Felidae Case Study:Core5

Executive Summary

Felidae Systems, a manufacturing-focused technology provider, was facing latency issues, high infrastructure costs, and security management challenges with its on-premises setup. Core5, an AWS Partner, provided a cloud-based solution using AWS infrastructure, which resulted in reduced costs, improved performance, and better security management, empowering Felidae to streamline operations and scale effectively.

About the Customer
Felidae Systems, established in 2012, is a private company that seeks to bridge the technological gap between the manufacturing industry and other sectors, such as banking and finance, which have rapidly adopted new technologies. Felidae focuses on providing modern digital solutions to businesses in the manufacturing sector, helping them enhance productivity and competitiveness in the digital age.

Customer Challenge
Felidae’s on-premises infrastructure was becoming a significant bottleneck. Their system was prone to latency issues, leading to reduced productivity. The high cost of maintaining and scaling their infrastructure also became unsustainable, preventing the company from expanding its operations efficiently. Furthermore, managing security on-premises was increasingly complex and resource-intensive, leaving the company vulnerable to potential security threats. Without addressing these challenges, Felidae would continue to face operational inefficiencies and escalating costs.

Why AWS
Felidae Systems chose AWS due to its flexible, scalable, and cost-effective cloud infrastructure. AWS provided a reliable platform that met Felidae’s needs for reduced latency, enhanced security, and efficient cost management. With AWS, Felidae gained the ability to scale as needed and leverage AWS’s comprehensive suite of security services, allowing them to focus on growth rather than infrastructure management.

Why the Customer Chose Core5
Felidae selected Core5 for its proven expertise in delivering tailored IT solutions to the manufacturing industry. Core5’s deep understanding of cloud migration and its ability to address latency, cost, and security challenges made them the perfect partner. Felidae appreciated Core5’s customer-focused approach and their ability to deliver rapid returns on investment by implementing AWS solutions.

Partner Solution
Core5 deployed a cloud-based solution using AWS, with a Windows SQL Standard Server (m5a.xlarge configuration: 4 vCPU, 16 GiB memory) at its core. The architecture (as shown in the diagram) involved setting up the application and database (APP & DB) within an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) located in the Mumbai region, utilizing an Availability Zone to ensure high availability and reliability.

The solution included an Internet Gateway (IGW) for secure internet access and a robust Identity and Access Management (IAM) system to control permissions and strengthen security protocols. By leveraging AWS’s secure cloud infrastructure, Core5 helped Felidae optimize its operational environment, reducing latency and simplifying security management. The system’s scalability also allowed for efficient expansion as the company grows.

Results and Benefits
The migration to AWS resulted in a 30% reduction in infrastructure costs for Felidae Systems, thanks to the cloud’s scalability and cost-effective pricing models. The company also experienced a 40% improvement in operational efficiency, driven by reduced latency and optimized performance. Security management, which was a significant challenge previously, was streamlined through AWS IAM, reducing the burden on Felidae’s IT team and allowing them to focus on business growth rather than maintaining complex security protocols.

Next Steps
Felidae plans to continue working with Core5 to explore additional AWS services, such as enhanced automation tools and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, to further optimize operations and support future business expansion.
