Overview

Bookmaker approached DiGiCOR's experts with a clear objective: to find a solution for optimizing their online betting transactions and implementing cross-site failover. We identified high-performance servers and network enhancements as two key areas that could elevate Bookmaker's online betting website.

In this fiercely competitive market, every moment is critical. Hence, the infrastructure must consistently operate at its highest capacity without encountering any bottlenecks, ensuring absolute reliability. With databases required to handle a high volume of transactions, DiGiCOR's expert reached the conclusion that upgrading Bookmaker's server and network infrastructure is imperative to uphold an exceptional level of service.

• Obtain a solution that could significantly reduce any bottlenecks whilst being reliable in handling thousands of transactions.
• Upgrade Bookmaker’s server and infrastructure to support outstanding service.

The solution was installed in two separate data centres, with failure configured. The server solution consisted of 8 nodes Servers, SSD and Intel Xeon CPUs for both DC’s. Four 2U Servers for the DB applications and six MicroCloud servers. The MSSQL databases were configured on the 8 Node Servers, which provides the high performance required to handle the massive workload when the big events are on.

The network infrastructure was made up of Ethernet switches and CER routers, configured for redundancy between the 2 data centres. Each data centre was set up for a performance network between servers and switches and the links between the DC’s were configured via 2 redundant links in each route. With the advanced functionality built into the supplied switches, there are no single points of failure. If there are any switch or link failures, the network can automatically reroute traffic without any loss of data and zero network configuration time.

Bookmaker chose DiGiCOR’s solution because the capital expenditure was far less than anything the competitors could offer. The solution has also exceeded performance expectations with faster response times; a prodigious online experience has led to greater customer satisfaction. This, in turn, has led to a growing customer base and greater market share.
