class="img_ev3q"></a><p>Delivering cloud solutions need not be as complex and costly as some would have |
| thought. With the right technology stack, companies can quickly and easily |
| deploy a flexible and stable IaaS offering to support any business requirements, |
| as proIO discovered.</p><p><a href="https://www.proio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">proIO</a> was founded in Frankfurt, Germany, nearly 20 years ago, as Swen Brüseke |
| explains. “We wanted to create a company based on holistic IT concepts, |
| providing support and advice from system design and creation through to smooth |
| day-to-day running of operations.”, said Swen Brüseke, CEO of proIO.</p><p>The company started by remotely looking after its customer’s physical servers |
| and data centres in both Frankfurt and Hamburg - 24/7. This has grown to the |
| extent that they now support thousands of physical servers.</p><p>During the last few years, customer demand has led proIO to extend its support |
| services with a fully managed cloud offering to become a Managed Service |
| Provider specialising in open-source Linux applications.</p><a class="button button--primary button--lg" target="_blank" href="/files/acs-case-study-proio2023.pdf">DOWNLOAD THE CASE STUDY</a><h2>А Move to CloudStack</h2><p>The company migrated its cloud to CloudStack in 2019 for a number of reasons, as |
| Swen explained. “We had used it for several years on various other projects, and |
| so we had acquired a great amount of working knowledge. This experience |
| demonstrated to us how easy it was to set up a proof of concept and deploy a |
| CloudStack-based solution. It was also much easier to keep up to date once |
| deployed compared to other solutions we had looked at.</p><h2>Fully Redundant Infrastructure Based on Open-Source Technologies</h2><p>Currently, more than 95% of proIO’s virtual machines are Linux based. “Our |
| customers are not bothered whether their operating system is open source or |
| not,” explained Swen. “They just want their apps to run to support their |
| business. We now look after all types of customers from healthcare, hotel |
| booking, through automotive and clothing to publishing.</p><a class="button button--primary button--lg" target="_blank" href="/files/acs-case-study-proio2023.pdf">DOWNLOAD THE CASE STUDY</a><br><br><p>“It’s great the way that everybody helps each other out in the community, |
| contributing what they can to ensure CloudStack continues to develop and refine |
| as a product. I would recommend CloudStack wholeheartedly to any organisation |
| that is looking at developing a cloud-based infrastructure.”, says Swen Brüseke, |
| CEO of proIO.</p></div><footer class="row docusaurus-mt-lg blogPostFooterDetailsFull_mRVl"><div class="col"><b>Tags:</b><ul class="tags_jXut padding--none margin-left--sm"><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/blog/tags/case-studies">case-studies</a></li></ul></div><div class="col margin-top--sm"><a href="https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-www/tree/main/blog/2023-03-10-becoming-a-profitable.md" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="theme-edit-this-page"><svg fill="currentColor" height="20" width="20" viewBox="0 0 40 40" class="iconEdit_Z9Sw" aria-hidden="true"><g><path d="m34.5 11.7l-3 3.1-6.3-6.3 3.1-3q0.5-0.5 1.2-0.5t1.1 0.5l3.9 3.9q0.5 0.4 0.5 1.1t-0.5 1.2z m-29.5 17.1l18.4-18.5 6.3 6.3-18.4 18.4h-6.3v-6.2z"></path></g></svg>Edit this page</a></div></footer></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Blog post page navigation"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href="/blog/apache-cloudstack-4-18-0"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Newer Post</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Apache CloudStack 4.18.0.0 LTS Release</div></a><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--next" href="/blog/future-proof-open-source-platform"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Older Post</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Future-Proof Open-Source Platform Hosting Millions of Websites for Your.Online</div></a></nav></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer footer--dark"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class="margin-bottom--sm"><a href="https://cloudstack.apache.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footerLogoLink_BH7S"><img src="/img/ACS_logo_slogan.svg" alt="Apache CloudStack logo" class="themedImage_ToTc themedImage--light_HNdA footer__logo"><img src="/img/ACS_logo_slogan.svg" alt="Apache CloudStack logo" class="themedImage_ToTc themedImage--dark_i4oU footer__logo"></a></div><div class="footer__copyright"> |
