Arihant Capitals is a leading financial services company. Working with Core5, an AWS Partner, it migrated its IT infrastructure from on-premises systems to AWS to improve operational efficiency, scalability, security and cost.
The challenge
What they were up against
- On-premises infrastructure was hard to scale and manage.
- It struggled with fluctuating workloads and keeping mission-critical financial applications highly available.
- Operational inefficiencies, security concerns and limited flexibility for large volumes of financial data and transactions.

Our solution
How Core5 approached it

- Migrated databases to Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL with automated backups and high availability.
- Distributed traffic across multiple EC2 instances using an Application Load Balancer.
- Added Amazon CloudWatch for real-time monitoring and logging.
- Used Amazon S3 for records, CloudFront for fast delivery and Route 53 for low-latency DNS.
- Right-sized compute with t3a.large (production) and t3a.medium (staging) EC2 instances.
