Veranda CMS
Veranda CMS is a content management software that helps SMBs manage their websites, content, and digital operations from a single system.
All-in-one CMS for SMBs
Managing a multi-tenant digital footprint for thousands of growing businesses requires an infrastructure that refuses to choke under pressure. As an all-in-one content management and business platform, Veranda CMS is engineered to help SMBs run their entire online operationsโfrom websites to core digital workflowsโentirely from a single, centralized system.
Because the platform acts as the technical foundation for their clients' daily business operations, infrastructure stability is non-negotiable. To achieve this, Veranda CMS hosts its software along with several critical supporting services on the dedicated infrastructure of NovoServe, serving customers reliably across different regions.
"We wanted dedicated resources"
SaaS application hosting on shared public cloud environments can cause unpredictable latency due to noisy neighbors. When other companies sharing the same hypervisor spike their workloads, your application's performance drops. For Veranda CMS, this multi-tenant volatility was a clear dealbreaker.
When searching for an infrastructure partner, the engineering team knew exactly what operational risks they needed to eliminate. As Murat Gazioglu, Tech Lead at Veranda CMS, puts it: "Performance and predictability were our biggest priorities. We wanted dedicated resources without the noisy-neighbor issues that can sometimes occur in shared cloud environments."
Beyond securing isolated physical resources, their technical requirements were clear-cut. Veranda CMS required a provider that offered highly reliable hardware, fast network connectivity to minimize regional latency, and transparent pricing with no hidden data egress traps. Crucially, they needed an engineering support team capable of responding quickly when needed.

Quote from Veranda CMS
"NovoServe has provided the performance and reliability we need to run Veranda CMS with confidence. Their bare metal infrastructure delivers predictable performance, and their support team is always responsive and easy to work with. As our platform continues to grow, NovoServe remains an important part of our infrastructure strategy." - Emir Afacan, Veranda CMS

A clean, single-tenant architecture
To solve the predictability problem, Veranda CMS bypassed virtualized cloud layers entirely. They deployed their entire core infrastructure onto NovoServe dedicated bare metal servers.
Instead of over-engineering with complex virtualization layers, their deployment is intentionally designed around performance and simplicity. They run their application stack, databases, and supporting services directly on dedicated bare metal servers, passing traffic cleanly down to the physical hardware. This eliminates the hypervisor layer entirely, bypassing the CPU scheduling delays that typically throttle database read/write speeds in virtual environments. For a multi-tenant platform, removing this layer guarantees that database engines maintain consistent, high-sustained I/O operations and rock-solid page-load times for global users.
According to Gazioglu, this straightforward structural setup gives them the exact operational leverage they need, "Our deployment is designed around performance and simplicity. We run our application stack, databases, and supporting services on dedicated bare metal servers, which gives us full control over resource allocation and system tuning. We chose this setup because it provides consistent performance for our customers while remaining cost-effective as our platform grows."
More like a technology partner
The shift to NovoServe successfully delivered on all performance metrics. The underlying bare metal infrastructure has proven entirely stable, and the fast network connectivity has yielded excellent performance across their active user regions. Furthermore, the initial setup avoided the typical friction points of hardware deployment; as the team noted, the provisioning process was completely straightforward.
However, for a scaling SaaS business, the communication model of the infrastructure vendor matters just as much as the network throughput. The partnership succeeded because it moved past a simple transactional relationship.
"The experience has been very positive," Gazioglu concludes. "The infrastructure has been stable, network performance has been excellent, and the provisioning process was straightforward. What we appreciate most is that NovoServe feels like a technology partner rather than just an infrastructure provider. Whenever we've needed assistance, communication has been quick and professional."
