挑战
Wild Bamboo Rocket, a small consulting company, identified that cloud computing was fundamentally changing the business and technology model for startups. The traditional model of launching a startup involved hiring in-house system administrators, buying and setting up the hardware, and then starting the development work. This model was suitable for larger startups with substantial funding and in-house expertise. However, the challenge today is to deliver a comparable level of service but at a lower cost and with faster results. Wild Bamboo Rocket needed to quickly address clients’ needs to win new business and then quickly assemble the right team and deliver results. They believed that cloud computing could make this possible.

解决方案
GoGrid has been Wild Bamboo Rocket’s Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) partner since their very first customer. They chose GoGrid because of the information availability, understanding of the pricing model, and the time GoGrid took to work with them. They have set up three server topologies in the last two years – two for startups and one for a client with a legacy system. The selection of the best topology for a given customer is based on the level of service required, coupled with available budget. They found GoGrid’s web interface to be very easy for quickly deploying virtual and dedicated servers. They are currently establishing a geographic failover capability within GoGrid’s East Coast data center to complement the primary infrastructure on the West Coast.

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.
