关于客户
WildTangent is an online games service company based in Redmond, Washington. The company operates a cross-device games service that allows consumers worldwide to access games through the WildTangent Games App. The service is fueled by WildCoins, a digital currency, and includes a proprietary ad platform called BrandBoost. WildTangent has a highly mobile and geographically dispersed staff, motivated by a philosophy of employee trust and flexibility. This approach has resulted in one of the most productive and highly satisfied workforces in the industry. The company embraced the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend early on, allowing employees to use personal mobile devices for work purposes, thereby enhancing productivity and employee satisfaction.
挑战
WildTangent, an online games service company, faced significant security challenges due to its bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policy. The company had a highly mobile and geographically dispersed workforce, which necessitated the use of personal mobile devices for work purposes. While this approach increased productivity and employee satisfaction, it also introduced security risks. The initial mobile device management (MDM) solution implemented by WildTangent was difficult to configure, had a non-intuitive user interface, and required frequent manual updates. Additionally, not all features were available on every mobile platform, making it an inefficient solution for the company's needs.
解决方案
To address the security challenges posed by its BYOD policy, WildTangent enlisted the services of Mobilisafe. Mobilisafe offered a minimal footprint and low administrative costs, making it an attractive solution for the company. The product design was simple yet powerful, providing the necessary security without compromising on employee choice or cost. Mobilisafe's solution was easy to configure and did not require frequent manual updates, unlike the previous MDM solution. This allowed WildTangent to maintain a secure environment while still benefiting from the flexibility and productivity gains of its BYOD policy. The IT organization at WildTangent appreciated the low-risk, low-impact nature of Mobilisafe, viewing it as the optimal solution to balance security, employee choice, and cost.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
