关于客户
Spiceworks is a software and technology company founded in 2006 and headquartered in Austin, Texas. The company has developed a first-of-its-kind free desktop IT management application combined with an online community in which users collaborate to solve common IT problems and share information. The IT management application and online community combination was developed to make it easier for small and medium-sized businesses to manage everything related to IT. In less than five years, more than 1.2 million IT professionals have adopted the Spiceworks community and application, which includes network management and helpdesk software. The social collaboration features of the Spiceworks community provide members with much-needed support and information exchanges that help them keep their IT running effectively and efficiently.
挑战
Spiceworks, a company that provides a free desktop IT management application combined with an online community for IT professionals, was facing a challenge with its international users. The company's website was hosted from a single data center location in Austin, Texas, which was cost-effective for serving the domestic audience. However, Spiceworks began to notice that international users were spending less time than domestic users in the community. The company realized that Internet latency was affecting their business and that they needed to deliver community site content from locations that are closer to their international users. In Australia, for example, the Spiceworks community site would frequently deliver outdated content due to unusual and unpredictable content caching mechanisms used by Australia’s largest network provider, Telstra.
解决方案
Spiceworks decided to use the services of CDNetworks to improve the user experience around the world while staying within its infrastructure budget. CDNetworks provided Content and SSL Acceleration services that saved Spiceworks 40% on overall site delivery. The services improved the community site performance for international users, leading to increased site usage. CDNetworks' services scale on demand as needed, freeing Spiceworks from adding servers every month or two just for content delivery. Spiceworks also leveraged the reporting capabilities inherent in the CDNetworks Content and SSL Acceleration solutions to understand who is visiting the Spiceworks community site, where they come from, and how the site is being used in real time.

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.
