About The Customer
Intersect Digital LLC is a digital marketing agency that has developed a reputation as the go-to firm when client expectations are high, time to deliver is short, and clients’ staffs are overextended. Composed of a group of former agency leaders who knew there was a better way to handle digital marketing production, Intersect brings an insider’s knowledge and the skills to handle any project to clients whose brands and agencies are among the best known in the world. With a roster of several Fortune 500 clients, Intersect needed a flexible solution that would be affordable, yet scale easily to meet demand when traffic spiked.
The Challenge
Intersect Digital, a digital marketing agency, was facing a challenge with its existing dedicated server hosting for client projects. The hosting was not only expensive, but it also presented a problem when traffic spiked or a campaign ended its cycle and competed with compute resources for testing & development. With a roster of several Fortune 500 clients, Intersect needed a flexible solution that would be affordable, yet scale easily to meet demand when traffic spiked. The integrity of the data collected was also of utmost importance to their clients—keeping the database on two replicated dedicated database servers with an additional backup service was required.
The Solution
GoGrid designed a flexible architecture that brings Intersect the best of the cloud and physical server worlds, all on-demand. Conscious of Intersect’s Fortune 500 clientele and the company’s desire to assure clients that data was secure, GoGrid included a managed backup service for additional data security and a managed hardware firewall for secure connections between the Cloud Servers and physical servers. Intersect’s Custom Architecture includes GoGrid front end for f5 load balancing and cloud web/app servers, two back-end Dedicated Servers for MySQL database Master-Master failover pair, and on-demand development and QA servers on GoGrid as needed.
