Business applications, Security and Migration

Executive Summary

Aligned Technology Group’s customer-centric Catalyst program is pivotal in propelling large scale, high growth IoT startup to excel in engineering, financial, and security domains for international expansion through AWS migration and consolidation.

The
Situation

As a large-scale, high growth startup, Pepper lacked support and resources for AWS Cloud account consolidation, migration, and management. Aligned Technology Group’s customer-tailored Catalyst program provided a cost-effective solution, allowing us to become Pepper’s partner to enable their high growth without financial strain. Thus, Pepper can focus on continuing to scale their business and serve their customers.

The
Solution

ATG leveraged our Catalyst program’s resources to perform a comprehensive cloud security posture assessment. This assessment unveiled security issues that were addressed with appropriate solutions. Additionally, funding discussions with Pepper led to the successful acquisition of the AWS MAP funding mechanism, enabling the seamless implementation of the proposed architecture, which consisted of migrating and consolidating several Cloud accounts into AWS with no interruption to Pepper’s customer services.

Outcomes

MAP funding provided security visibility, empowering migration to AWS with Aligned Technology Group’s expert engineering services.

TCO Analysis Performed

Utilizing Aligned Technology Group’s custom Catalyst program and our aid in securing MAP funding, Pepper achieved optimal cost-efficiency. ATG’s partnership with Pepper as a high-growth startup client not only laid the groundwork for effective resource allocation but also established a promising, long-term financial strategy through our expertise in AWS.

Lessons
Learned

With Aligned Technology Group’s customer-centric products and focus on continued learning within the AWS community, we are poised to continue to service new and existing clients seeing high growth in the start-up sector.

Cost Optimization

Issue: Small AWS deployment with little management oversight and a lack of cloud skills internal to the organization moving from traditional infrastructure to SaaS and cloud based solutions.

 

What we did

  1. AWS Audit
  2. Cost Optimization Review
  3. Ongoing Monitoring

 

Result:

  • Eliminated unused storage volumes and the old application server no longer in use, the charges for AWS resulted in a savings of 51% per month.
  • We’ll continue to monitor AWS billing and finance to ensure maintenance of savings and identify other future changes.
