The challenge
As Clouding’s infrastructure expanded, encompassing both substantial flash storage for virtual machines as well as spinning disks for backup within the multi PB data range, the complexity of managing their Ceph clusters intensified. Operating these clusters successfully for more than five years, Clouding had achieved impressive results, supporting ten thousands VMs and managing a vast array of backup data with great efficacy. However, with this growth came an increased need for specialized knowledge and support.
Recognizing the importance of ensuring the reliability of their services, Clouding sought to bolster their expertise. The goal was to add an extra layer of knowledge for support and consultancy, a partner who could provide insights, resolve doubts, and discuss sophisticated technical questions. This need stemmed from a desire not only to maintain their current operational excellence but also to prepare for future scalability and challenges.
The quest for enhanced support was driven by Clouding’s commitment to continuous improvement and innovation, ensuring that their infrastructure could keep pace with the demands of their growing clientele and the evolving landscape of cloud services.
The solution
Cloud Infrastructure Enhancement
To address their need for advanced expertise and support, Clouding made the strategic decision to engage with 42on for Emergency Assistance. This partnership was aimed at enhancing Clouding's capability to manage their expansive Ceph clusters, ensuring both their current and future needs could be met with precision and confidence. 42on, known for in- depth knowledge and swift response times, offered the specialized consultancy and support Clouding sought to navigate the complexities of their growing infrastructure.
Efficient Expert Guidance
The impact of engaging 42on was immediate and profound. Clouding gained peace of mind and the ability to tackle significant system changes, upgrades, and troubleshooting with expert guidance more efficiently. This shift not only enhanced operational stability but also saved valuable time, allowing the team to focus on strategic initiatives. The reassurance from 42on's support, as Xavier notably mentioned, brought back his confidence in the system's reliability, highlighting the partnership's success in strengthening Clouding's operational framework.
The results
Since partnering with 42on, Clouding has experienced enhanced support, significantly reducing operational stress and allowing the team to concentrate on strategic growth rather than daily issues. This shift has freed resources for innovation, with team members like Xavier finding renewed confidence in the system’s stability.
Clouding’s future is focused on strengthening their platform’s reliability and expanding features, with a particular emphasis on leveraging Ceph for its robust storage solutions. The decision to integrate Ceph into their infrastructure was strategic, chosen for its reliability, scalability, and strong community support, aligning perfectly with Clouding’s goal to offer a fail-safe IaaS platform.
Moving forward, Clouding plans to deepen its use of Ceph, exploring new ways to enhance its storage capabilities and innovate their service offerings. This commitment to Ceph is a testament to Clouding’s dedication to providing a top-tier, reliable service, ensuring they remain leaders in the IaaS market.
