In order to expand and to underline the new technology trends across the country, Pizza Hut was looking for a hosting provider whom they can rely for their online presence. Not only were they searching for a secure ecommerce hosting provider but also someone within the cloud computing paradigm, so that that they can take advantage of the cloud technology and its beneﬁts. Some of the challenges Pizza Hut Faced are:

  • They wanted to establish an online presence and thus they were looking for a solution which would provide high availability to the users to avail the service.
  • They wanted a suitable email host and 24/7 support for the services they wanted to avail.


Pizza Hut required a solution which would enable them to improve their ability to respond quickly to customer demands and support their aggressive expansion strategy.
