Case Study: Swat.io achieves stable, scalable 24/7 operations with VMware vSphere

The Social Media Management Tool Swat.io Relies on Virtualization for a Flexible and Fail-Safe System

Swat.io is a Vienna-based startup that provides a SaaS social media management tool for B2B customers. As the company scaled, its five-person team could no longer maintain 24/7 operations or handle fast-growing data volumes and peak traffic events, so it needed a stable, scalable platform with defined SLAs and rapid provisioning to meet customer expectations.

Swat.io partnered with APA-IT to run its infrastructure on redundant VMware vSphere 6.5 clusters across two data centers, using vRealize for monitoring and IaaS delivery. The virtualized environment ensured high availability, quick provisioning for developers, automated load-balancing during peaks, GDPR-compliant local hosting, and the scalability to support ongoing growth.
