Case Study: Intersect Digital's On-Demand Cloud Servers

Intersect Digital
"It is a pretty neat solution. The performance is the same as dedicated servers, I can't tell that most of the servers are virtual. And it is much more cost effective for a system that is only used a lot on a couple of days each month."
—Ore Nuga, Senior Analyst, Intersect Digital

Profile

Intersect Digital LLC, is a digital marketing agency that has developed a reputation as the 'go-to firm' when client expectations are high, time to deliver is short, and their clients' staff is overextended. Comprised of a group of former agency leaders who knew there was a better way to handle digital marketing production, Intersect brings an insider's knowledge and the skills to handle any project for clients whose brands and agencies are among some of the best known in the world.

Challenge

With a roster of several Fortune 500 clients, Intersect needed a flexible solution that would be affordable, yet scale easily to meet demand when traffic spiked. The integrity of the data collected was also of utmost importance to their clients—keeping the database on two replicated dedicated database servers with an additional backup service was required. Intersect was using dedicated server hosting for client projects which was not only expensive, but presented a challenge when traffic spiked, a campaign ended its cycle and competed with compute resources for testing and development.

Solution

GoGrid designed a Hybrid infrastructure that brings Intersect the best of virtual and physical server hosting, all on-demand. Conscious of Intersect’s Fortune 500 clientele and their desire to assure clients that data was secure, GoGrid included a managed backup service for additional data security and a managed hardware firewall for secure connections between the virtual servers and physical servers.
