TMP Worldwide faced two problems: their graduate recruitment systems experienced spiky traffic but had limited resources, and their solutions for clients lacked flexibility but needed retained security. They solved both problems by moving to Rackspace's hybrid cloud, which provided greater flexibility at lower cost than dedicated servers while still ensuring data security through careful architecture and vital monitoring.
