If I had the resources, I would certainly move all our infrastructure from AWS to ServerMania since AWS is very expensive to operate and lacks the customer service ServerMania has provided. ServerMania provides you the unique experience that you have been longing for.
DevOps Director, ComodoInadequate support, responsiveness, and reliability had impacted Comodo’s internal operations and its relationships with customers, so a decision was made to transition to a platform capable of providing the hands-on support Comodo needed.
In addition to unreliable support, Comodo was conscious that their vendor’s managed services were more expensive than other products on the market. The company’s technical leadership felt that alternative infrastructure would prove more cost-effective fora subset of its operations, including development and testing, file storage, and servers to support communications.
Comodo established criteria that their selected vendor must be able to fulfill. Potential vendors were measured against those criteria, the most important of which were:
After an exhaustive selection process, Comodo settled on ServerMania, the only vendor capable of providing the required level of service at an affordable price.
Comodo decided to leverage a range of ServerMania’s infrastructure platforms and management services, including bare metal infrastructure. Today, ServerMania’s data centers host Comodo’s development and testing servers, email servers, and download and storage servers. ServerMania’s Montreal data center also hosts Comodo’s Nutanix Hyperconverged Infrastructure — a cloud infrastructure deployment and management solution.
Comodo’s technical team works with ServerMania’s server and networking professionals to select, configure, and deploy infrastructure on a per-project basis.
After choosing a basic configuration from the ServerMania website, Comodo contacts their ServerMania account manager to discuss possible modifications and to seek guidance about the best infrastructure solution. The ServerMania team analyses Comodo’s requirements and makes infrastructure recommendations. Once a specification is agreed on, ServerMania configures and deploys the required hardware.
When the hardware is up-and-running, Comodo’s team uses the ServerMania platform’s direct console access to install and configure its software. This approach gives Comodo complete infrastructure flexibility and the support and guidance of ServerMania’s expert server administrators.
With ServerMania, Comodo can deploy the infrastructure they need, with short lead times, within budget.
“ServerMania’s 24/7 support service is outstanding. I haven’t seen any other provider even coming close. What’s more, ServerMania always approaches problems with a positive manner. Every staff member I have encountered always made me feel that I was their priority. A very rare experience these days!”
DevOps Director, ComodoServerMania is happy to customize its platform for individual clients. The ServerMania team have been building enterprise infrastructure solutions for many years. They have completed thousands of infrastructure deployments — every ServerMania client benefits from their expertise and ServerMania’s commitment to building custom-engineered infrastructure environments.
ServerMania’s support team is available round-the-clock, seven days a week, with a guaranteed 15-minute response time. Responsive support is vital to Comodo. The company relies on ServerMania’s expertise to build and deploy their infrastructure and to handle any issues that may arise before they impact users of Comodo’s cybersecurity services.
ServerMania’s platform is built with modern enterprise- grade server hardware, but costs significantly less than equivalent technology from other vendors. ServerMania customers benefit from the most reliable hardware without paying a huge premium.
Comodo values ServerMania’s remote hands service, which acts as Comodo’s “on-site IT team” in ServerMania’s data centers. Each of ServerMania’s remote hands technicians is an experienced server and network administrator. In contrast to many infrastructure hosts, ServerMania remote hands are highly skilled. They play a key role in helping Comodo to resolve issues, maintain hardware, and implement configuration changes — ensuring that the infrastructure is always able to fulfill Comodo’s business requirements.
ServerMania’s 100% Network Uptime SLA is a key benefit. Comodo’s customers rely on the round-the-clock availability of Comodo applications, services, and support: the security of their business depends on it.
