About the client
• Industry: Manufacturing
• Company overview: The client plans, manufactures, and sells a range of industrial equipment and helps make logistics and manufacturing sites more efficient. -
Challenges
• Maintenance for existing on premises servers about to end
Maintenance for the existing on premises servers was about to end, and action was needed to keep operating.
• Many kinds of servers
Several kinds of servers were in use, including NAS, backup, and mail servers, and each was managed differently.
• Security weaknesses
Using several services created security risks, and because incident response differed for each service, operations management was a challenge. -
Solution
• Assessing the existing servers and supporting migration to AWS
Our free assessment evaluated the cost, convenience, and security of the current environment, and we proposed and designed an AWS configuration in which CPU and memory can be adjusted to how the client uses it.
• Consolidating server functions on AWS
NAS, backup, mail, and other server functions were consolidated on AWS. Combining several services, we organized incident response procedures and unified security policies. -
Results
• Less maintenance work and stable operation
Supporting the move from on premises to AWS removed the need to manage and replace physical equipment, contributing to stable and efficient operation.
• Lower security risk
Consolidating server configurations spread across several services and unifying security policies standardized incident response, building a stronger response structure.
• More efficient operations management
An environment where NAS, backup, mail, and other functions are managed together on AWS, with unified management screens and monitoring, has lightened the workload of staff.
• Cost optimization through flexible resources
We helped build a platform where resources can be adjusted to business use, keeping necessary performance while avoiding wasted infrastructure cost.
