Internet Fusion
Business
Internet Fusion manages niche ecommerce websites, providing action sports gear from the world’s leading brands. Internet Fusion builds an international web presence for its retail brands, backed by tailored customer service and warehousing solutions.
Challenges
Internet Fusion’s traditional IT infrastructure design was limiting their ability to grow. Given the competition in the online retail space, Internet Fusion wanted to build a platform that provided the fastest and most reliable shopping experience for their international audience, and that’s why they landed on AWS.
Outcome
Rackspace Fanatical Support® for AWS, and Professional Services, collaborated with Internet Fusion to plan and manage their migration to AWS. The move also involved automating application level deployment to help them scale with demand without manual intervention, whilst maintaining reliable customer service.
Taking place across all its sites in eight weeks, the migration has already driven business value with record Black Friday sales in November 2017.
