Make Drupal fast and scalable

Drupal Performance & Scaling services solve your headaches

So, you've managed to build a successful Drupal-based website. However, sometimes it's that very success where the trouble begins.

A victim of your success

Traffic keeps increasing every day, growing as you add features and content. It's right in the middle of your big success when Drupal starts having problems. Soon, your servers are out of capacity, and you're scratching your head trying to figure out what you need to do to fix them. Do you install eAccelerator or APC, or Squid? What's the difference? Do you need a load balancer? How do you know what is enough? Everything helps, but nothing fixes the problem.

These are the challenges of Drupal Performance & Scaling. It usually affects customers during their periods of growth and success. Because of this, properly scaling Drupal can have a dramatic effect on overall project success.

What is scalability?

Scaling is the process of estimating, implementing, testing, and cost effectively delivering your business's core values and content and consists of three different expertise: High Availability, Performance, and Application and Infrastructure Capacity & Scalability planning. It's a process that's specific almost down to the individual customer, because it encompasses most aspects of your application.

We scale Drupal

Fortunately, scaling Drupal to millions of page views per day is a major focus of our day-to-day work, and we have a great deal of experience doing it. You can work with the team that hit fifteen million page views per day with Drupal for a Fortune 500 client in 2006 - a team we're sure can deliver the same value for you.

Make sure it's for you

Not every client is a good candidate for this service. You have to have a certain amount of willingness to embark on a process that doesn't necessarily have a fixed cost or result - you're always trying to move the bottleneck. And you need a business model that affords implementation of what you discover, which can sometimes cut right to the core of your application.

Many small to medium customers are better off simply using our high-performance hosted services and one of our powerpack maintainance agreements. This is part of what we'll discuss with you after you fill out the form below.
