivery performance during traffic spikes, and a cost-effective, dependable solution that met the team’s needs.
