关于客户
Digital Firefly Marketing (DFM) is a digital marketing company founded in 2011 by John Cashman. Based in Princeton, NJ, DFM offers a range of services including search engine optimization, pay-per-click advertising, content marketing, social media marketing, and website services such as design, development, maintenance, migration, hosting, and legacy integration. The company aims to increase the exposure of its clients' websites and convert website traffic into viable leads and sales. DFM serves a diverse clientele, including Youth1 Media, Horizon Charter Lines, and the M Night Shyamalan Foundation. The company migrated to Linode Managed in 2013 to enhance its cloud hosting capabilities.
挑战
Digital Firefly Marketing (DFM) faced significant challenges with client-website obsolescence and inadequate cloud hosting services. Over 50% of DFM's clients initially presented outdated websites that were unresponsive to search engine algorithms. DFM had to redesign these websites to make them more search engine friendly. Additionally, many clients were using low-cost cloud hosting services that resulted in slow website performance and frequent crashes. DFM itself initially used a $10-per-month cloud hosting service, which was insufficient as traffic grew. The company needed a more reliable and scalable cloud host with global presence and the ability to integrate cloud-based solutions.
解决方案
Digital Firefly Marketing migrated to Linode Managed in September 2013 to address its cloud hosting challenges. Linode Managed provided DFM with robust cloud hosting services, including monitoring of web servers, MySQL servers, NginX and Apache HTTP servers, and SSL connections. The migration resulted in a dramatic increase in processing speed and throughput, making client websites more responsive to search engine queries. Linode Managed also offered 24/7/365 incident response, active system monitoring, and advanced system and service analytics through Longview. This allowed DFM to ensure high performance and reliability for its clients' websites, while also saving on costs related to hiring dedicated monitoring staff.

Engine Informática offers SAP software as a service with IBM
Engine Informática, a Brazil-based company specializing in the implementation of SAP ERP solutions, identified a gap in the market for small and medium-sized companies. The company realized that the fixed infrastructure investment needed to run SAP 24/7, such as data centers, hardware, and support, meant that the per-user cost could be perceived as too high for smaller companies. The challenge was to reduce or eliminate the capital expenditures and implementation costs as much as possible to help reduce the barriers to entry for these smaller companies.

Wittmann EDV-Systeme launches IT monitoring services
Small and medium-sized businesses often lack the know-how and resources required for thorough IT system monitoring. Wittmann EDV-Systeme wanted to launch a solution to plug the gap – enabling it to improve its own competitiveness and that of its customers. IT landscapes are becoming ever more complex and outsourcing is gaining popularity, IT systems must nonetheless remain easy-to-use and extremely reliable at all times. Automated, round-the-clock system monitoring therefore represents an immensely valuable proposition for companies: downtime for business-critical applications can be avoided, and IT systems remain available at all times.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
Case Study
IBM social business software connects and empowers employees for competitive advantage
Superior Group, a company providing workforce productivity solutions, found that its employees worldwide felt disconnected from headquarters, regional offices and each other due to outdated internal communication and collaboration tools. The company's intranet had become a top-down affair with little staff involvement, and employees lacked effective tools for anywhere/anytime communications. Those working remotely had limited access to co-workers and company apps. The main method of collaboration was inefficient email, challenging IT staff to manage a growing store of attachments. These factors inhibited the company from achieving its productivity goals.
