Why SkyMetrics Chose Servercore

Before partnering with Servercore, SkyMetrics used another provider in Kazakhstan but experienced recurring outages: servers would reboot unexpectedly, taking critical services offline. This was particularly challenging because SkyMetrics’ projects require continuous monitoring and data parsing—even a brief interruption could disrupt business processes.

Attempts to resolve the issue through technical support were unsuccessful, so the company began looking for a new technology partner. SkyMetrics needed high server uptime, servers located in Kazakhstan, and compliance with the country’s laws. After a seamless migration of a test project, the team decided to partner with Servercore.

Key reasons for choosing Servercore:

local servers in Kazakhstan, hosted in a data center certified to Tier III and ISO 27001 standards
99.98% uptime guaranteed by an SLA
transparent billing and payment in the local currency
free 24/7 technical support

«Reliable platform performance is critical for us: our projects depend on continuous data parsing and monitoring, so any technical disruption directly affects our clients’ business processes. We quickly migrated two key projects to Servercore, and both migrations went smoothly. The provider’s team agreed on every step with us in advance, provided prompt feedback, and handled all the technical aspects of the move.»

Key Client Objectives

Ensure uninterrupted service and high availability
For SkyMetrics, keeping its digital platforms running continuously is essential to its business. Downtime causes direct losses for clients and long-term reputational damage, making high availability a top priority.
Move away from a local provider with frequent outages
The previous provider could not deliver stable service, so SkyMetrics needed a provider that could guarantee 99.98% uptime and respond quickly to incidents.
Reduce costs by moving to a hybrid cloud in Kazakhstan
The company needed flexible resources from a local provider with pay-as-you-go pricing. This solution helped optimize infrastructure costs while ensuring compliance with Law No. 94-V on data localization.
Scale the business with managed PaaS services
To support business growth and ensure application fault tolerance, SkyMetrics needed to move to managed services, including Managed Kubernetes, S3 storage, and cloud databases. These services reduce the operational workload, speed up the rollout of new features, and improve the overall resilience of the digital ecosystem.

Results and Future Plans

SkyMetrics successfully migrated to the Servercore cloud platform in 2025. The move took place in two stages. Both migrations were completed in less than two weeks without disruption. By hosting its infrastructure in an ISO 27001-certified Tier III data center in Almaty, SkyMetrics was able to keep all its data in Kazakhstan in compliance with the Republic of Kazakhstan’s Law No. 94-V.

SkyMetrics deployed the backend of its digital platforms on rented computing resources, building infrastructure that ensures uninterrupted operation even under sustained workloads. Since moving to Servercore’s infrastructure, the company’s IT systems have been running without downtime.

Today, the company rents more than 20 virtual machines from Servercore. It uses cloud servers with custom configurations and Managed Kubernetes to scale microservices and ensure high application availability. It also uses S3 storage and cloud database services (DBaaS) to handle requests, job openings, and bookings.

SkyMetrics plans to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its partnership with Servercore. If new forecasting and analytics requirements arise, SkyMetrics will need GPU infrastructure. In that case, SkyMetrics plans to use Servercore’s GPU servers.
