Case Study: DataCentred achieves scalable, high-performance OpenStack cloud monitoring with InfluxData

DataCentred - Customer Case Study

DataCentred is the largest UK‑owned OpenStack public cloud provider, offering public and private cloud services built on OpenStack and Ceph as well as datacenter colocation. As an open‑source‑focused DevOps organization and OpenStack sponsor, they needed a scalable, reliable performance‑monitoring stack to ensure high service quality for customers building portable, web‑native applications. Their prior stack—Graphite, collectd and Grafana—became difficult to scale, prompting a search for alternatives.

After testing InfluxData, DataCentred selected InfluxDB for its feature set, performance, ease of deployment and clear technical roadmap. The switch gave them a more scalable, maintainable monitoring solution that met their operational requirements and supported continued delivery of high‑quality cloud services.
