A Joyent Case Study
Teletrac, a global GPS tracking and fleet-management leader monitoring over 200,000 vehicles and processing more than 25 million daily transactions, needed a public cloud that could absorb frequent daily telemetry spikes, scale with rapid .NET-based growth, deliver low-latency data for real-time alerts, and support an operational data store and scalable data-warehouse/BI platform.
Teletrac chose Joyent for its transparent, cost-competitive infrastructure and development environment. Joyent enabled rapid scaling by spinning up virtual .NET machines to handle spikes, sped development with Node.js on SmartOS, and delivered 5–10× better performance versus competitors; as a result Teletrac migrated two-thirds of accounts to a BI platform, reprocessed its entire data warehouse in days, and gained on-demand ETL, improved fault tolerance, and lower infrastructure costs.
