GigaVox Media is a self-funded startup providing a full range of tools for podcast and videocast production and publishing. As the publisher of the longest running podcast network, IT Conversations and a growing number of other podcasts, GigaVox needed a scalable alternative to their dedicated servers at a web-hosting location.
GigaVox publishes approximately 60 programs each month and their library holds over 1,800 programs. Depending on popularity, each program may be downloaded between 20,000-250,000 times. With this kind of unexpected usage on a daily basis, GigaVox needed a web-scale computing solution to handle traffic peaks and store a growing number of large media files.
