关于客户
The customer is a Fortune 1000 enterprise SaaS provider. They are in the process of securing a new greenfield data center without restricting application traffic for its automated compute environment. The stakes and costs for a new data center are high for them. Complex automation is critical to this SaaS provider’s current and future plans, including public cloud. In automated environments, their DevOps team cannot accept any solution that breaks automation or slows down their work, which is essential to keeping billions of dollars of revenue flowing. They have customer SLAs (spelled out in contracts) that cannot be violated without financial penalty. This has created tension between automation and contractual obligations.
挑战
A Fortune 1000 enterprise SaaS provider sought to secure a new greenfield data center without restricting application traffic for its automated compute environment. The stakes and costs for a new data center were high. Complex automation was critical to this SaaS provider’s current and future plans, including public cloud. In automated environments, DevOps cannot accept any solution that breaks automation or slows down their work, which is essential to keeping billions of dollars of revenue flowing. Customer SLAs (spelled out in contracts) cannot be violated without financial penalty. This created tension between automation and contractual obligations. Security architects needed to transform an operationally unsustainable system – one that required supporting five different segmentation solutions including firewalls, Calico, VMware NSX, and switches. Every time the organization adopted a new technology, they adopted a new segmentation solution, which made them have to build their own backend to synchronize all of the different solutions. This created security sprawl.
解决方案
Illumio’s Adaptive Security Platform® offered a policy model that aligned with the organization’s granular segmentation needs – it integrated with all of the disparate technology stacks, allowed better control and faster provisioning. The SaaS provider tested every automated workflow during an intensive pilot that included provisioning 5,000 workloads and converging policy well within acceptable SLAs. Cost and architectural needs aligned, the deployment plan met project specifications, and organizational consensus emerged organically as requirements for each team were fulfilled – including collapsing five segmentation work centers down to one. New scalable capabilities helped the SaaS provider transition to its desired future state with containers and public cloud.

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.
