World Largest Electronics Manufacturing Company - Customer Case Study

When one of the world’s largest electronics manufacturers wanted to reduce their large and exponentially growing Amazon Web Services bill for object storage and regain control of their data, they turned to Triton Object Storage and a Private Region solution from Joyent. After growing to become one of AWS’ largest customers, the company's cloud bill ran into the hundreds of millions of dollars per year. It was pumping hundreds of petabytes of data each year into AWS, and with each additional petabyte its cloud bill and its dependency on AWS as a provider grew. Further complicating this relationship, AWS began making forays into the company’s market space with competing products and services. Faced with these realities, this organization turned to Joyent to build and run a Private Region to support a hybrid cloud architecture for them where large predictable (and data intensive) applications are run on a Private Region, while unpredictable workloads continue to run on AWS. Today the first of several Private Region data centers are up and running, with several more around the globe currently in development. Now, this organization is on its way to saving hundreds of millions of dollars while eliminating its dependency on a single (and potentially competitive) cloud vendor.
