The challenge
Trackyou's server cluster is central to both the processing of incoming location and event data, and the delivery of resultant information out to users. A reliable web-based infrastructure is therefore absolutely critical to the successful deployment and operation of Trackyou's suite of products and services. Trackyou approached 1st Easy with a requirement for high levels of uptime and performance, so that they could confidently deliver a solution to their clients which would meet their own very high standards.
