Cartera

Cartera provides card-linked marketing solutions, such as advertising offers, that encourage people to use their bank card with a particular merchant.

This case study tells how Cartera was faced with the need to move and consolidate their infrastructure quickly and turned to their hosting provider of three years, NTT America.

Challenge: Consolidation of Infrastructure

In January 2011 Cartera merged with a similar company, Vesdia. Soon after, Cartera learned that Vesdia’s data center hosting provider was closing and that they would need to consolidate their combined infrastructure much quicker than expected, and certainly before the holiday shopping season.

Solution:　The Best Of Both Worlds

The solution proposed was the combination of the NTT America Enterprise Cloud with burst capacity and Dedicated Servers to support specific applications.

Results:　Increased Flexibility and Scalability; Lower Costs

Some of the benefits of the solution were:

• New infrastructure was up and running in just two weeks, and set up to allow Cartera to migrate data at its own pace
• Cartera provisions servers in minutes, enabling pay-as-you-go growth to keep costs down
• Cartera can also burst up to 25% above its stated capacity to meet periodic demand surges
• Cartera can quickly recover in the case of a server failure while enhanced security helps it stay PCI-compliant
• Plus many more!
