关于客户
Tableau is a leading software company known for its data visualization products. The company hosts the annual Tableau Conference (TC), a major event where thousands of its U.S. customers gather to enhance their data analysis skills. The 2016 conference was the largest in Tableau's history, with around 12,000 delegates and 5,000 laptops used for over 100 hands-on training sessions. The event took place across seven venues in Austin, Texas, including the Austin Convention Centre and several large hotels. Tableau's mission is to provide cutting-edge software solutions that enable customers to visualize and utilize their data effectively.
挑战
The Tableau Conference 2016 presented significant logistical and technical challenges. With a record-breaking attendance of around 12,000 delegates and 5,000 laptops to manage, the event required a robust infrastructure to ensure smooth operations. The conference was spread across seven venues in Austin, Texas, adding to the complexity. Ensuring that all laptops were pre-loaded with the correct version of Tableau Desktop and ready for use in over 100 hands-on training sessions was a monumental task. The need for responsiveness and agility was paramount, as any small issue could disrupt the entire event. The traditional method of manually managing each machine was not feasible given the scale and time constraints.
解决方案
To address the challenges, Tableau partnered with 1E to implement the Nomad solution. Nomad's peer-to-peer technology and self-throttling capabilities were crucial in managing the large-scale file distribution without overloading the network. The solution allowed for centralized and automated management of the 5,000 laptops, significantly reducing the need for manual intervention. Wi-Fi point-to-point shots were set up across the city to network all the venues together, treating the entire city as a single venue. This setup enabled seamless communication between laptops at different locations, ensuring that all machines were updated and ready for use. The implementation also involved close collaboration with engineering teams at each venue to utilize their core wiring, further enhancing the network's efficiency.

UBM plc: Taking the pulse of the business and engaging employees with a far-reaching strategic transformation
UBM, a leading global events business, was undergoing a significant strategic transformation named 'Events First'. As part of this transformation, the company was preparing to complete the largest acquisition in its history - Advanstar, a US-based events and marketing services business valued at more than USD970m. The company faced the risk of human capital flight if it was unable to effectively engage top talent with the new strategic direction. UBM needed to make significant structural, process and systems changes, uniting its previously autonomous regional businesses. The challenge was to ensure all of its employees were engaged and aligned with the new future vision.

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.

Wittmann EDV-Systeme launches IT monitoring services
Small and medium-sized businesses often lack the know-how and resources required for thorough IT system monitoring. Wittmann EDV-Systeme wanted to launch a solution to plug the gap – enabling it to improve its own competitiveness and that of its customers. IT landscapes are becoming ever more complex and outsourcing is gaining popularity, IT systems must nonetheless remain easy-to-use and extremely reliable at all times. Automated, round-the-clock system monitoring therefore represents an immensely valuable proposition for companies: downtime for business-critical applications can be avoided, and IT systems remain available at all times.

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.
