关于客户
HighQ is a leading provider of secure document exchange and social collaboration software. Its flagship enterprise collaboration platform, HighQ Collaborate, uniquely combines secure, enterprise-grade document management with innovative corporate social tools. As a result, some of the world’s leading law firms, investment banks, and corporations leverage HighQ Collaborate, and other product offerings, to effectively manage team collaboration and knowledge sharing across their global networks of colleagues, partners, and clients, both inside and outside of the organisation. HighQ is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and was founded in 2001. It operates in the enterprise software-as-a-service industry.
挑战
HighQ, a leading provider of secure document exchange and social collaboration software, faced a challenge when its customers, including a major international law firm, began to roll out HighQ’s collaboration platform to their overseas offices. Users outside of Europe were experiencing high latency when accessing the application, leading to a slowdown in web page loading and document transfer speeds, especially during peak business hours. HighQ considered hosting in multiple local data centres to achieve optimal performance for users in the US and Australia. However, the time and resource required to establish similar data centre infrastructure overseas made this strategy unrealistic.
解决方案
HighQ recognised that a content delivery network (CDN) would suit its performance and security needs best. CDNetworks, one of the best-of-breed CDNs, ensured HighQ that it could accelerate both the application and its dynamic environment without relying on local caches to store documents. This would enable HighQ to streamline the service upgrade and respond to its clients’ requirements as quickly as possible. HighQ decided to evaluate CDNetworks’ Dynamic Web Acceleration service for a 30-day period. This allowed HighQ to experiment with different acceleration techniques without locking itself into a long-term contract. The trial helped HighQ identify those portions of its web infrastructure that would benefit most from acceleration.

SET Creative Ditches Google Vault for Datto Backupify
When Kienholz first started at SET, the staff was using Microsoft Outlook for email with no form of data backup. It became apparent that something needed to change as the staff was often burdened with trying to recover emails from departed employees. Kienholz transitioned the team to Google’s Gmail and implemented Google Vault for backup purposes. While SET employees quickly adjusted to Gmail, which many use for personal email, the same could not be said for Google Vault. “Unlike most Google products, Vault was not user friendly at all. It’s very hard to search for items. We never really figured out how to do a restore either,” explained Kienholz. Due to SET’s work with high-profile brands, projects often go through many rounds of revisions right down to the eleventh hour. This means that every bit of information - especially data living in project managers’ emails - is crucial to delivering clients a polished design at deadline.

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.
