Prolink Software – AWS Migration

Background

Prolink offers an entire suite of software solutions to address and automate the data collection and quality analysis tasks performed throughout any organization in the manufacturing industry. The Customer was looking to run 3 websites running. All sites had been developed on a 2-tier architecture with User Interface on a Database layer. All sites under the domains were running on multiple Web servers with SQL Server Standard edition as DB. Customer wanted to migrate their current infrastructure to AWS and looking for the App Maisters team to provide Managed Services.

Solution

Worked with the Client to understand the current architecture and then designed and implemented the entire infrastructure on AWS using the following:

Two web servers were provisioned under ALB. All the websites were deployed on both the web servers
All the servers except the RDP server were hosted in private subnet
Only load balancer and RDP servers were in public subnet
The web servers had a file server mounted for use during deployments as well as user uploads
SQL Server Standard License was included as part of the AWS Infra Cost
Active Directory and DNS were run in High Availability mode across 2 AZ’s, one in an EC2 and one in file server
AWS S3 was used for any Data / Logs backups.
NAT Gateway was added which is Highly Available AWS Managed Service.
Periodic Automatic Snapshots were built in, on successful completion of POC.
EBS – Extension of Hard disk size was automated to manage cost and data growth requirements.
AWS CloudWatch was used for monitoring.
AWS CloudTrail was setup for API and account activity tracking.

Results

All the business-critical applications were migrated to AWS in a smooth and planned fashion with minimum downtime over 3 months.
AWS Auto Scaling helped to keep the application up when there was a high load on the applications.
Usage of spot instances and reserved instances helped in optimizing the cost and produced savings of approximately 30% over on-demand.
