关于客户
Infernum Productions AG is an international online games publisher and developer, with its head office in Berlin. Founded in the summer of 2011, the company specialises in high-quality free-to-play titles, as well as in the areas of social and mobile entertainment. Infernum’s experienced industry specialists have already developed and successfully marketed numerous international fantasy MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role playing games). The fantasy MMORPG “Dragon’s Prophet” is the young company’s second licensed game. It represents another chapter in the success story that began in mid-2012 with the Infernum game “Brick-Force”, a browser-based fun shooter that was a hit with over 2.5 million players worldwide.
挑战
Infernum Productions AG, an international online games publisher and developer, faced a challenge with their fantasy MMORPG “Dragon’s Prophet”. The game required users to download and install an approximately 10 GB data packet prior to playing. Even with relatively fast data connections, download times often reached up to 4 hours. This long waiting period tested the patience of many users, often resulting in the interruption of the download and negative comments in the Gamer forums. The transfer speed and conversion rate (the ratio between downloads and actual game registrations) required significant optimisation to expand the gaming community, especially in the key geographical regions of Germany, France, Great Britain and Poland.
解决方案
CDNetworks emerged as the clear winner in both trial runs. The judges were won over not only by the lowest average download time and the highest conversion rate between downloads and game applications. The responsive and pragmatic support also proved to be one of the great strengths of CDNetworks and thus as an important argument when placing the order. In case of technical problems with the download, it could be overcome partly in direct support contact with the user, without the active involvement of Infernum itself. A content acceleration solution was used that automatically distributed the data via the fastest route to users across the world, transferring the data from a powerful edge server, rather than reacquiring it from the original server. It combines fast response times with better performance and smooth data delivery and provides high user satisfaction, even under heavy loads.

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.
