Customer Success Story: Convesio

In today's digital landscape, businesses heavily rely on high-performance websites to captivate and engage their audience. However, finding a hosting solution that seamlessly combines speed, scalability, and exceptional support can be a daunting task.

Enter Convesio, a groundbreaking platform-as-a-service (PaaS) designed specifically for high-traffic WordPress websites. With its unique blend of self-healing technology, autoscaling capabilities, and specialized support, Convesio aims to empower businesses to achieve optimal website performance while focusing on their core operations.

Discovering OpenMetal: A Game-Changer in Hosting

Convesio's journey to revolutionize WordPress hosting led them to a serendipitous encounter with OpenMetal. OpenMetal introduced Convesio to a hosted private cloud model, an innovation that perfectly aligned with their vision. Although initially skeptical due to the perceived complexity of private cloud hosting, Convesio recognized the immense potential in terms of customization and control offered by OpenMetal's solution. With unwavering support from the OpenMetal team, Convesio decided to embrace the private cloud model, paving the way for unmatched scalability and performance.

Filling the Gap: WordPress Hosting Reimagined

Convesio realized the lack of innovation in the WordPress hosting realm. Most WordPress users were left with limited options: shared servers for low-traffic sites or resource-intensive public cloud infrastructure for high-traffic sites. This gap left mid-market site owners searching for alternatives, often turning to platforms like Shopify. Being an open source champion themselves and wanting to provide an open source alternative for the WordPress community, Convesio embarked on a journey of research and development.

A Breakthrough: Docker, Microservices, and Scalability

During their research, Convesio explored groundbreaking technologies such as Docker and microservices to create a highly scalable WordPress hosting solution. This cutting-edge approach allowed them to effectively scale containers, providing mid-market site owners with the scalability and performance improvements they desperately needed. After rigorous testing and validation with positive customer feedback, Convesio officially rolled out their product in January 2020, marking a significant milestone in WordPress hosting innovation.

Partnering for Differentiation and Growth:

Convesio's commitment to providing exceptional performance necessitated closer collaborations with cloud providers. While their experiences with major cloud providers didn't align with their customer-centric approach, Convesio expanded their search to smaller independent cloud providers. However, they realized that these providers were not delivering the innovation they were seeking, and they continued their quest to find the perfect partner to support their growth and drive further innovation. And that's when they found OpenMetal.

As you can see from the video at the start of this newsletter, Convesio's experience throughout their partnership with OpenMetal has been wonderful, and as both providers continue to innovate and Convesio's customers will reap the rewards of this partnership.

While Convesio was looking for a cloud vendor, they found a partner. Something that you will hear quite often when you speak to OpenMetal customers.
