Global Retail
Custom high-frequency compute cluster with dedicated Elasticsearch and Redis.
Key Metrics
The Challenge
Global Retail operates a massive Magento 2 installation with over 50,000 SKUs, multiple store views, and complex pricing rules. Their legacy hosting provider was struggling to provide the compute power necessary to run Magento efficiently.
Page load times were averaging over 4 seconds, severely impacting their SEO rankings and user experience. Furthermore, their catalog search was painfully slow, leading to high bounce rates on category pages. They needed an infrastructure partner who truly understood Magento's unique requirements.
The G7Cloud Solution
G7Cloud designed a custom, high-availability cluster specifically for Magento 2. We deployed high-frequency compute nodes for the web servers, backed by a dedicated, heavily optimized Percona MySQL database.
Crucially, we implemented Varnish for full-page caching, Redis for session and object caching, and a dedicated Elasticsearch cluster to power lightning-fast catalog searches. The entire stack was secured behind our enterprise WAF to ensure PCI compliance.
"Magento is a beast to host, and we've burned through several providers who claimed they could handle it. G7Cloud is the first team that actually delivered. Our site is faster than ever, and their engineers feel like an extension of our own IT team."
The Results
Varnish caching delivered sub-200ms Time to First Byte globally.
Elasticsearch integration reduced search query times by 80%.
Effortlessly handles massive traffic volume across multiple regions.
Enterprise WAF and isolated infrastructure met all security requirements.
