挑战

Naitways, an IT service provider based in Paris, France, was facing challenges in scaling to meet customer demand, especially for the many stateful services they offer like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, MySQL, & Redis. Most persistent storage options for containers didn’t provide both high performance storage for applications like MySQL, and multi-writer shared volumes for WordPress, both hard requirements for typical hosting customers. They needed a solution that could provide scalable, easy-to-use container-as-a-service offering and hosted web applications.

关于客户

Naitways is an IT service provider company, based in Paris, France. The company is composed of two business units, the hosting business unit, and the infrastructure business unit. Founded 10 years ago, Naitways' mission is to help and advise their clients with their infrastructure, especially as they move into the cloud. In order to provide the best service to their clients, they have built their entire infrastructure themselves from scratch. They have always offered a VMware based private cloud, but nowadays, more and more customers are asking for public cloud services. For these services, they are using Kubernetes. They now have around 30 employees and they look forward to hiring new talent in 2018.

解决方案

Naitways decided to use Kubernetes and Docker container management platform for a scalable, easy-to-use container-as-a-service offering and hosted web applications. They also chose to use Portworx Enterprise for cloud native storage and data management. Portworx enabled Naitways to increase revenue by offering an easy upgrade path for customers to purchase additional storage or backup services. Portworx reduced Naitways’ time to market by allowing it to focus on building customer functionality since core operational requirements like high availability and backups were taken care of. Portworx increased Naitways’ operational efficiency by automatically handling common failures that occur in a dynamic server environment like server failures and network partitions.
