Case Study: PayU achieves rapid Latin American expansion and 24x7 scalable operations with Rackspace Technology

Rackspace Pays off for Payu in Latin America

PayU is a Latin American payment service provider operating in seven countries with more than 80 payment methods to help merchants sell online across the region. After being consolidated under Naspers, PayU experienced explosive growth that local IT vendors couldn’t support—facing 24x7 uptime, security, and massive traffic spikes during regional peak shopping events.

Rackspace delivered managed cloud and dedicated hosting, Alert Logic security, managed storage and virtualized infrastructure plus 24x7 Fanatical Support and close account engineering. The partnership let PayU scale reliably, handle major traffic peaks, win new global clients, and grow from about 10 to 300 employees in five years with continued expansion expected.
