Digital infrastructure stands as the backbone of operational efficiency and reliability—a non-negotiable foundation for businesses relying on a diverse server network to deliver seamless, uninterrupted service.

For Zyte, a trailblazer in web data extraction, this means maintaining a powerful, globally distributed server network to ensure clients receive high-quality data without compromise.

Stability, risk mitigation, and cost-effective server management are essential pillars of their competitive strategy.

Getting to know Zyte

Zyte is a leading provider of web data extraction solutions including a Web Scraping API and Data Services. Their platform helps businesses automate data collection from the web, offering reliable access to structured data at scale.

Through advanced web scraping tools and services, Zyte enables organizations to extract, process, and analyze web data in real time—empowering them to make data-driven decisions and improve operational efficiency.

At the heart of Zyte’s operations is a highly scalable, globally distributed server infrastructure that powers its data extraction services.

This infrastructure is crucial for delivering consistent, high-quality data to Zyte's clients, ranging from market research firms to e-commerce platforms, all of whom rely on accurate and timely data to stay competitive.

Martin Hartmann, Head of Product Operations at Zyte, oversees the company’s infrastructure needs. A strategic thinker focused on operational efficiency, Martin ensures that Zyte's server network remains robust, cost-effective, and scalable.

His role involves identifying ways to streamline Zyte’s server management processes while minimizing risks and maximizing stability across the company’s global operations.

Before discovering Latitude.sh, Zyte faced challenges in managing the company's infrastructure. They needed a reliable provider capable of offering a geographically diverse network of servers, all while controlling costs and minimizing downtime.

The company’s reliance on a complex web of servers meant that even small inefficiencies could quickly escalate into larger operational challenges, so Zyte was searching for a provider that could help them scale their infrastructure smoothly without compromising on performance or reliability.

Latitude.sh and Zyte join forces

When Zyte aimed to enhance their server infrastructure, they found a reliable partner in Latitude.sh. From the beginning, Martin Hartmann appreciated Latitude.sh's straightforward and pragmatic approach.

“You know what, things with you guys just work, having even the simple things like your web portal working properly, creates certain confidence that you guys know what you are doing,” Martin said. “Also the cooperation with you during the setup phase was good.”

For Martin, trust in a partner hinges on their ability to address issues promptly and adapt to challenges: “If we have problems, I need to be sure that you will support us, that I can rely on you to help, to work together, to be flexible if needed. I feel in that area things are working quite well.”

Latitude.sh’s capability to provide a flexible, globally distributed network was another key advantage for Zyte, meeting their operational needs across multiple regions.

The partnership has delivered significant benefits for Zyte, improving their infrastructure while ensuring the scalability and flexibility required for continued growth.

“Support questions that we had usually get attended properly and quick,” he said. “And I'm really happy with your portal. I mean one would say nowadays it shouldn't be so difficult to have a website that works properly, but most providers are not able to offer that.”

Geographical Reach: Meeting Zyte’s Global Needs

As previously mentioned, one of Zyte’s most critical requirements is a geographically diverse network of servers to meet the high demand for data extraction services across various regions.

“Finding a provider who has a physical presence in many countries is quite a big challenge.”, Martin said.

“We do need servers physically placed in certain locations. And that's why I was specifically looking for providers that do have different physical locations available” he continued.

Martin Hartmann emphasized the importance of server availability in regions like Brazil, Japan, and several parts of Europe, including Germany, Spain, Italy, and France.

Latitude.sh provides servers in Brazil, Japan, Germany, and many other countries.

The need for fast deployment and low-latency access across different regions is a core element of Zyte’s service delivery. Latitude.sh has proven its ability to meet these regional demands, delivering robust infrastructure solutions across multiple continents.

By offering rapid scalability and deployment of servers in key geographical locations, Latitude.sh ensures Zyte’s operations run smoothly across time zones and regions, allowing Zyte to serve its global clients with minimal delays and maximum reliability.

Trust is key to long-term relationships

The positive relationship between Zyte and Latitude.sh extends beyond the technical aspects of server deployment. Martin emphasized the trust and flexibility that have characterized their long-term partnership.

The relationship has been built on this sense of reliability and mutual understanding, where both parties have communicated openly about their needs and expectations.

By offering responsive service and understanding Zyte’s evolving business requirements, Latitude.sh has built a foundation of trust. It’s not just about providing infrastructure; it’s about developing a long-term partnership that is mutually beneficial.
