Il Fatto Quotidianohow can cloud computing support innovation in publishing

Challenge #1Handle traffic peaks, expected and unexpected(up to 3,000 content requests per second).

Challenge #2Reduce costs of infrastructure management.

Challenge #3Make the site safer with high reliability and backups.

Challenge #4Improve user experience through the reductionof response time.

Solution #1Agile and simple infrastructure.

Solution #2Easily replicable components for managementactivities and horizontal scalability.

Solution #3Object storage (replicated on three region)as a starting point for snapshots and backups.

Solution #4Caching on application and infrastructureto reduce latency.

Results #1Response time cut down by 60%.

Results #2Infrastructure operations managementcan be performed during office hourswithout interruptions.

Results #3Simplicity: the infrastructure is more manageable,compared to the previous one.

The naked truth

4x the traffic in less than 1 hour

Why cloud computing?

Time

Reduced complexity and reduced time for new hardwareprovisioning.

Resources are available when needed.

Auto-provisioning makes the customer completely independent.

1. 2. 3.

Costs

No upfrontinvestments.

Resources are billed per minute.

The cost of the infrastructure is directly linked to the server load and therefore to the economic revenue.

1. 2. 3.

Effort

Infrastructure is no more a barrier.

It’s easier to test new versions: the cost of errorsis reduced.

Maintenance is simple and the tools offered by the platform make critical operations more agile.

1. 2. 3.

Let us dothe heavy lifting.

Thank you!
