Case Study

From emergency outage to a platform that scaled from 20 to 2,100+ servers.

This is one of the clearest examples of how fragmented, reactive infrastructure can become a serious business problem—and what changes when a team takes full ownership.

Case work begins with stabilization and leads to redesign, confidence, and long-term growth.

What happened

Labor Day weekend outage

Half of the client’s small data center failed, and the existing hosting provider was not helping.

Immediate stabilization

We identified a firewall routing problem and restored connectivity, but then the remaining environment also went down.

Systemic issues revealed

The problem was not one device or one event. It was a broader infrastructure design issue that had built up over time.

Engineering and redesign

We rebuilt healthy hardware to our standards, redesigned deployments around the application, improved resilience, and added HA where it was needed.

Outcomes

What changed after the rebuild

20 → 2,100+

The environment scaled dramatically after being redesigned for reliability and growth.

40%

Cost reduction potential often appears when environments are redesigned and opaque billing is eliminated.

“I sleep better at night”

The CEO’s description of the result says more than any uptime statistic.
