Problems Caused by Old Servers ad Dualized Management System

CineFox provides VOD streaming and download services. The company was using our CDN for fast content delivery, while operating their physical resources such as the web server at an IDC near their headquarters in Busan. Over the years, the administrative and maintenance costs began to rise due to old servers, but due to limited resources and budget, they faced limitations in adding new physical servers. Another problem they faced was that their administrative efficiency was poor due to the different locations of the CDN and the physical servers.

Migration assistance and support that transcends distance

So based on an analysis of CineFox’s service environment and needs, we proposed IXcloud, which would be more advantageous in terms of cost. In addition to performing a structural analysis of the infrastructure, we carefully reviewed the instance specifications and environment among other factors and tried to find the best solution through active communication, which required us to make several trips down to Busan. In order to minimize the burden on CineFox, which decided to go ahead with migration, we assigned cloud engineers in addition to the dedicated manager to facilitate the process. At the same time, we provided professional consulting on the infrastructure services that would be necessary for overseas expansion such as a global CDN.

Cost Reduction and Heightened Work Efficiency

As a result of migrating to IXcloud, CineFox was able to maintain high-quality services without purchasing additional servers, and by managing CDN and IXcloud together, they were able to greatly boost their work efficiency. Based on the service management provided by the dedicated engineers, managing the infrastructure operations such as failure monitoring and security control became much easier, and the administrative and maintenance costs incurring from old serves were reduced. On top of that, the company is now able to manage its infrastructure and solutions all the same time even when holding special events and promotions that lead to a surge in traffic. Furthermore, through KINX, boasting global coverage, CineFox was able to better prepare for its global business expansion with convenience.
