Challenges & Solutions

Scaling up their on-premise IT infrastructure required a lot of work, which resulted in inefficiency in handling heavy traffic inflow.

  • Solution: Our team leveraged AWS EC2 to provide scalable on-demand virtual servers. It eliminated upfront server costs and enabled them to auto-scale resources within minutes, meeting traffic surges with proactive management based on predefined metrics.

The retailer suffered an 8% sales plunge during peak hours due to frequent outages, leading to frustrated customers and lost business.

  • Solution: We built redundant virtual servers on Amazon's EC2 cloud for reliable, nonstop operations. This ensures smooth performance, and to tackle traffic spikes, we implemented auto-scaling with EC2, automatically adjusting resources based on demand.

Hiring large staff to manage physical servers wasn’t feasible since it unnecessarily consumes resources.

  • Solution: Our new, fully managed database service eliminates manual work, freeing staff from routine tasks. Automated EC2 instance tracking lets them focus on strategic initiatives, maximizing their impact.

Due to legacy-based infrastructure, security breaches were a primary concern for the company.

  • Solution: Using AWS security groups, we restricted access to only authorized users. We also executed AWS critical management services to store and securely manage encrypted data keys.
