挑战
Sleepy Giant, an independent online game company, was in need of a public cloud solution that could provide flexibility in scaling infrastructure up or down at a moment's notice. The gaming industry is characterized by unpredictable usage spikes due to organic, viral uptake and paid promotions. When these spikes occur, it is crucial that infrastructure be quickly scaled up. If increased usage is not met with adequate infrastructure, then players suffer from decreased response times, the game experience deteriorates and opportunities are missed. Sleepy Giant also required a support team with broad knowledge and competence to help build the right infrastructure for its partners. They were seeking a team that could provide customized solutions and recommend proven options to meet the continuously expanding needs of its diverse projects. Lastly, Sleepy Giant wanted to reduce infrastructure costs while continuing to deliver improvements in performance to customers. This meant considerations of alternatives to ownership and management of physical hardware.

解决方案
Sleepy Giant chose to deploy on the Joyent Cloud because of Joyent's unique, purpose-built infrastructure and knowledgeable support team. The Joyent Cloud enabled Sleepy Giant to use resources efficiently for both its small and large partners. Joyent's SmartOS technology provided Sleepy Giant with a way to bootstrap new games and then quickly scale up for launches. Additionally, Joyent’s dynamic scaling capacity eliminated the need for virtual servers in response to usage spikes. After starting with the deployment of a few servers, Sleepy Giant has grown its footprint to hundreds of Joyent web application servers, Riverbed Stingray load balancers, and Percona MySQL appliances for optimized, high-performance MySQL data stores. Sleepy Giant is able to take advantage of customizing the Joyent Cloud on the fly by adding or removing virtual CPUs, disk space, and RAM as needed. Sleepy Giant continually benefits from Joyent's up-to-date knowledge and involvement in cutting-edge technology. Joyent continually introduces new and improved ways of solving problems, whether the solution is one of its own offerings or one from a third-party vendor that compliments Joyent's offerings.
