关于客户
Mirego is a leading mobile design and development team that helps its clients understand mobility, seize opportunities and reinvent themselves with the help of outstanding mobile applications. Since its founding in 2007, the company has worked with a wide range of clients and has built over 90 smartphones and tablets applications used everyday by millions of people around the world. The company is based in Quebec City, Quebec and has 40 employees. Mirego's stack runs on Rails 3 and is hosted on Amazon Web Services. All client projects are native applications designed for a variety of mobile operating systems, including iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows Mobile.
挑战
Understanding issues in a web application may be a challenge, but getting the same understanding from a mobile app is a flat-out guessing game. Just ask Pierre-Luc Simard, CTO at Mirego. “If you’re developing a web app, you can test in every single condition from your computer,” he says. “You can try every version of each browser. You can simulate any kind of network connection. With mobile applications, you can’t do it all. You make your best guess based on the limited evidence at hand, then you release a new version to every single user through the AppStore or Google Play. You can’t release it to a subset of users — it goes out to every single user. When working with the AppStore you may have to wait two weeks for the review, and then, at long last, you find out if you actually fixed the problem. It’s like driving blind, except you don’t know if you’ve wrecked the car until weeks afterward.” In many cases, an issue emerges only after users have complained — which usually means a crop of one-star reviews in the various stores. “It can be very difficult to recover from a lot of bad reviews,” says Simard. “For every one-star review, you need a couple five-star reviews to get back on track. In other words, waiting for users to complain can be a very damaging approach to testing a mobile application.”
解决方案
Simard was already using New Relic to monitor Mirego’s web servers, so he was familiar with the benefits of getting real time, in-depth information on app performance. “New Relic is unique in its intensely data-driven approach to application monitoring,” he says. “We love what it’s done for our web environment. So when we heard about the beta version of New Relic for Mobile Apps, we were very excited to give it a try.” Implementing the mobile version was simple. “You drag and drop a library into your app, and you add one line of code,” says Simard. “It’s a five-minute process, tops. New Relic doesn’t change the way you run your mobile application. You don’t need to alter your network connection, and you don’t have to trigger any special events. You get very good data right away with basically no effort.” With New Relic for Mobile Apps, Simard and his team have access to the same detailed data they find in Real User Monitoring (RUM), but optimized for native mobile apps. “We’ve always loved RUM because it shows us performance data from the individual user’s perspective,” he says. “The mobile version of New Relic offers very similar information at a similarly granular level. We’ve never had that depth of insight into our clients’ mobile apps before.”

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.
