Case Study: Hack the Box achieves faster, lower-cost cyber platform deployment with UpCloud

Hack the Box cuts cloud costs by 30% with UpCloud

Hack the Box, a cybersecurity performance platform, faced challenges with slow deployment times and high costs using their previous cloud provider. Their core browser-based workstation service, pwnbox, experienced bottlenecks and failed deployments, especially during traffic spikes. This led them to partner with UpCloud to find a more performant and cost-effective infrastructure solution.

By implementing UpCloud's Private Cloud solution, Hack the Box achieved an 80% reduction in deployment time and a 30% reduction in costs. The solution provided precise resource allocation and the ability to burst into the public cloud during high traffic. UpCloud also provided close collaboration, tailoring their Managed Kubernetes service to overcome technical limitations. These enhancements resulted in industry-leading server spin-up times and a streamlined, high-performance infrastructure for the customer.
