Different businesses have different infrastructure needs. And the choices of clouds, colocation, or dedicated services can be daunting if not confusing. So why choose just one when GoGrid’s hybrid architecture (a union of the best of virtual and physical) provides options for both flexibility and growth? Physical hardware provides guaranteed, dedicated, high-performance coupled with an assurance of strict data control and security, while cloud architecture scales when your business demands it.

10. Hybrid Infrastructure: Martini Media
 Martini Media helps brands across
a number of verticals build mass
influence faster and more reliably
by tapping the new power center
first – Uber-Influencers.
 Their application tracks over 250
million actions a day, leveraging a
Cassandra “NoSQL” database back-
end.
 First attempted their Cassandra Big
Data rollout on a competitor, but
found their virtual-only platform to UBER-INFLUENCERS INFLUENCERS MASS AUDIENCE
lack the consistent I/O and
network performance needed to
leverage Cassandra optimally
 Commodity dedicated servers
clustered via high-performance
networks solved their performance
issues.

11. The Advantages of Hybrid Infrastructure
Best Fit for Most Application Delivery
Web/App Front-End
typically demands rapid
horizontal expansion and Resolves Compliance/Security Concerns
contraction via multiple
load-balanced instances
Delivery of Service can be Precisely
Tuned for Product/Business Needs
Data Stores typically
require less-rapid Highly Customizable Over Time
scalability, greater
performance and higher
security Mitigates Project/Product-Based Risk
without Sacrificing Service Delivery
