Case Study

CloudLabs has supported major industry events like the DATA+AI Summit, deploying 7K+ Clusters and 2.5K+ SQL Warehouses across Azure and AWS.

CloudLabs by Spektra Systems was instrumental in our ability to scale our hands-on training to 7000+ trainees. A month before the event, Spektra Systems was able to procure the Cloud VM quota we needed and load-test the environment to ensure we were fully ready to support an event at this scale. On the days of the event, attendees accessed their hands-on environments via the CloudLabs platform and were able to login to a fully configured ready-to-go environment. As the event ended, the Spektra Systems team ensured all cloud resources were cleaned up, helping us to manage our cloud costs for the event. And afterward, they helped us to analyze and gather greater insights into our cloud spend and user participation in the event. We are very thankful for the CloudLabs platform and the excellent team at Spektra Systems for making this event a tremendous success.” Doug Bateman Databricks Principal Technical Instructor
