In 2009, Atrápalo considered changing its provider for two main reasons: an international expansion of its business and expectations of improvement. The company contacted Claranet, who offered a solution adapted to its business growth strategy with hosting services in Europe and the United States. Precisely, the management of the infrastructure on both continents through a single interlocutor was a key factor in Atrápalo's decision.
“We chose Claranet for reasons of service, quality and cost. Claranet gave us a clear advantage over other providers, as we were able to have a data center in the United States and another in list of bermuda consumer email Barcelona, both managed by a single provider.” Víctor Guardiola, Senior Software Architect at Atrápalo.
For Atrápalo, it was very important to have a data center in the US, since this location allowed them to optimize the performance of their resources and obtain good SEO positioning. Finally, after carrying out tests in the US and Europe, Miami was the best option in terms of latency, being the best connected city in the world with most carriers and connectivity providers.
Technical solution
After studying Atrápalo's parameters and needs, Claranet designed a technical solution together with Atrápalo, allowing it to respond to the client's needs, as Guardiola explains: "Claranet's solution is characterized by its flexibility and scalability, allowing us to grow both in the infrastructure for the main market as well as in the US infrastructure, which allows us to continue with the international expansion strategy."
Atrápalo's solution includes high availability in all infrastructure services and geographical dispersion of Atrápalo's services across two continents, Latin America and Europe. All this through a single interlocutor to operate the service, Claranet. Another outstanding value of the solution is its flexibility, which allows Atrápalo to perform upgrades and downgrades according to the demand of its clients. All this, with cost control adjusted to the resources used and with immediate response times.
