Case Study: Ahrefs achieves scalable high-performance SEO infrastructure with SoftLayer

Ahrefs - Customer Case Study

Ahrefs, a Singapore-based big data company focused on SEO analytics, needed a cloud infrastructure that could support rapid growth, massive web crawling, and high customer satisfaction while keeping its in-house team lean. To handle billions of daily page crawls and frequent index updates, Ahrefs chose Softlayer for high-performance servers, fast network connections, large storage, and strong support.

Softlayer implemented a powerful cloud cluster for Ahrefs with more than 100 servers, 15TB of RAM, and 3PB of storage, plus 10Gbps networking between servers. As a result, Ahrefs improved product quality, won more customers, reduced hardware issues to less than one per month, and saved significant time and money through simpler infrastructure management.
