Case Study: How We Keep a 280M+ PV Sports Media Site Online 24/7: A Behind-the-Scenes Ops Story

Customer Case Study Series | Powered by Beyond Co., Ltd.

This article is part of our ongoing global case study series, where we spotlight how Beyond Co., Ltd., a leading multi-cloud managed service provider (MSP) in Japan, and its North American subsidiary Beyond GTA Inc., work together to deliver world-class cloud operations and customer-first support.

What sets us apart is our service philosophy: “Beyond‑ism.” It's not just about providing infrastructure—it’s about standing by our customers with the same care, precision, and ownership that defines Japan’s approach to service excellence.

About Beyond Co., Ltd. and Beyond GTA Inc.

Founded in 2007, Beyond Co., Ltd. has grown into a highly trusted MSP, with:

• 350+ customers supported

• 3,500+ servers under management

• 5,000+ operational issues resolved monthly

• Deep expertise in AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and more

  
  

In 2019, we expanded globally by launching Beyond GTA Inc. in Toronto, bringing this standard of quality to customers in Canada and the U.S. We deliver the same "Beyond‑ism" through bilingual, cross-time-zone support teams that work in unison between Japan and North America.

As a fast-moving digital property with millions of daily visitors, high availability and performance are absolutely mission-critical.

The Challenge: Keeping a High-Traffic Sports Media Platform Always Online

For Daily Sports Online, downtime is not an option. Sports fans expect constant updates, live coverage, and instant results—day or night. That means:

• Zero tolerance for outages

• 24/7 visibility into system performance

• Fast, proactive responses to incidents or anomalies

Our Solution: End-to-End Cloud Operation & Maintenance

Our team at Beyond manages the full cloud operation and maintenance of Daily Sports Online, hosted on the IDCF Cloud platform. Responsibilities include:

• 24/7 system monitoring and alerting

• Incident detection and resolution

• Performance optimization

• Redundancy and uptime assurance

By leveraging the time difference between Japan and our Toronto office, we’ve created a follow-the-sun support model—so someone is always available and watching, no matter the hour.

Our Approach: The “Beyond‑ism” Philosophy

Beyond‑ism is more than a motto—it's a culture of responsibility and care that informs everything we do:

• Precision: High-quality operations grounded in Japanese engineering culture

• Customer-first mindset: We don’t just meet SLAs—we take ownership

• 24/7 global team: Coordinated across Tokyo and Toronto

• Embedded support: Acting as an extension of your team, not just a vendor

This approach has earned us trust in Japan’s most demanding industries—and is now making waves in North America.

Final Thoughts

Our collaboration with Daily Sports Online reflects what the Beyond team does best: delivering high-performance, always-on, secure cloud infrastructure backed by Japanese-level service quality.
