MBUZZ Technologies encountered the following challenges which inclined them to evaluate and leverage public cloud platforms
- MBUZZ Technologies was constrained to invest a hefty amount for the procurement of IT Infrastructure for their business applications, thereby assuaged for an OPEX Model.
- Critical workloads like SAP, Microsoft, Oracle running for MBUZZ Technologies had a fundamental requirement of placing different technologies on their infrastructure, which aided their inclination to use AWS public cloud platform; which is a one stop shop for uncovering multiple technologies under one roof.
MBUZZ Technologies’ infrastructure was deployed to a single availability zone within the Frankfurt region.
- AWS VPN was used to connect the MBUZZ Technologies’ onsite to AWS Region where the resources were hosted.
- Multiple EC2 instances were launched for SAP B1 Client hosting the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and SAP B2 Server were used to host the SAP HANA Relational Database Management System.
- Multiple EC2 instances with EBS Volumes attached were hosted inside AWS VPC to provide the logical isolation inside the AWS Public Cloud Platform.
- Multiple EC2 instances with EBS Volumes attached were hosted inside AWS VPC to provide the logical isolation inside the AWS Public Cloud Platform.
MBUZZ Technologies’ infrastructure is running on AWS Cloud while leveraging multiple services of AWS like Elastic Compute Cloud to house the various VMs designated for different operations of MBUZZ Technologies and provide secure and resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Each EC2 instance has an attached Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume, a high-performance block storage service designed for use with Amazon EC2 for both throughput and transaction intensive workloads at any scale. This pairing of EC2 instances and EBS Volumes resides safely in the AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). The VPC then provisions a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where the resources were launched in a defined virtual network.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) was used, a storage service offering industry-leading scalability, availability, security, resiliency and performance. Amazon S3 was used to host and store the static content of the application along with Amazon CloudWatch, a service for monitoring and observability of the application and infrastructure resources.
The greenfield deployment project for MBUZZ Technologies took about 2 weeks of effort; in turn subdivided into milestones for setting up the base infrastructure, deploying a set of EC2 instances followed by the configuration of the Microsoft Remote Desktop Services and SAP HANA Database. Finally, concluding it all off by setting up the monitoring and governance tools along with distinct testing schemes.
