Client Requirements:
A company was looking for a more efficient and cost-effective way to manage their databases. They wanted a solution that would eliminate the need for multiple database administrators and reduce the time and effort spent on backup and vulnerability management. Additionally, they were looking for a standardized approach to data security and disaster recovery.
Issues:
The company was facing several challenges with its self-managed database machines, including significant maintenance requirements for backups, security, disaster recovery, vulnerabilities, and patching. The backup and restore processes were not standardized, and the data at rest was not encrypted, posing a significant security risk. The cost of maintaining disaster recovery was also prohibitively high, making it unsustainable for the company.
DigiClave Solution:
To address these challenges, the DigiClave decided to migrate to a cloud-managed database solution. They defined a three-month program for product-wise migration to AWS DB and implemented standardized backup and encryption processes. They also implemented a low-cost geography replication for databases, ensuring a reliable disaster recovery solution. These solutions allowed the company to comply with an organization-wide data security policy.
Benefits:
The migration to a cloud-managed database solution resulted in significant cost savings of $100k. The company was able to eliminate the need for multiple database administrators and reduce the time and effort spent on backup and vulnerability management. Additionally, the implementation of low-cost geography replication for databases ensured that the company had a reliable disaster recovery solution in place. The standardized approach to backup and encryption processes also ensured that the company was compliant with their organization-wide data security policy.
