Case Study: Rise (Orlando web design agency) achieves resilience during a 5,250% traffic spike with Rackspace Technology Cloud Sites

Rise Handles a 5000% Traffic Spike with Rackspace

Rise, an Orlando web design agency, had to publish an urgent, full response for client Grant Hill after a controversial comment went viral. Anticipating a huge surge to GrantHill.com (and potentially Tamia’s site), Rise needed to release the statement immediately while ensuring both sites could handle extreme traffic.

Rise called Rackspace to quickly scale bandwidth and use Rackspace Cloud Sites for reliable, on-demand capacity. The sites handled a 5,250.72% increase in visitors without downtime, demonstrating the scalability and support that drove Rise’s choice of Rackspace.
