关于客户
Sleepy Giant is an independent online game company based in Newport Beach, California. The company works with top developers and publishers in the game industry, providing the tools and expertise to design, launch, operate, and expand game user bases. As the leading market partner in delivering games-as-a-service, Sleepy Giant is responsible for ensuring high-quality experiences for gamers. The company operates on a large scale, with 126 4-GB Joyent servers, Riverbed Stingray load balancers, Apache Web servers, and Percona MySQL databases.
挑战
Sleepy Giant, an independent online game company, was in need of a public cloud solution that could provide flexibility in scaling infrastructure up or down at a moment's notice. The gaming industry is characterized by unpredictable usage spikes due to organic, viral uptake and paid promotions. When these spikes occur, it is crucial that infrastructure be quickly scaled up. If increased usage is not met with adequate infrastructure, then players suffer from decreased response times, the game experience deteriorates and opportunities are missed. Sleepy Giant also required a support team with broad knowledge and competence to help build the right infrastructure for its partners. They were seeking a team that could provide customized solutions and recommend proven options to meet the continuously expanding needs of its diverse projects. Lastly, Sleepy Giant wanted to reduce infrastructure costs while continuing to deliver improvements in performance to customers. This meant considerations of alternatives to ownership and management of physical hardware.
解决方案
Sleepy Giant chose to deploy on the Joyent Cloud because of Joyent's unique, purpose-built infrastructure and knowledgeable support team. The Joyent Cloud enabled Sleepy Giant to use resources efficiently for both its small and large partners. Joyent's SmartOS technology provided Sleepy Giant with a way to bootstrap new games and then quickly scale up for launches. Additionally, Joyent’s dynamic scaling capacity eliminated the need for virtual servers in response to usage spikes. After starting with the deployment of a few servers, Sleepy Giant has grown its footprint to hundreds of Joyent web application servers, Riverbed Stingray load balancers, and Percona MySQL appliances for optimized, high-performance MySQL data stores. Sleepy Giant is able to take advantage of customizing the Joyent Cloud on the fly by adding or removing virtual CPUs, disk space, and RAM as needed. Sleepy Giant continually benefits from Joyent's up-to-date knowledge and involvement in cutting-edge technology. Joyent continually introduces new and improved ways of solving problems, whether the solution is one of its own offerings or one from a third-party vendor that compliments Joyent's offerings.

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.
