Case Study: Verse Innovations Private Limited achieves 1B+ election‑period hits and zero downtime with VMware vCloud and vRealize

On-time News Delivery by Leveraging The Power Of Cloud

Verse Innovations (Dailyhunt), a Bengaluru-based mobile news app developer, faced major infrastructure strain from election-driven traffic spikes—anticipating up to a 10x surge after previous downtime during 2017–18 state elections. Having struggled with an open-source cloud deployment earlier, the company needed a secure, highly scalable, and quickly deployable cloud environment to ensure continuous availability and easier infrastructure management.

Verse implemented VMware vCloud Standard along with vRealize Log Insight, Operations and Business, deployed in 2.5 months with VMware Professional Services and staff training. The new setup handled over 1 billion user hits during the 2018 election phase with no downtime, reduced manual intervention, provided granular operational insights and capacity planning, avoided new hires, lowered operational costs, and established a foundation for future auto-scaling upgrades.
