The Challenge
Pure Storage aimed to enhance its internal operations by creating a robust architecture that connects all systems and applications, fostering a data-driven culture. The company faced challenges with manual, hand-coded integrations that slowed down data delivery and productivity. As the company grew, managing disparate applications became increasingly difficult, affecting decision-making across finance, sales, and marketing. The need for a scalable architecture was evident to support the company's growth and long-term vision.
The Solution
Pure Storage selected SnapLogic for its ease of use, user experience, and performance, which stood out among other vendors. The IT team at Pure Storage eliminated manual coding by using SnapLogic's pre-built or custom-built connectors, known as Snaps, to automate data transfer between legacy systems and cloud applications. This automation allowed the team to move away from the tedious process of copying and pasting data files. The deployment of SnapLogic enabled the IT team to undertake projects that provided rich data visualization to business users, integrating data from various cloud applications into Tableau. This democratization of data empowered business users to make informed decisions and collaborate effectively.

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.

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.
