Data-Intensive Workloads
How symmetrical bandwidth removed the bottleneck between on-site infrastructure and the cloud.
The Challenge
An AI and data analytics company runs daily training jobs that move hundreds of gigabytes of data between on-site infrastructure and cloud environments. Their asymmetrical consumer-grade line (fast downloads, slow uploads) created a structural bottleneck when syncing models and backups.
The Solution
With Lightspeed CC, bandwidth is symmetrical: upload and download speeds are identical, so large datasets go out just as fast as they come in. Bandwidth is also easy to scale up as data volume grows, and it's actually delivered as promised — without the annoying speed dips or packet loss that come with a shared line.
The Result
No more bottleneck between on-site compute and cloud environments: backups and model syncs consistently run within the expected time window, at the speed that was actually promised — instead of having to schedule things overnight just to keep the line free, or gambling on whether the bandwidth holds up that day.
