The Customer
Founded in Singapore in 2014, Bidsopt is a digital advertising network that provides security and durability for the global campaigns of their customers while guaranteeing a high level of performance. They build innovative advertisements and monetization solutions for advertisers and publishers.
The Challenge
Bidsopt experienced several years of sustained business growth. In 2018, the organization was looking to continue that success and develop further points of presence around the world. Bidsopt was also researching a way to provide extra support for their IT support team that was experiencing capacity issues in dealing with client queries and internal requests. At that time, Bidsopt was utilizing an Amazon Web Services (AWS) solution, which meant scaling or adding supplementary support resources, was too expensive. Bidsopt, therefore, needed an equally impressive and adept Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, but one that could offer better service and value for their investment.
Bidsopt’s Demand Side Platform (DSP) is used in-house and also licensed to clients as a highly scalable, enterprise-level SaaS solution. It connects advertisers and publishers in real-time and processes billions of advertising requests each month. Slow or intermittent performance is not an option for Bidsopt or its clients, who depend on Bidsopt for a highly professional and polished service. Any solution would require the very latest processing power and business continuity support.
The company also needed a more adaptable, flexible system configuration to roll out its DSP at the pace required by their business. As such, the new system would need to incorporate both a hybrid cloud environment and bare metal components. Finally, Bidsopt needed a hosting provider with the agility to rapidly scale up their infrastructure for large projects, and in a short amount of time.
The Solution
Bidsopt began working with Leaseweb in June 2018, following an analysis of offerings from other hosting companies, including provider AWS, as well as OVH and Google Cloud.
Leaseweb provided Bidsopt with 35 dedicated servers that can scale and provide a global infrastructure to grow with the organization. Hosted by Leaseweb, these servers drive Bidsopt’s business and ensure the DSP handles processor-intensive workloads at high speed and without system failures.
Leaseweb also provided Bidsopt with a dedicated support team to assist with server resource management and engineering issues. Additionally, Leaseweb supplied Bidsopt with disaster recovery as a service (DraaS) solution that utilized Bidsopt’s servers in the US and Singapore.
