How we achieved 67% cost savings with AWS cloud storage solutions

Challenge: Inefficiencies in leasing application and disaster recovery strategy

Our client faced significant challenges within their leasing application’s data storage, leading to increased costs and suboptimal resource utilization. They struggled with several business challenges such as,

• The legacy storage infrastructure required upgrades to handle the increasing data volume from the leasing application.
• The absence of a robust disaster recovery strategy posed a significant risk, potentially causing delays in timely data retrieval and restoration during unexpected incidents. Developing and implementing a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy became crucial to mitigate potential disruptions and ensure operational continuity.

On the whole, addressing these challenges became imperative to streamline processes and ensure a cost-effective data management framework.

Amazon CloudWatch

Here’s what we implemented:

Archiving for cost reduction
Our main objective was to refine the primary storage infrastructure, aligning it seamlessly with the organization’s data demands. We implemented archiving policies to reduce storage costs associated with multiple S3 buckets, each holding 100TB+ data.

Lifecycle policies for efficient data management
Our team seamlessly migrated legacy data to S3, leveraging lifecycle policies. This ensured a cost-effective and streamlined approach to data archiving.

Automated lifecycle management
We deployed AWS Lambda functions with scheduled triggers to automate the movement of objects older than 90 days to a designated directory. Further, objects were transitioned to Amazon S3 Glacier as per the configured lifecycle policy.

Data integrity
Our team ensured data integrity throughout the archiving process with our meticulous strategy, providing a secure approach to disaster recovery and backup.

Observability & reliability
Furthermore, we leveraged AWS CloudWatch to log and monitor the application metrics. This enhanced observability and provided in-depth insights into the application.
