Case Study: Q4 Inc. achieves high uptime, AWS optimization and saves a full-time resource with Rackspace Technology

Rackspace enables Toronto capital-markets innovator to deliver effective tools and analysis

Q4 Inc., a Toronto-based SaaS leader for investor relations and capital-markets analytics serving 600+ global clients, faced rapid growth that strained its website, webcasting and analytics platform. The company needed to ensure high uptime, stronger security and performance, reduce manual provisioning, and optimize its Amazon Web Services footprint without proportionally expanding staff.

Rackspace delivered Managed Hosting, Dedicated Servers and Fanatical Support for AWS, building a warmed failover AWS environment, automating backups and server builds (custom AMIs, AD replication) and providing 24x7 engineering support. The outcome was improved platform reliability and performance, faster recovery and reduced administrative overhead—saving the equivalent of one full-time resource—and stronger user engagement with capital markets and investors.
