Case Study: WorldTicket achieves scalable, cost-effective cloud growth with SoftLayer

WorldTicket Chooses SoftLayer, an IBM Company, for Its First Foray Into Cloud

WorldTicket, a fast-growing airline software company, needed a more flexible and cost-effective way to support international expansion, handle traffic spikes, and move from traditional IT hosting to the cloud. To avoid heavy capital investments in outdated hardware, the company turned to SoftLayer for cloud infrastructure and a hybrid cloud approach.

SoftLayer implemented a solution using public virtual servers for testing and development, private virtual servers for production, and bare metal servers for larger customers. With SoftLayer, WorldTicket cut infrastructure provisioning time from two weeks to an hour or less, sped software releases from six hours to about one hour, saved close to $150,000, and reduced ongoing operating expenses by 60%.
