Case Study: PeopleBrowsr achieves reliable mass storage and high-performance social analytics with SoftLayer

PeopleBrowsr - Customer Case Study

PeopleBrowsr needed comprehensive, reliable hosting and support to power its social media brand engagement, data mining intelligence, and social search services. As a fast-growing social media monitoring and analytics company handling over 100 terabytes of data, PeopleBrowsr turned to Softlayer for infrastructure that could support massive storage, high-performance computing, and easy access to its systems.

Softlayer implemented a mix of mass storage dedicated servers, virtual dedicated racks, iSCSI storage, load balancers, and 24/7 support through its Customer Portal. This gave PeopleBrowsr the scalable and reliable foundation needed to store and index more than 50 billion tweets and process about 1.5 billion tweets per week, while improving service quality, customer support, and infrastructure control.
