GoldenComm offers end-to-end digital solutions, from consulting to design, development, hosting and marketing. Its clients range from small startups to established enterprises, and GoldenComm serves each one with the same commitment to performance, security and cost efficiency.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As that diversity of needs grew, so did infrastructure demands. Customers expected fast, secure application delivery, while security and regulatory obligations \u2014 including PCI DSS, HIPAA and internal audit controls \u2014 added further complexity. And with inflation affecting client budgets, GoldenComm needed to reduce operating costs without compromising performance or uptime.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The team evaluated its existing infrastructure and began exploring more flexible and scalable solutions that could maintain the service levels their customers relied on. Rackspace SDDC Business emerged as the right fit \u2014 delivering the agility GoldenComm needed, at a cost that made sense.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cA big part of our role is helping them find the right technology stack that meets their needs and fits their budget,\u201d said Casey Deveau, IT Security Manager at GoldenComm. \u201cEveryone wants a Porsche, but not everyone can afford one.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","text_river_1_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/Text-Image_2.jpg","text_river_1_video":"","text_river_2_headline":"Solution","text_river_2_text":"

GoldenComm selected Rackspace SDDC Business as their new VMware environment and unlocked greater agility and control for the internal IT team. Previously, changes to infrastructure \u2014 such as increasing disk space or modifying configurations \u2014 required opening support tickets for resolution. With Rackspace SDDC Business and direct access to VMware vCenter, GoldenComm can now make these adjustments in real time, significantly accelerating service delivery and troubleshooting.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Perhaps most telling was the smoothness of the migration itself. Rackspace Elastic Engineering completed the full cutover \u2014 including 40 to 50 VMs supporting hundreds of websites and applications \u2014 in a single overnight window. There was no drop in service, no disruption to customers and no compromise in uptime or performance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cRackspace expertise and assistance were integral to this migration process,\u201d said Deveau. \u201cFrom deploying the new infrastructure, scoping out the migration to delivering a step-by-step migration and rollback plan, they were able to turn what could have been months to 8 hours. So, it was pretty impressive.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This rapid execution minimized service disruption and gave the GoldenComm team full confidence in the stability of its new environment from day one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe always plan for the worst, so I was bracing for issues,\u201d recalled Nguyen. \u201cBut the day after the migration, it was almost anticlimactic \u2014 everything just worked. Nothing went down, everything stayed online. It honestly made my day. It ended up going better than I expected.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With modern infrastructure, deeper control and a more efficient cost structure, GoldenComm is better positioned to grow, scale and support its customers well into the future.<\/p>\r\n","text_river_2_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/Text-Image_6_0.jpg","text_river_2_video":"","text_river_3_headline":"Outcome","text_river_3_text":"

GoldenComm\u2019s use of Rackspace SDDC Business delivered measurable business value across cost, agility and service delivery. By migrating to the modernized environment, the company achieved an estimated 40% reduction in monthly infrastructure costs \u2014 a significant impact that directly improved its operating margins. Those savings also enabled GoldenComm to pass cost efficiencies on to its own customers, helping them navigate pricing pressures without sacrificing solution quality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cNow we have the ability to log in and handle things ourselves, which makes us nimbler,\u201d explained Deveau. \u201cWe can deploy workloads faster and save time and money \u2014 for both our team and our customers.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

This real-time control has eliminated operational bottlenecks and allowed GoldenComm to deliver services more quickly and efficiently. The added agility translates to faster client onboarding, reduced downtime and improved time to resolution for maintenance tasks or issue response. In effect, the company now has the infrastructure maturity and responsiveness of a much larger enterprise IT team \u2014 without the complexity.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWorking with Rackspace is like having an entire army of on-call engineers and technical experts available 24x7x365,\u201d explained Deveau. \u201cAs technology rapidly evolves, it can be tough to keep up\u2014but we know we have a highly skilled Rackspace team we can rely on to help us meet our customers\u2019 needs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

As a result of the migration, GoldenComm has achieved operational efficiency, reduced costs and built a future-ready foundation that supports scale and innovation as client needs evolve. The company remains committed to delivering high-performance, secure solutions \u2014 now backed by an infrastructure that gives them the flexibility and confidence to move even faster.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThe support is top-notch and that\u2019s what keeps us with Rackspace,\u201d said Nguyen. \u201cI don\u2019t think we can find another service provider that\u2019s so easily reachable by phone. The support team is very knowledgeable and really helps us map out the proper infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\r\n","text_river_3_pull_quote":"","case_study_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/Text-Image_3.jpg","customer_logo":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/goldencomm-logo.png","case_study_video":"","insights_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/OpenGraph_3.jpg","og_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/OpenGraph_3.jpg","twitter_image":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/case_study_images\/goldencomm\/X-Card_3.jpg","rxt_industry":"Technology","region":"North America","rxt_platforms":"VMware","rxt_solutions":"Rackspace Private Cloud Solutions powered by Broadcom's VMware Cloud Foundation, Rackspace Elastic Engineering, Private Cloud","rxt_professional_managed_service":"","business_size":"SMB","bu_categories":"Private Cloud","details_url":"http:\/\/www.goldencomm.com","teaser_title":"GoldenComm","teaser_flag":"Case Study","teaser_read_more":"Learn More","teaser_logo":"","related_headline":"","content_type":"case_study","nid":"","drupal_nid":"27692","drupal_path":"\/case-studies\/goldencomm","related_case_studies":"","tab_items":"General contact case study L2, Contact Tab 2, Combained Contact Us - Careers","view_all_case_studies":"{\"uri\":\"entity:node\\\/23443\",\"title\":\"View all Case Studies\",\"options\":[]}","breadcrumb_top":"{\"uri\":\"entity:node\\\/23443\",\"title\":\"Case Studies\",\"options\":[]}","breadcrumb_title":"GoldenComm","display_quote":"1","form_headline":"Let\u2019s Talk Strategy","form_subtext":"
