Partnership Details
Dailymotion launched on Iguana Solutions servers in 2005, starting with just 2 machines. The platform's viral growth was nothing short of extraordinary: by the end of 2006, the infrastructure had expanded to over 150 servers, with traffic growing at a staggering 100% month over month.
In under two years, Iguana Solutions scaled Dailymotion's infrastructure from zero to 50 Gbps of bandwidth, managing the explosive growth while maintaining the reliability and performance that users expected from France's leading video platform.
From 2 Servers to France's #1 Video Platform
When Benjamin Bejbaum and his co-founder launched Dailymotion in 2005, they needed an infrastructure partner that could keep up with unpredictable, viral growth. Iguana Solutions delivered exactly that — combining the reliability of an industrial-grade service provider with the agility and personal touch of a dedicated partner.
Starting from just 2 servers, the infrastructure scaled exponentially. Every month brought double the traffic of the month before, and Iguana Solutions consistently stayed ahead of demand, provisioning new servers, upgrading network capacity, and optimizing the platform to handle ever-increasing volumes of video content.
What set Iguana Solutions apart was the human touch. Rather than treating Dailymotion as just another account, the team embedded themselves in the challenge, responding to urgent needs with speed and creativity. This combination of industrial reliability and dynamic flexibility is what enabled Dailymotion to grow from a French startup into a global video platform reaching 114 million monthly unique visitors.
