About The Customer
The SaaS provider in this case study is in the business of using advanced artificial intelligence on customer data to provide actionable business insights that will help its users maximize revenue and has customers around the globe. With their eyes on the future, the company shifted its operations from on-prem to a single Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Eventually they were faced with the inevitable: end customers who required the service be delivered on the CSP platform of the customer’s choice. The SaaS provider’s business leadership demanded multi-cloud agility. Customers needed to be serviced quickly and consistently in a rapidly changing space, or the SaaS provide risked losing millions of dollars in net new revenue.
The Challenge
The SaaS provider was faced with the challenge of meeting the demand for multi-cloud service delivery, which caused an exponential rise in complexity to utilize native cloud constructs in an additional cloud. This resulted in re-training of staff, and business requirements that further reduced the agility of the SaaS provider’s cloud IT teams. On-boarding just a single additional CSP resulted in inconsistent network architecture and created inefficient operations as much of the existing automation needed to be refactored for the new CSP environment. The SaaS provider wanted to create a service delivery infrastructure strategy that would provide the best possible end customer experience with the simplest and most consistent infrastructure operations, scale to their growth targets while ensuring security, financial, and reputational risks were minimized.
The Solution
The SaaS provider adopted a simplified multi-cloud strategy with Aviatrix that is capable of on-boarding new Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) within a day, and intelligently programs the native network constructs across all clouds. This has reduced time-to-market by transforming from a single to a multi-cloud network and security architecture that supports the agility and security required to operate mission critical applications. The SaaS provider now automates the on-boarding of new customers, provisioning secure VPNs and resolving any overlapping IP issues for end customers in days instead of weeks. The SaaS provider is now scaling their multi-cloud environment, confident in the Aviatrix Controller’s ability to intelligently manage network correctness, resulting in reliable end-to-end connectivity as it was initially intended.

Sawback IT and Datto Save Client From a Costly Mistake
Ballistic Echo, a software development house, faced a critical challenge when human error led to the deletion of thousands of lines of unique code. This incident occurred before the code was pushed to source control, resulting in significant loss of time, revenue, and work. The previous file-level backup solution they used was slow and inefficient, making it nearly impossible to manually recreate the lost work. The need for a more reliable and efficient business continuity solution became evident to avoid such disasters in the future.

Zapier Aggregates Multiple Analytics in a Single Dashboard with the New Relic Platform
Zapier, a company that enables non-technical users to push data between hundreds of web applications, was facing a challenge in automating and provisioning servers for optimal performance. The company's environment consisted of 50 Linux servers on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a Django application split across several servers, and a backend consisting of a dynamic number of celery task workers fed by messages published to a RabbitMQ cluster. They also maintained a number of internal web services on nginx in front of Gunicorn and Node.js processes. Redis handled simple key and value stores, with logging handled by Graylog2 and ElasticSearch. However, they realized that no level of automation would be sufficient without an effective monitoring solution in place. They needed a tool that could provide immediate alerts when something was breaking and could be easily implemented into their environment.

Pipeline Insight Case Study: YARCDATA
YarcData faced challenges in determining the conversion rates of prospects into customers through various marketing efforts and identifying the source of its leads. They wanted to know the percentage of opportunities in the sales pipeline that came from different marketing events, web downloads, or self-sourced sales opportunities. Additionally, they needed the ability to drill down into the data to guide where to allocate more marketing dollars based on the success of previous efforts. Previously, YarcData relied heavily on spreadsheets and Salesforce.com reports, which made it difficult to extract the exact information they needed. This reliance on spreadsheets represented about 70% of their data presentation.
