Boost My Shop customer case
The MediaHub group, experts in the e-commerce market and software publishers specializing in e-commerce solutions, created BoostMyShop.com in 2010 to offer the Magento CMS and Prestashop add-ons - management tools in the form of extensions.
Their expertise in the e-commerce business has enabled them to design and offer high-performance, optimized applications for e-tailers wishing to improve customer care and order processing. Boostmyshop develops and offers its own management tools for French and international e-commerce sites.
From physical servers to private cloud
Having identified the need to better manage their business by gaining in capacity, Boostmyshop decided to entrust Ikoula with the outsourcing of its architecture and to migrate its two physical servers to the Private Cloud. These servers managed all the Mediahub group's e-commerce sites, architecture and services.
Migration to the private cloud provides a degree of flexibility, enabling all service elements to be resized independently of each other. Boostmyshop's wish is to be able to adapt each VM using a load balancer to optimize its business activities, but also to keep internally, in a private VM, all the elements that concern Boostmyshop's IT department.
Boostmyshop migrates its physical servers to the private Cloud for better management of its activities.
Ikoula's CloudStack private cloud solution
CloudStack is a turnkey technology providing the “Stack” of functionalities demanded by businesses: orchestration tools, NaaS, administration and user management, a complete native API and a full web interface. Developed in 2009 by Cloud.com, acquired by Citrix in 2011 and then sold to the Apache Foundation in 2012, CloudStack™ is today the leader in private, public or hybrid Cloud deployment.
CloudStack enables in particular:
- Elastic virtualization management with support for all hypervisors
- The creation of customized templates for installations on a blank system
- A NAS: single network, multi-tenant, or physical (DHCP, NAT, load balancing, VPN...)
- Adjust resources of adaptable virtual machines without having to recreate them.
Ikoula was able to guide us in setting up our private Cloud under CloudStack. Every difficulty we encountered was quickly dealt with by the support team, and we congratulate them on their expertise!
