The Challenge
The client had their infrastructure setup on a physical data centre. The solution was developed on Microsoft Windows platform. The challenge was about scalability, security and cost optimization. The end users experienced performance issues especially during high peak hours of the application access. Overall cost of running the application stack was higher and required to be reduced and optimized. Finance teams also wanted to reduce the operational costs of the systems and manpower. At the same time the development teams required a reliable and secure infrastructure for their applications without impacting the performance of their application to the end users.
