Architizer Selects SearchStax Managed Search
to Upgrade Search Infrastructure

Architizer was initially tempted to implement Solr on their own as a do-it-yourself project – they certainly had the talent on board to do it. However, as they investigated the time and resources required they quickly realized it made much more sense to outsource their Solr needs to SearchStax and implement SearchStax Managed Search service.

Architizer could then focus on building a great search experience and not be distracted with the day-to-day management and maintenance of their Solr search infrastructure. In addition, Architizer could avoid all of the upgrade hassles and issues by simply having SearchStax handle it – no need to do the updates themselves. Overall this would reduce their total cost of ownership and accelerate the timeline for modernizing their search infrastructure and upgrading their Solr versions.

The SearchStax team engaged with the Architizer team and utilizing SearchStax quickly built and deployed a multi-node production environment. SearchStax enabled the Architizer team to upgrade their Solr versions and migrate all of their collections to their new search infrastructure.

Since all production SearchStax clusters are front-ended with load balancers, high availability was ensured. The Architizer team didn’t want to become experts in search or be on the hook for 24×7 support so they opted for Platinum-level SearchStax support which included around the clock proactive monitoring and support as well as less than one hour incident response times.
