The Challenge
Bidsopt experienced several years of sustained business growth. In 2018, the organization was looking to continue that success and develop further points of presence around the world. Bidsopt was also researching a way to provide extra support for their IT support team that was experiencing capacity issues in dealing with client queries and internal requests. At that time, Bidsopt was utilizing an Amazon Web Services (AWS) solution, which meant scaling or adding supplementary support resources, was too expensive. Bidsopt, therefore, needed an equally impressive and adept Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, but one that could offer better service and value for their investment.
Bidsopt’s Demand Side Platform (DSP) is used in-house and also licensed to clients as a highly scalable, enterprise-level SaaS solution. It connects advertisers and publishers in real-time and processes billions of advertising requests each month. Slow or intermittent performance is not an option for Bidsopt or its clients, who depend on Bidsopt for a highly professional and polished service. Any solution would require the very latest processing power and business continuity support.
The company also needed a more adaptable, flexible system configuration to roll out its DSP at the pace required by their business. As such, the new system would need to incorporate both a hybrid cloud environment and bare metal components. Finally, Bidsopt needed a hosting provider with the agility to rapidly scale up their infrastructure for large projects, and in a short amount of time.
