“The reputations of Carpathia Hosting and AWS, our relationships with both, and their SAS 70 compliance should give customers confidence that Urban Airship is running on the best hosting platform in the world. The speed and flexibility of this approach will allow us to continue to execute well for years to come.”
Mike Herrick, VP Engineering, Urban Airship
Urban Airship – the provider of the world’s most successful mobile apps – chose Carpathia and Amazon Web Services (AWS) Direct Connect to combine the benefits of dedicated infrastructure and cloud to meet all of their requirements. Carpathia developed a solution with Urban Airship that takes advantage of AWS Direct Connect Service, allowing Urban Airship to utilize a hybrid of AWS and a fully managed hosting solution from Carpathia.
The combined solution allows Urban Airship to balance the performance and price of their infrastructure requirements to support their growth. By using Direct Connect, Urban Airship was able to situate their dedicated infrastructure in extremely close geographic proximity to its hybrid cloud infrastructure within a few hundred yards of each other, allowing for incredible connectivity speeds. This investment is just one of many positive benefits for Urban Airship’s customers.
If you're an AWS customer, you have dedicated infrastructure, and you want a single provider to manage it all, Carpathia can help.
If you don't have a cloud services with AWS already, you can utilize the Carpathia InstantOn™ cloud and get the same benefits of a hybrid solution combining cloud services and dedicated infrastructure managed all by Carpathia Hosting.
