Case Studies
ETZ Timesheet Solutions
ETZ Timesheet Solutions is a well established, specialised company that has been supplying innovative timesheet process automation solutions to the recruitment industry since 2000.ETZ Timesheet Solutions was in need of modernising its server infrastructure in order to eliminate downtime and provide a more scalable approach to their hardware needs. Their previous servers were several years old and were beginning to suffer hardware outages.
The infrastructure required includes servers for Microsoft ISA, Active Directory, MOM and SQL Server.
Prior to signing with StratoGen, ETZ owned the hardware that powered their online solution, and co-located it in a datacentre. Whilst this solution delivered good application performance for ETZ customers, management and maintenance of the hardware was taking up 2-3 man days per week, thus detracting from the time available for ETZ technical staff to focus on the development of the application itself.
The hardware refresh meant ETZ were facing a healthy six figure sum to replace the server infrastructure with up to date equipment.
Requirements
- Provide a server infrastructure with zero downtime
- Provide a solution that is easily scalable on demand
- Guarantee service levels
- Disaster Recovery – geographic resilience
- Ability to host 3rd party servers
Highlights
- 100% Uptime Service Level Agreement
- High performance ‘Hybrid’ platform delivering the fastest server response times for the best user experience possible
- Increased resilience through deployment in VMware and multiple datacentres
- Fully managed and supported allowing ETZ to focus on application development

Rippll
Rippll is a location based marketing company which enables brands to target consumers through their mobile devices. Rippll’s solutions serve rich and relevant advertising based on the location of the viewer to increase brand engagement and response. Rippll aims to become the first name in location based advertising solutions.Rippll location based apps rely on high speed exchange of data between the mobile handset and the Rippll back end systems. Users are notoriously fickle and app usage is similar to typical a web site visitor – if the app doesn’t load and work swiftly, first time, the user will leave and choose a different app.
To ensure that client ads and apps are successful, app development has to be supported by a high specification back end system that can deliver content to very demanding response times.
The nature of the Rippll business is that it will always be tied to marketing activity and campaigns. At times of peak demand, multiple ad campaigns will be delivered and this will have a huge impact on the back end systems that are delivering the ad content. Rippll therefore need to be able to cope with large peaks in demand that may only last for days or weeks.
This presents a challenge as typical hardware based hosting platforms cannot scale up and down to meet demand. Hardware solutions have to be designed either to meet the upper end of expectations, leaving the large amounts of resource unused for the majority of the time or for the average usage amount meaning slowdowns due to lack of resources will occur at peak demand.
Requirements
- High performance Hosting solution that can quickly deliver Ad content to users
- Ability to increase and decrease resources in response to level of demand
- Fully managed solution to remove server management overhead on Rippll
Highlights
- Zero set up costs for access to enterprise grade hosting environment
- Short term contracts for resources allowing Rippll to scale the solution based on marketing campaigns
- High performance platform delivering the fastest server response times for the best user experience possible
- Increased resilience through deployment in VMware resource pool on N+1 infrastructure
- Fully managed and supported allowing Rippll to focus on marketing and development
