Summary
Solutions30, a leading European provider of digital support solutions, partnered with Stratpoint to successfully transform and optimize their Cloud infrastructure, reducing monthly Cloud spend by 24.5%, enhancing Cloud security, and improving scalability, delivering a ~40% cost savings compared to staying on-premise.
Challenges
As part of its evolving Cloud strategy, Solutions30 identified opportunities to align AWS Cloud spend more closely with business growth and usage trends. Solutions30 identified areas for enhancement in its Cloud infrastructure to unlock greater efficiency and agility:
- The potential for automating workload scaling
- Improving resource utilization
- Implementing a more centralized monitoring solution
With modernization at the top of mind, Solutions30 leveraged the natural refresh cycle of its on-prem infrastructure to accelerate its Cloud-first strategy. Transitioning from on-premise would allow Solutions30 to address key areas, including:
- Optimizing data security
- Reducing maintenance costs
- Minimizing the risk of downtime
Solutions
Stratpoint, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner, delivered a multi-faceted Cloud transformation for the client, which included:
A detailed assessment of Solutions30’s AWS environment identified cost-saving opportunities and inefficiencies, leading to a strategic roadmap for Cloud optimization.
Stratpoint re-architected Solutions30’s AWS infrastructure to establish a secure, scalable AWS Landing Zone, establishing a robust foundation for Cloud operations.
Stratpoint integrated CI/CD pipelines, automated scaling with Kubernetes, and implemented open-source tools like Grafana and Karpenter, reducing manual intervention and streamlining operations.
This initiative unified Solutions30’s Cloud management and enhanced security, significantly improving their AWS security score and operational efficiency.
A meticulous data center exit strategy was executed for Solutions30’s France, Spain, Italy, and Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg) systems to migrate 164 on-premise servers to AWS, using lift-and-shift and traditional migration approaches to minimize disruption.
Post-migration, Stratpoint provides continuous support through Cloud Managed Service, ensuring 24/7 monitoring, proactive maintenance, and ongoing optimization.
