Case Study: Jellyfish achieves fast, highly available, relevant search and 100% uptime with SearchStax

Jellyfish Selects Searchstax to Power Fast, Highly Available, and Relevant Search for Sitecore on Microsoft Azure

Jellyfish, the world’s biggest boutique agency, needed a fast, highly available and relevant search service for high-traffic Sitecore sites hosted on Microsoft Azure PaaS. After finding Azure’s native search unsuitable, Jellyfish sought an open-source, maintainable solution and evaluated Apache Solr options, ultimately selecting SearchStax’s Solr-as-a-Service for Microsoft Azure to meet their performance, availability and Sitecore compatibility requirements.

SearchStax implemented a managed Solr-as-a-Service on Azure with automated tooling, managed services and analytics/reporting tailored to Jellyfish’s Sitecore deployments. The result: sustained superior performance and support, zero Solr cluster downtime since migration and 100% uptime even during website releases and Solr infrastructure upgrades, plus actionable metrics for ongoing optimization.
