关于客户
New Relic is a software analytics company that makes sense of billions of metrics about millions of applications in real time. Their comprehensive SaaS-based solution provides one powerful interface for web and native mobile applications and consolidates the performance monitoring data for any chosen technology in an environment. Their customers use their cloud solution every day to optimize more than 200 billion metrics for 3 million applications. When your brand and customer experience depend on the performance of modern software, New Relic provides insight into your overall environment.
挑战
As New Relic anticipated their future growth, they saw it as an opportunity to rethink their own application architecture. This led New Relic to morph their existing monolithic application components into a service-oriented architecture with a goal of increasing their number of software deployments each day. At the same time, they were planning to greatly increase their infrastructure and launch new products and features into the marketplace. As a SaaS company, these transitions were not taken lightly, as any changes to the existing infrastructure and services instantly touches their customers. To aid in this transition, the Site Engineering group, including – Sean Kane Lead Site Reliability Engineer Karl Matthias and Sean Kane, along with several product teams, started to investigate Docker, the open platform to build, ship and run distributed applications.
解决方案
New Relic adopted Docker, the open platform to build, ship and run distributed applications. As early adopters of the Docker platform, the team even custom-built an open source project called Centurion as a deployment tool that contributed to the Docker community. That tooling was integrated into their original proof of concept deployment pipeline, which was built on Docker and formed the platform for their new application release process. Today there are over 75 New Relic production services that run on Docker both in New Relic’s own data center and in the Amazon Web Services cloud. Containers are always spinning up and down depending on what new features are being deployed and each application team is able to deploy containers on demand.

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.
