Mosaia case study - PiKNiK Cloud bare metal offering
How PiKNiK Cloud bare metal offering enables decentralized apps to meet their compute and storage requirements.
This case study highlights how PiKNiK's bare metal solutions provide a more fitting alternative to traditional cloud services for decentralized storage.
Client Challenge:
A decentralized application (dApp) development firm struggled with traditional cloud services that could not meet their unique compute and storage requirements for their application backend. Like many decentralized workloads, the client had a unique ratio of required compute-horsepower to storage capacity that rarely fits within common cloud instance specs unless the pricing is unreasonably high or contracting becomes inflexible.
Public clouds struggled to adjust their offering to tie together scalable block-level storage with a virtual instance that is sufficient for data hashing and parsing through indexed blockchain data.
PiKNiK's approach:
Bare Metal Performance: PiKNiK provided dedicated hardware, eliminating shared resource issues and improving application performance and user experience.
Customized Solutions: PiKNiK enabled the client to tailor their infrastructure, optimizing efficiency for their dApp's specific demands.
Scalable Infrastructure: PiKNiK supported the client's growth with scalable, high-performance servers across multiple locations.
Enhanced Security: As a SOC2-ready provider, PiKNiK ensured high-security standards.
Dedicated Support: 24/7 expert support from PiKNiK facilitated smooth operation and expansion of the client's infrastructure.
Key outcomes:
Performance and User Experience: Significant improvements in application response times due to smarter server architecture that provided 70% faster time-to-first-byte.
Cost Optimization: Flexible contracting model and competitive pricing led to over 50% cost savings.
Reliability: High 99.99% uptime essential for the continuous availability of the client's services.
Takeaways:
PiKNiK's bespoke bare metal solutions proved successful for the client's Web3 infrastructure needs, balancing performance, customization, scalability, and security.
