挑战
GameChanger 运行一个复杂且可弹性扩展的云基础设施，该基础设施托管在 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 上，以支持其移动和基于 Web 的应用程序。此环境包括多个数据库和服务，每个数据库和服务都需要监控。从数以万计的来源获取数据，将其转换为易于阅读的片段，然后实时推送给粉丝，这意味着 GameChanger 必须随时准备好处理高流量、大量 I/O 并解决问题。GameChanger 首先从开源组件 Graphite 和 StatsD 内部构建了自己的基础设施监控工具。这些自主开发的监控工具完成了工作，但价格昂贵：它们需要额外的 1,000 美元 AWS 资源和每月超过半个 FTE 的小时数才能保持 GameChanger 的运行。
关于客户
GameChanger ( www.gamechanger.io ) 开发了一款流行的 Android 和 iOS 应用程序，用于记录业余篮球、棒球和垒球队的得分、统计数据等。GameChanger 每周末记录数万场体育比赛的得分，通过短信、电子邮件和移动应用程序向在线粉丝推送实时更新。该公司运行一个复杂且可弹性扩展的云基础设施，托管在 Amazon Web Services (AWS) 上，以支持其移动和基于 Web 的应用程序。此环境包括多个数据库和服务，每个数据库和服务都需要监控。
解决方案
GameChanger 基础设施组的工程师首先推荐了 Datadog。Savino 发现 Datadog 的监控解决方案完全符合 GameChanger 内部想要做的事情，但采用易于使用的交钥匙解决方案，成本更低，无需专门的 FTE 时间。Datadog 与 AWS、MongoDB、StatsD 以及构成 GameChanger 基础设施的许多其他服务和数据库无缝集成。这种即时集成使公司能够快速轻松地切换到 Datadog。设置基本监控显示和自定义警报同样简单易行。GameChanger 不再需要依赖昂贵且耗时的内部解决方案；相反，它可以使用 Datadog 监控其整个基础设施。

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.
