Since starting in 2006, Raw Media has grown into a specialist Web and mobile software development house, working with big brand names such as Renault, Standard Bank, Sorbet and FlySafair. In addition to development, it has become one of South Africa's most sought-after digital design agencies.
After 10 years with Hetzner's Managed Server solution, Raw Media required more extensive control over their servers, from processing power to scaling memory and bandwidth resources, based on the demand of their applications.
In August 2015 it chose Hetzner's Truserv Plus, self-managed server, to accommodate its exceptional growth. "We decided on Truserv Plus because we were looking for a solution that fits the needs of the process-hungry application we were embarking on," said Ryan Richards, director of Raw Media.
Hetzner currently hosts 3 720 Self Managed Servers in their Cape Town and Samrand data centres. Their powerful hardware platform gives users the flexibility to create any type of server environment and manage it themselves.
"Customers enjoy full Root/Administrator access to their server, enabling 24/7, 365 day control from anywhere," says Athena Turner, Hetzner's marketing & communications manager.
Raw media needed a super-fast and reliable network, with sufficient protection against DDOS attacks. "The Truserv Plus provided exactly what we needed and came within our budget, and because it's backed up by the quality customer service we've grown to expect over the last 10 years, it was a clear no brainer for us and our technical team."
Raw Media's agile project management techniques combined with their passion and innovation helps them to constantly guide their customers on an MVP (Minimum Viable Product). Hetzner's Self Managed servers provide them with a scalable solution for growing their business, while they help their customers take projects to market quicker.
"We use Hetzner because when we work together to fix an issue, it's resolved efficiently every time," concludes Ryan.
