World Largest Retailing Company - Customer Case Study

When one of the world’s largest retailers began expanding its mobile commerce platform, they turned to Triton Compute and a self-managed private cloud, augmented by expert support from Joyent for both its private cloud infrastructure and its chosen development framework: Node.js. Their pre-existing web commerce platform ran on OpenStack, consumed more than 3,000 servers and required the support of nearly 1,000 developers and operators. As they began to develop their mobile commerce platform they knew they had to do better. Because they were able to run containers on Triton's Elastic Bare Metal service for greater server density, their mobile commerce platform consumed 90% fewer servers. Leveraging Triton's operational tooling and application debugging capabilities together with expert, full-stack support from Joyent, they were able to operate their mobile commerce platform with 90% fewer administrators and developers. Today their mobile commerce platform is an efficient engine of growth for their business.
