Hitting a home run in the cloud

If there’s such a thing as a perfect sports season, we’re in the middle of it right now. From the NBA and NHL play-offs to baseball season and then the Olympics, it’s a great time for sports fans. But for anyone on the IT side supporting this huge fan base, it can be a challenging stretch. Sports news site BleacherReport.com knows this story well. It provides up-to-the-minute information on all of these events to millions of users and increasingly to their mobile devices.

To meet traffic demands and quickly route around hot spots, its operations room has giant screens for continuous performance monitoring and management. But still, cloud application performance can be a dicey game with so many variables to consider.
