Global Advertising Technology Company Relies on ePlus for On-Premises Data Center Infrastructure Build

Reduced public cloud spend by more than 50% and increased the ability to support growing business transactions using a scalable platform

The company’s business transactions had been growing rapidly on its self-service platform that allows advertisers to target their ads more precisely, measure their results more accurately, and control their budgets more effectively via a variety of channels.
The platform was built initially upon a public cloud footprint. To reduce its cloud bill and continue to satisfy business growth, the customer decided to build its own data centers, including a compute farm and network backbone in multiple colocations.
They sought data center expertise and project management to ensure the on-prem infrastructure provides cloud-like capabilities and quality.

ePlus has extensive experience and a deep bench in data center build and integration projects, including strong professional services and project control.
ePlus maintains strong relationship with multiple leading vendors in the data center space, helping customers achieve their business goals through innovative technical solutions.
ePlus can provide technical guidance and recommendations to contribute to the customer’s new data center design in both compute and network.
ePlus has a keen understanding of the customer’s business production system, previously building 50 compute-heavy racks with 2,000+ nodes across multiple data centers.

Data Center Services:

ePlus engaged with the customer to discover business and technical requirements for the data center build in scope.
Through a series of design sessions, ePlus created a detailed plan of how to deliver massive compute intensive racks, down to each component, during the supply chain shortage crisis and meet the required timeline.
ePlus developed multiple testing kits, including throughput testing, health check, and inventory cutsheet, to guarantee that all racks of components work as designed meet all of the specifications.
ePlus provided on-site, white-glove services to remediate any risk and ensure production readiness.

By more efficiently utilizing their on-prem compute platform, the customer realized significant cost savings—reducing public cloud spend by more than 50% compared to building on AWS.
The company is now able to support its growing business transactions using the expanded and scalable compute platform.
They received white-glove service from ePlus, with thousands of integrated compute nodes delivered on time.
