The Challenge

The client was processing backend workloads on an infrastructure comprising seven physical servers and multiple storage and networks in its on-premise datacenter. The maintenance of the application and the classification, analysis, and processing of its large amount of geospatial data through the existing on-premise infrastructure required 60-75 days, plus a considerable amount of valuable technical resources of the company.

The Consultants of Rapyder proposed their client to migrate their legacy systems on the AWS Cloud Platform because it would not only reduce the operational, maintenance and data processing costs of their application but also help it achieve agility and scalability. The client approved the solution and all their legacy systems were migrated to AWS Cloud Platform within a pre-determined deadline, set by Rapyder.

  • The solution proposed by Rapyder has not only reduced the operational and maintenance costs of our application but also cut down our app data processing time from 60-75 days to under 18 hours. This has increased our GTM (GO TO Market) rate and we are glad that we can now scale our app up and down, whenever required. The AWS spot instance management service of Rapyder is also helping us to save up to 50-90% of our EC2 costs. AWS is fantastic and so is the cloud consulting and monitoring services of Rapyder.
