Raleigh, NC – March 8, 2023 – Aligned Technology Group, Inc. (Aligned) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Infrastructured LLC (Infrastructured).  Infrastructured provides strategic consulting, solution development, training, and workshops that enable web scale companies to simplify cloud migrations, engineering, and infrastructure as code automation.

This acquisition reinforces Aligned’s commitment and intent to grow the company’s Cloud Engineering practice as a key ingredient of their ‘Secure Cloud’ strategy.  Aligned immediately bolsters their world class professional and advisory services with Infrastructured’s depth of expertise, reputation of excellence, organizational IP and renowned Cloud Migration Framework. Through the Cloud Engineering practice customers can expect expanded Cloud Automation services to support Aligned’s current offerings which include Cloud Migration, Cloud Optimization, Cloud Backup & Recovery, Cloud Data & Analytics, Hybrid Cloud, and AWS Cloud Services Provisioning & Orchestration.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Infrastructured team to Aligned Technology Group,” says John Zemonek, Aligned’s Managing Director / Founder. “Our customer base, just like overall cloud adoption, is on a hockey-stick trajectory.  By emphasizing automation strategies, development and execution and adding it to our mantra of empowering the secure cloud, our customers will be able to achieve even greater value from their Cloud.”

A primary driver of the acquisition for Aligned was Infrastructured’s personnel, led by Phil Sautter.  In the young Cloud market, Sautter is a highly experienced and credentialed technologist and visionary, with depth in both cloud solutions development and automation. Prior to founding Infrastructured, Sautter was the product lead for the Terraform ecosystem at HashiCorp.  With Aligned, Sautter fills a newly created senior role of VP, Cloud Engineering.

“With this infusion of vision, talent and know-how, our Cloud Engineering practice is poised to take off” says Zemonek. “But what I am most excited about are the new and creative ways we will be able to help our clients realize their cloud vision by reducing its overall complexity, overhead and cost.”

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.
