关于客户
Elastic provides real-time insights and makes data usable for developers and enterprises. They power the world’s leading mobile, social, consumer, and business applications. Elastic was in the midst of merging its .com and .org domains when its new webmaster turned to the pioneering headless CMS Contentstack. Today, Elastic’s 100+ content managers can focus all their attention on developing great content. The company operates in the computer software industry and has a size of 201-500 employees.
挑战
As soon as Sylvie Shimizu started her new role as Webmaster at Elastic, she knew the content management system needed an overhaul. The existing process with WordPress was clumsy, slow and had a tendency to crash. There was no functional staging area and the production site ran on a completely different system, so once edits were complete, all the steps had to be repeated on the production server. Because Elastic had two domains, that meant Shimizu had to effectively perform each step four times every time she needed to publish content. With just three months to merge the .com and .org sites, Shimizu was already under a tight deadline. With any system other than Contentstack, this process would have easily taken six to nine months to complete. Additionally, the company was looking to move away from using the web production agency that had been responsible for its themes and updates in the past. The agency was slow to make necessary changes and their developers weren’t experienced enough to make the process run smoothly. Elastic had to wait anywhere from a few days to several weeks for changes, and were often told the features and integrations they wanted were impossible, which Shimizu knew wasn’t true. She had experience using a variety of different content management systems over the years and had discovered Contentstack previously. She knew it could scale with the company’s needs, that its implementation would be lightning fast, and that it was intuitive enough for content managers to jump in without any training sessions.
解决方案
Elastic was up and running in Contentstack within three months. WordPress and other CMS solutions require hours to get new users up and running, but with Contentstack, little training is required. Members of the team are able to easily navigate the platform, thanks to the intuitive and visual interface. Shimizu hired Contentstack’s services to manage the migration from WordPress. Integrating with Built.io Flow’s integration platform, Elastic successfully automated the creation and deployment of its documentation guide, which allowed Elastic to push documentation content to production, staging, and development as needed. Contentstack helped Elastic achieve three goals: 1. Swapped out an inefficient staging process for a simple, one-step system that’s completely integrated and ready at a moment’s notice. New pages now take minutes or hours, not weeks or months. 2. Removed dependency on third-party template developers. The Elastic team can now keep development moving and create new pages by relying entirely on its existing staff. 3. Created greater flexibility, while at the same time making it easier to add, alter and remove content. Contentstack’s interface provides the flexibility needed and is so easy that new users can instantly use it with little training.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
