A Amazon Web Services Case Study
NEWLOG Consulting is an Italian technology firm (founded 1994) that builds cloud-based applications and document-management solutions for the logistics sector, including the Publisherlite invoice-search product. The company was running its SaaS platform on costly on‑premises infrastructure and relied on slow, unreliable tape backups, creating administrative burden and prompting a search for a secure, cost‑effective cloud alternative.
NEWLOG connected its IBM Tivoli backup environment to Amazon S3 using the AWS Storage Gateway (mounted as iSCSI volumes) for regular backups and a second volume for disaster‑recovery snapshots. Snapshots in S3 can be converted to EBS volumes and attached to EC2 instances to run Publisherlite if on‑premises systems fail. The move improved security and availability, eliminated tape retrieval, and delivered about 30% infrastructure savings over three years and roughly 50% lower administrative overhead.
