Additionally, its subsidiary, Immobiliare.it Insights, provides detailed real estate data analysis to financial institutions and investors. The emphasis on in-house development ensures unique, technologically advanced, and data-driven solutions.
As Immobiliare.it continued to grow, the complexity of its infrastructure escalated significantly. With most development handled in-house and teams moving fast, they needed a storage solution that could scale just as quickly without getting in the way.
While Ceph offered the flexibility and control they initially sought, performance challenges emerged as the infrastructure scaled more rapidly than expected. These issues were an expected part of any fast-growing environment, posing a problem for maintaining efficiency.
Immobiliare.it recognized the need to move from merely responding to issues to proactively preventing them. To keep the platform resilient and the team confident, they realized strengthening the quality of their Ceph infrastructure was crucial.
To stay ahead of potential issues and remain ready for what's next, Immobiliare.it took a proactive approach to bolster their internal knowledge. This included enhancing their understanding of Ceph, ensuring the team felt confident managing the platform.
Immobiliare.it first reached out to 42on for Emergency Assistance when their infrastructure scaled faster than expected, leading to performance challenges. 42on provided hands-on support by bringing in a trusted expert who understood their system, offering critical insight into unfamiliar territory. This early support gave the infrastructure team room to breathe and avoid burnout during critical moments, ensuring that someone was always available to help Immobiliare.it to make tough calls under pressure.
Recognizing a deeper need, Immobiliare.it brought in 42on for dedicated Ceph training, focusing on practical knowledge tailored to their setup, pace, and way of working. This training helped align the team, clear up misunderstandings, and gave both developers and infrastructure engineers a stronger grasp of the platform. To support this long-term, 42on performs quarterly health checks together with Immobiliare.it, which are key to maintaining the ongoing health and performance of the Ceph cluster.
Immobiliare.it transitioned from a reactive setup to a stable, well-structured environment. Instead of addressing issues as they arise, the team now follows a clear operational rhythm with scheduled reviews, defined maintenance windows, and transparent plans for updates.
The dedicated Ceph training built upon that foundation, giving their developers and infrastructure team a deeper understanding of the platform. Small issues that once felt uncertain are now easier to handle internally, and when a second opinion is needed, the team knows exactly where to turn.
Immobiliare.it continues to fine-tune its storage setup, reintroducing Ceph as part of a broader, long-term strategy, resulting in a more stable and predictable infrastructure. This stability supports their growing digital business and minimizes unexpected disruptions.
With a more stable and predictable infrastructure, Immobiliare.it's teams are now free to focus on what truly matters: building great products and moving the platform forward. This shift allows for greater innovation and strategic development, unburdened by constant infrastructure concerns.
42on supports Ceph teams with the complete operation of Ceph clusters by providing Consultancy, Training, Emergency Assistance, and Managed Services.
