关于客户
Cloud Provider is a cloud hosting, infrastructure, and services company founded in 2008. The company has around 800 customers, most of whom are based in the Netherlands. Until recently, Cloud Provider mainly offered virtual machines (VMs), but it has now added a container offering into the mix, powered by the ComputeStacks container platform and Portworx. The company's customers are not very tech-savvy and are mainly businesses that rely on a website or an e-commerce store. They are not interested in being technologists and find platforms like Amazon Web Services and Google too complicated. The company's customers just want to be able to run their application container in a way that is performant, scalable, and highly available.
挑战
Cloud Provider, a cloud hosting, infrastructure, and services company, was facing challenges in offering scalable solutions to its customers. The company's customers, who are mostly not tech-savvy, were finding it difficult to migrate from a shared hosting environment to a virtual machine. The company wanted to offer a solution that would allow its customers to scale their operations without having to manage anything. The main challenge was ensuring the scalability of the platform, especially for stateful apps like WordPress. For these apps to function properly, it was necessary that the data volume is available to multiple physical hosts at the same time. This was a requirement that many storage vendors did not offer.
解决方案
To address the challenges, Cloud Provider decided to use the ComputeStack container management platform for a scalable, easy-to-use container-as-a-service offering and Portworx PX-Enterprise for cloud-native storage and data management. ComputeStacks is a product that offers a simple and easy-to-use solution, catering to the needs of a shared hosting customer. Portworx solved the problem of ensuring that data volume is available to multiple physical hosts at the same time. It provided solutions to multi-writer containers, high availability, backups, and more right out of the box, enabling Cloud Provider to easily offer containers-as-a-service to their end customers. The company recommends using a solution like Portworx as it would be too difficult to build and maintain such a platform on their own.

Vodafone Hosted On AWS
Vodafone found that traffic for the applications peak during the four-month period when the international cricket season is at its height in Australia. During the 2011/2012 cricket season, 700,000 consumers downloaded the Cricket Live Australia application. Vodafone needed to be able to meet customer demand, but didn’t want to invest in additional resources that would be underutilized during cricket’s off-season.
