Felidae Systems: Cutting latency and cost with AWS

Overview

Executive summary

Felidae Systems, founded in 2012, provides digital solutions that help manufacturers improve productivity and competitiveness. Its on-premises setup suffered from latency, high infrastructure costs and complex security management. Core5, an AWS Partner, moved the environment to AWS.

The challenge

What they were up against

• Latency in the on-premises system reduced productivity.
• Maintaining and scaling infrastructure became too expensive to sustain growth.
• Managing security on-premises was complex, resource-intensive and left the company exposed.

Our solution

How Core5 approached it

• Hosted the application and database tier in an AWS VPC in the Mumbai region.
• Deployed across an Availability Zone for reliability, with secure internet access via an Internet Gateway.
• Governed permissions with AWS IAM to strengthen security and reduce the IT team's workload.
• Ran Windows SQL Standard Server on a right-sized m5a.xlarge instance.
• Designed the environment to scale as the business grows.
