#Challenge

To host the Blast platform, Bware Labs used a VPS solution from a large cloud provider. However, as Blast began to gain popularity, the hosting solution needed to scale to meet demand. This led to a rapid increase in infrastructure and network costs, as well as a decrease in performance. Therefore, Bware Labs needed an alternative hosting solution that could easily scale while optimizing costs and performance.

#Solution

After testing the products of major cloud providers, Bware Labs found the perfect solution in the form of Advance dedicated servers from OVHcloud designed to host complex and critical infrastructure.
Built with the latest generation of components, Advance servers provide high performance and high-speed networking. They are based on Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) hardware and feature enhanced data protection and network performance-enhancing features such as Link Aggregation to reduce the risk of interruptions during traffic spikes. Advance servers also feature ultra-fast NVMe storage, which is designed to handle complex workloads. This makes Advance servers ideal for hosting the Blast platform, which requires sufficient bandwidth to scale, providing users with consistent speed and performance. Intel SGX technology protects user data from theft or corruption by isolating it in an encrypted enclave.

#Benefit

Through its partnership with OVHcloud, Bware Labs has delivered one of the fastest blockchain API platforms to the market. To succeed, the company needed a platform with tremendous capabilities – it found it in OVHcloud’s solution offering.

With Advance servers, Blast got the performance it needed to handle traffic spikes. In turn, OVHcloud’s data centers deployed around the world, along with the vRack solution, provided a fast, secure and resilient network with high availability. All of these elements, combined with a transparent payment model, enabled the Blast platform to scale cost-effectively while maintaining speed and performance.

Bware Labs and OVHcloud plan to continue their partnership. They will work together to expand Blast’s reach and further empower Web3 developers around the world.
