关于客户
Xero 是一个面向小型企业及其顾问的全球在线平台，总部位于新西兰惠灵顿。该公司已与 160 万订户建立了值得信赖的关系，使他们能够通过更好的工具、信息和联系来蓬勃发展。创新正在以惊人的速度推动增长。为了支持其发展，Xero 所做的不仅仅是迁移到 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 公共云，它还完成了一项大规模转型，将安全性和敏捷性融入到其产品开发、安全工程和合作伙伴关系的结构中，并与 AWS 合作和 Check Point 作为主要合作伙伴。
挑战
2014 年，面向小型企业及其顾问的全球在线平台 Xero 面临基础设施和安全性的挑战。该公司正在管理一个支持近 700,000 个用户的本地基础设施，但经常发现自己花费时间和资源来控制环境，这限制了团队全面支持产品创新的能力。 Xero 认为，只有公共云基础设施才能提供支持下一波增长所需的功能。除了扩展规模以支持数百万新客户之外，Xero 还希望降低服务交付成本、确保基础设施的高可用性并有效防御不断变化的网络威胁。敏捷性是 Xero 的基础。数百个基于产品的团队每年发布 1,200 多个产品功能和更新。 Xero 希望将构建 DevOps 基础设施所需的时间从几周、几天、几小时、几毫秒缩短。它还需要支持国际公认的安全标准，因此新基础设施的设计必须保证安全。
解决方案
Xero 选择 AWS 是因为其广泛的计算、存储和网络服务。 AWS Well-Architected 框架帮助 Xero 为公司的应用程序构建了安全、高性能、弹性且高效的基础设施。 AWS 环境使 Xero 有机会降低成本、避免停机并支持其增长目标。出于安全考虑，Xero 选择 Check Point 作为值得信赖的企业安全合作伙伴，以确保内部和出站流量的安全。 Xero 团队与 Check Point 密切合作，在基础设施堆栈的各个级别实施安全性。他们在 100 个运行 Check Point CloudGuard IaaS 的不同 AWS 账户中部署了 130 个 Check Point 网关，以确保数据和资产免受最复杂的威胁。 Check Point CloudGuard IaaS 提供自动化、多层、弹性的安全性，可随着动态 AWS 环境进行扩展。 Xero 使用 Transit VPC 式架构部署了 Check Point CloudGuard IaaS。这使得流量能够根据任意数量的属性（监管要求、策略、流量类型等）定向到定义的“安全区域”进行安全清理。

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Construction Equipment Rental: A Case Study on ProsRent and ENO8
ProsRent, a startup that won the 'Best Financial Opportunity' and 'Best Pitch' at CodeLaunch 2016, aimed to revolutionize the way construction professionals source and rent heavy equipment. In the construction industry, project managers and contractors typically rent heavy equipment from supply companies. However, predicting inventory can be challenging, and finding the required equipment at the right time and place can be a hassle. If the preferred vendor doesn't have the required equipment, it results in wasted time and money in searching for it, often leading to higher costs due to non-preferred rates and increased delivery costs if the vendor is located far from the job site. Suppliers, on the other hand, desired access to a wider base of trusted renters that they didn't have to vet themselves and wanted to offer dynamic rental pricing based on demand and availability in their market. ProsRent's challenge was to produce a minimum viable product that was fast and first to market but also strong enough to engender loyalty and repeat business from the target market.
