Case Study: Spacevidcast achieves scalable HD live streaming for shuttle launches with Rackspace Technology

Spacevidcast Live Streams Shuttle Launches in High Definition from the Cloud

Spacevidcast is a community-driven broadcaster that streams space launches and live shows in HD, engaging viewers via Twitter, Facebook, IRC and real-time chat. Because shuttle launches draw spikes in traffic that can exceed traditional news networks, the site needed hosting that would scale up for big events and scale back down afterward.

Spacevidcast migrated to Rackspace Cloud Servers, choosing Rackspace for both cloud scalability and strong support. The move delivered reliable high-definition streams and real-time interaction during peak events, keeping the site online for huge audiences and letting the founder focus on growing the community and promoting space exploration.
