Multisite Model Using Acquia SiteFactory: A Success Story by SELTech
02 January, 2025

At SELTech, we have a track record of tackling complex digital solutions for large-scale enterprises, and one of our standout projects involved implementing the Acquia SiteFactory multisite model for a major client.

The Challenge
The client had a vast digital ecosystem with over 200 websites spread across various regions. They needed a unified platform that could handle their complex infrastructure, while improving site performance, scalability, and reducing ongoing maintenance costs.

The Solution
We recommended Acquia SiteFactory, a powerful platform for managing multiple Drupal sites under a single, scalable architecture. Acquia SiteFactory allows businesses to streamline operations, reduce redundant workflows, and keep their websites consistent across regions while providing individual customization.

However, the existing sites were using outdated code and weren’t optimized for the new platform. SELTech’s team meticulously refactored the code to ensure compatibility with Acquia’s multisite model, which meant handling custom modules, cleaning up outdated integrations, and optimizing the codebase for performance.

We didn’t stop there. Understanding the importance of reliability and security in large enterprises, we conducted stress testing, performance benchmarking, and security assessments to ensure that the platform could handle high traffic volumes and remain secure under potential cyber threats.

The Result
The migration was successful, providing the client with a flexible and future-proof solution. With Acquia SiteFactory, they now have an efficient infrastructure that ensures uniform branding across all their sites, while offering the flexibility for future growth and customization. Performance improved drastically, with faster load times and reduced downtime, and security vulnerabilities were effectively mitigated.

Thanks to our partnership, the client reduced maintenance costs, gained operational efficiency, and secured their position for future digital growth.
