Disaster Recovery & Cost Optimization

Issue: Client maintained an in house data center with two colocation facilities on the east coast. Client was interested in moving out of one of the data center facilities and opening up a new DR solution in central US.

 

What we did

  1. Data Center Review
  2. Disaster Recovery Planning & Business Continuity Planning
  3. Cost Optimization

 

Result:

  • ATG was able to work with client to build a disaster recovery plan and work with various stakeholders to coordinate business and technology needs.
  • ATG drove a 18% cost savings in existing data center footprint while also deploying a new DR facility in Central US region
  • ATG worked with client to eliminate the need for all on-prem infrastructure in existing building resulting in full data center turndown.

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.
