SaaS

Floral Innovations: from one full server to separate environments.

Floral Innovations runs its SaaS platforms for floriculture and the websites of dozens of customers on servers managed by Servermeister. When one server had 149 websites, we split the environment in two: a heavy server for our own platforms and a managed VPS for customer websites.

About Floral Innovations.

Floral Innovations makes floriculture digital, with software, images and AI. Growers and traders use the company’s platforms to showcase and sell plants and flowers.

Floraconcepts: online visualization of plant-pot combinations in a store setting.
Floraphoto: have product photos edited by professionals.
Floriscan: plant information for consumers via a QR code.
Floracontent and Floradesign: product content and design, online and in print.
Web & Digital: websites and webshops for companies in the sector.

This makes Floral Innovations both a software supplier and a web agency. The servers therefore contain their own applications and the websites of their customers.

The challenge.

An environment that grows every year should never become the bottleneck. The team at Floral Innovations asked for a meeting themselves: there was nothing wrong with the server, but they wanted to be ready for the future.

Multiple websites on one server. Proprietary SaaS platforms and client websites shared the same machine.
Storage was full. The SSD was almost full and the team had to free up space regularly. The image storage was approaching the last terabyte.
Mission-critical SaaS. The platforms must remain accessible without downtime; customers work in it every day.
Spreading risk. A problem with one customer website was not allowed to affect the platforms, and vice versa.
