A slow website, unreliable streaming, or security breaches were simply not options. “We were seeing a crazy increase in traffic, especially around album releases and tour announcements,” explains a member of Ethel Cain’s team, wishing to remain anonymous. “Our existing infrastructure was struggling to keep up. We needed a solution that could scale quickly and reliably, and frankly, we needed it fast.” ALTA IT’s Solution: A Scalable Cloud Infrastructure ALTA IT Services stepped in and, after a thorough assessment of Ethel Cain’s needs, implemented a customized cloud infrastructure solution.
