The Benefits from a Managed Private IT Infrastructure Makes Goshly More Efficient

Previous to Wowrack, Goshly was deployed in a pure bare-metal environment. Moreover, the atmosphere was utterly unmanaged, which required Goshly to dedicate resources to maintaining their server infrastructure. This environment was not easily scalable and required several physical servers to be deployed, which, as a result, required more physical management of the hardware itself and higher costs. "In our bare-metal environment, we found it extremely cumbersome to expand when needed," says Mark Friedman, CEO of Goshly. He continued, "Provisioning a new server would usually take days, and it created the opportunity for yet another device to have issues. As a SaaS provider, we needed to be able to quickly spin up new servers to keep to our internal deadlines, better serve our customers, and keep up with demand."

With any server deployment, the health and efficiency of that deployment are only as good as the expertise you have behind that environment. Goshly was solely responsible for managing their environment, which was taken away. Precious time that they could otherwise dedicate to serving their core business functions. Furthermore, issues could not quickly be looked into. "As a start-up, having an in-house 24/7/365 team to monitor, remediate, and manage the environment, backup processes, log, auditing, and security functions are cost-prohibitive. We needed a solution that could provide these key services cost-effectively," says Friedman.
