关于客户
Oracle Corporation is a software giant based in Redwood Shores, California. It is the world’s leading supplier of information management software, with its products operating in everything from personal digital assistants to global information networks. The company has thousands of software developers and provides non-stop, 24-hour-a-day technical support to its customers. Power interruptions can be extremely costly for Oracle, potentially resulting in losses of 5 to 10 million dollars per day in sales and productivity. The company's customers, many of whom have mission-critical support needs, are also significantly affected by power interruptions. Oracle's need for reliable power was the driving force behind setting up its own substation, a 13 MW electrical distribution system, and a power management system.
挑战
Oracle Corporation, a leading supplier of information management software, required a reliable power system for its thousands of software developers and customers that depend on non-stop, 24-hour-a-day technical support. Power interruptions could result in significant losses in sales and productivity, as well as affecting customers with mission-critical support needs. Oracle's need for reliable power was the driving force behind setting up its own substation, a 13 MW electrical distribution system, and a power management system. The company initially considered purchasing electricity from the local utility at primary voltage, 12 kV, also known as voltage buy-up. However, the utility feeder to Oracle would still be shared with residential and other non-industrial loads, and they would be subjected to several outages per year. Instead, Oracle decided to intercept the 60 kV circuit from the utility’s transmission line that passes over the Oracle campus. Since the 60 kV circuit’s unplanned outage rate proved to be more reliable, at less than one event per five years, and payback was favorable, Oracle’s board of directors approved the project and construction began.
解决方案
Oracle Corporation implemented a power distribution strategy with the help of Schneider Electric. The solution involved deploying a full-featured power management system, including EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert and PowerLogic advanced power meters. The power management system was installed at the substation and at the transformer of each critical building, directly connected to the corporate Ethernet network by 10BaseT and 10BaseFL links. Desktop access to power system data is available via EcoStruxure™ Power Monitoring Expert. The system is used for monitoring harmonics, transients, waveforms, sags/swells, and other disruptions, tracking energy use, peak demand, time of use, and power factor, automatically reading meters, paging facility personnel during alarms, and reading temperatures, pressures, and oil levels in main and secondary transformers. The metering and reporting system has helped the company identify sources of, and corrective actions for, many potentially damaging disturbances.

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.

Opal Helps Customers Shine Thanks to Datto
SP Flooring & Design Center faced a ransomware attack that encrypted and locked their files. The attack was initiated through a compromised service account set up by an outside vendor. The ransomware infection was isolated quickly, but there was a concern about the extent of the data at risk. The company had backups in place but was unsure of how much information was compromised. The situation required immediate action to prevent further damage and restore the affected data.

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.
