CASE STUDY
It’s very easy to introduce new services to our
customers without needing programmers to develop
and implement them. Mogul is all in on Dev-Ops;
and with the help of virtualization technologies, we
are able to treat much of our infrastructure as code.
This gives us the benefit to deliver new services to
our customers without the need for installing new
hardware, developing custom software, or
experiencing service interruption. Stingray really
helps us with this.
“
”– Johannes Blome, business director of Mogul Cloud Services
IMPROVED… customer experience
REDUCED… time to introduce new services
ACHIEVED… migration to new hosting platform
DECREASED… server hardware costs
