Using AWS Auto-Scaling for Speed, Security and Stability

zanders
Zanders has been a trusted sporting goods distributor since 1962. This all-woman-owned business supplies retailers with everything from archery gear to ATV parts. With Magento at the center of its digital strategy, Zanders needed a high-performance platform to support long-term growth

Challenge

Zanders was struggling with speed and reliability on their previous Rackspace setup. Their Magento website was slow to load and failed to meet the expectations of modern ecommerce buyers. With Pimcore software, ERP integrations and B2B functionality layered into the stack, the infrastructure needed to handle serious complexity without compromise.

Solution

“JetRails migrated Zanders to a single-tenant, auto-scaling AWS environment designed to support speed, security and growth. The cloud infrastructure included two frontend web nodes at off-peak times with the ability to scale horizontally when demand increased. Key services like RDS Aurora were distributed across multiple availability zones to ensure reliability.

The deployment also supported Pimcore, Site24x7 monitoring and proxy integration with Elliott ERP. Security was hardened with tools like Cloudflare, Sansec and Maldet. The entire system was managed by JetRails to ensure consistent performance and rapid response.”

Zanders now runs on a reliable, fast-loading Magento site that supports its complex B2B operations. The new hosting environment has delivered major performance gains and revenue growth, while also ensuring high availability and future scalability.

“Our ecommerce website is our top sales generator as well as our largest sales tool. We needed an enhanced platform that would meet our current business demand while providing scalability for growth. JetRails and CSS Commerce successfully collaborated to deliver an ideal web solution that considered our future needs.”
