CyberCellar is an innovative South African e-commerce liquor store, established in 1998 and supporting local wine producers.

THEIR CHALLENGE

  • Disastrous downtime during Black Friday which led to a severe shortfall in revenue
  • Significant service interruption which meant users couldn’t browse or shop online
  • Limited options to scale or grow in their physical server hosting environment

OUR APPROACH

After evaluating CyberCellar’s unique needs, Dudobi developed a detailed plan and recommended a move away from physical hosting and onto Amazon Web Services (AWS). This would allow us to:

  • Build in complete redundancy
  • Virtually eliminate downtime and bolster security
  • Improve monitoring and offer unprecedented support
  • Enable instant scalability for high-traffic events
  • Ensure constant and reliable stability

THE OUTCOME

The CyberCellar team approached the next Black Friday knowing everything was ready.
