Stratalux

Managed services are like golf swings. The smoother, the better.

Stratalux delivers cloud-based managed services to innovative companies like the World Golf Tour. To keep their infrastructure running smoothly, Stratalux turned to Hosted Chef™.

The Challenge

Stratalux, the leader in cloud-based managed services, enables businesses of all sizes to fully leverage the benefits of cloud computing combined with the reliability and expertise of fully managed services. To do so, Stratalux has created a virtual data center on top of Amazon EC2, necessitating a scalable automation engine capable of ensuring service consistency and resource availability, with minimal management overhead.

The Solution

Stratalux deployed Opscode® Hosted Chef™ across its Amazon EC2 cloud infrastructure to automate everything from configuration management and system monitoring to application delivery within its own environments. Stratalux also uses Hosted Chef to build environments, manage applications and deploy services for its clients, including the World Golf Tour and Active Network. With Hosted Chef, Stratalux can quickly and consistently scale its cloud infrastructure to meet customers' needs, improving customer satisfaction and reducing their costs. Hosted Chef has also provided Stratalux with cookbooks and recipes - reusable code - that allows them to onboard customers more quickly and expand capacity for new business.

The Results

  • Real-time infrastructure scaling to stay ahead of user demand.
  • Maximum availability of resources and services, ensuring consistent, high quality solutions.
  • Greater capacity for new business, with less overhead.
  • Improved customer satisfaction while reducing management expenses.
