LiveStream Finland
We push out video and audio from our European servers for our partner LiveStream.fi and its roster of live radio, sports, and concert events, as well as providing secure pay-per-view for sporting events and online movie rentals.
"We were previously customers of Amazon for VOD and Live Broadcasting before we discovered Scale Engine. Once we tested Scale Engine's VOD services, there was no going back. From pricing to customer service, nothing beats Scale Engine. Our business model has expanded because of our co-operation with them and this has helped our business grow tremendously.
We highly recommend their services."

nRelate
nRelate is a WordPress plugin and content popularity aggregator that has taken off in popularity and traffic volume. We've helped them scale their business. Here's what Neil Mody says:
"ScaleEngine has always been there when we needed them and they have handled us well from our initial stages of millions of requests to now doing hundreds of millions."
Update: nRelate has since surpassed 1.3 Billion requests/month with ScaleEngine
Mangashare
Mangashare transitioned to ScaleEngine when the growth rate of their bandwidth bills outpaced the growth of their advertising revenues. ScaleEngine's unique 3-phase Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has significantly lowered their costs and also vastly improved the performance of their site. Adding Geo-Diversity also vastly improved performance for visitors that were not geographically or topographically close to the old hosting server. Mangashare is in the Alexa top 10000 sites on the internet, and pushes over 25 Terabytes per month.
In July of 2010 when MangaShare's traffic jumped from 5TB per month to over 25TB per month, they were surprised to learn that this wasn't an issue, they wouldn't be charged excessive overage fees, and that they would not be stuck at a higher price tier if their traffic returned to normal. With ScaleEngine, the prices are what you see on the page, no surprises.
Hackint0sh.org
When hackint0sh.org needed a better solution as they outgrew a dedicated server running apache, they contacted our team of experts and we built them a custom solution. Using the knowledge we acquired through the project life-cycle of the first solution we built for hackint0sh, we eventually engineered ScaleEngine, a more generalized and even higher performance system for hosting large sites. Hackint0sh.org went from running 100% loads across three dedicated servers (40 gigaflops total) to using less than 2% of ScaleEngine's original 240 gigaflop grid. Hackint0sh's average of 2.0-2.5 million HTTP requests per day used to seem like an insurmountable challenge, and now its only a drop in the bucket.
JupiterColony
Jupiter Colony is the fan forum for Jupiter Broadcasting, an online media production company that makes a number of shows, including the Linux Action Show and STOked - a Star Trek Online video podcast. Jupiter Colony was just a phpBB forum like any other, until the imminent release of the Star Trek Online Open Beta. The traffic on the forum skyrocketed, and their shared hosting provider suspended the site for excessive CPU usage. The host demanded that they buy an exorbitantly expensive dedicated server to host the site, and refused to provide assistance transferring the site. Within two hours of contacting ScaleEngine and providing us with the credentials to access the old site, we had their forum back up and running from our Origin Web Cluster. Immediately users started commenting on how much faster the site was, and everyone was able to participate in the STO Beta launch discussions without worry that the site would go down again.
Chris Pirillo
As a temporary administrator filling in for an ill predecessor, principal Allan Jude oversaw the operation of the pirillo.com and lockergnome.com server cluster from Fall 2007 until Spring 2008. Using detailed performance analysis completed during this time, he was able to engineer ScaleEngine to vastly outperform even the most well oiled apache or lighttpd configurations.
In fall 2009 Chris Pirillo became a ScaleEngine customer when his current provider refused to host domains.tagjag.com because it was hurting performance on their apache servers. ScaleEngine hosts this site, even with vastly increased traffic, without issue.
