How ETS Modernized Their Cloud Infrastructure to Handle 3x Assessment Workload Peaks
At-a-Glance
ETS (Education Technology, Global)
CHALLENGE:
Assessment platforms crashed during peak testing seasons due to inflexible legacy cloud hosting.
SOLUTION:
Re-architected the application on Azure using auto-scaling virtual machine scale sets.
RESULTS:
Handled 3x peak workloads seamlessly while cutting overall cloud costs by 35%.
The Challenge: Before Intelegain
ETS experienced massive traffic spikes during global assessment periods, overwhelming their legacy hosting.
Manual scaling processes were too slow, resulting in timeouts for students taking critical exams.
Application crashes during peak exams
High baseline hosting costs
Manual scaling processes
