Koofr Cloud Storage Implementation Case Study

This case study details the implementation of Koofr, a secure cloud storage solution that emphasizes user privacy and data protection. Established in 2013 and based in Slovenia, Koofr aims to minimize the personal data it retains from users while ensuring compliance with EU privacy legislation. The document outlines the company's decision to expand its services to include public cloud storage, despite competition from larger providers like Dropbox and Google. A significant aspect of Koofr's operations is its reliance on Icinga for infrastructure monitoring, which is crucial for preventing data loss and outages. The case study highlights the transition from Icinga 1 to Icinga 2, noting the advantages of Icinga's flexible configuration language. It also discusses the integration of Icinga with custom tools and Grafana for monitoring and alerting. Feedback from Koofr's VP of Engineering emphasizes Icinga's reliability and user-friendliness, indicating a positive experience with the monitoring solution.
