Challenge
The retailer built its first Oracle Commerce website a few years ago. Recent web traffic growth, as well as increasing customer expectations made it obvious to the retailer that it could no longer rely on existing systems to provide required website stability. It needed a reliable partner that would ensure the flawless performance of its systems at all times, while allowing the company’s internal team to focus on business development instead of troubleshooting.

After evaluating the existing environment, the Pivotree team believed it could provide better website performance and stability under high loads of traffic while significantly reducing the retailer’s hardware footprint. The following was provided as part of the Pivotree Oracle Commerce Hosting Solution:
- Newer and faster servers
- Dedicated redundant 10GB networks
