1. A Combination of Public and Private Cloud –
the Interlake Hybrid Cloud Management Suite
“Interlake and Azure gave us a customizable and scalable management scenario to unite all of our business workflows in a single solution that gave us control of costs and sensitive data.” – Edward Liebenburg, Senior Project Manager, Digicor
SITUATION
Digicor came to Interlake with a request: It required the adoption and consolidation of various existing cloud and on-premises solutions with different APIs/management tools to handle short-term peaks like marketing campaigns with automatic upscale and scaledown after the peaks to saves costs. To make that happen, Interlake needed a well-documented and consistent API to make the consolidation of different components into one framework easier.
