The Nextbase website features a video hub where customers can upload their own footage - video files that tend to be large in size. Hyve's platform is designed to manage files of this type and ensures that there isn't any site downtime, particularly during peak times of video hub usage.
In order to provide the storage needed, Hyve cached the entire Nextbase website to ensure that it can handle a huge influx of visitors, remaining up and running even if tens of thousands of viewers attempt to access the site at once. This is crucial for Nextbase's business, ensuring that their videos are available to users at all times.
Bryn Brooker, Head of Marketing at Nextbase UK said: “Hyve has taken the time to understand our industry-specific requirements and has recognised that downtime simply must be avoided; the team at Hyve has developed a cloud hosting solution that is perfectly aligned to our needs. Any minor issues are dealt with immediately, ensuring our website is always running effectively. As a company we need a lot of storage capacity and Hyve are up to the challenge.”
Jake Madders, Director of Hyve Managed Hosting, explained: “Working in the dash cam industry means that Nextbase have very specific requirements and allow users to provide potentially crucial evidence in terms of personal protection and for insurance claims. When a particularly interesting piece of footage is uploaded to the video hub, traffic can peak and the footage can remain online for a long period of time: that’s where Hyve come in.”
