1. Stay in Control of IT Infrastructure and Prevent Downtime with Azure-Backed Solution for SMBs
“Our solution monitors stability of IT and prevents downtime. This saves businesses thousands of dollars. Such a service requires a rock-solid technology on the backend. Luckily we have Azure, which helps achieve required performance.” – Andrey Vasiliev, CEO, CloudStats
SITUATION
CloudStats’ solution helps businesses identify bottlenecks in their IT infrastructure. Even if it runs without interruption for a number of months, something can go down at the most uncomfortable moment (e.g. during the start of the sale or after spending a lot of money on advertising to attract traffic). Therefore, CloudStats monitors resources 24/7 and cannot afford service interruptions because of a bad network, old hardware or any other reason.

MICROSOFT AZURE ISV PROFILE:
CloudStats is a single SaaS solution to monitor, backup and manage the entire IT infrastructure of a business, no matter how many server instances it has and where they are located. With a primary focus on SMB clients, CloudStats activates within a few seconds and does not require deep technical knowledge and complicated setup. Founded in 2013, CloudStats currently monitors thousands of servers worldwide.
SOLUTION
Microsoft Azure helped CloudStats achieve the three most important requirements for its system to run smoothly: high availability, load balancing and scaling. Azure has a number of configurations, such as availability set, auto scaling and automatic cluster synchronization/failover that made it possible to achieve these requirements in a couple of days. Similar configuration on a dedicated server environment could take months to set up and would still lead to a much more vulnerable solution.
BENEFITS
Microsoft Azure makes it simple to create even complicated backend environments because of many useful predefined configurations.
Azure has certified datacenters in various locations that create geographically diverse systems and make CloudStats’ monitoring diverse, too.
