Case Study: Orbis Financial achieves 70% backup cost savings and zero outages with Amazon Web Services

Orbis Financial Cuts Backup Costs by 70% Using AWS

Orbis Financial is an India-based custodial services firm that supports banks, funds, and high‑net‑worth clients with transaction settlement, dividend processing, and fund administration. The company struggled with a legacy on‑premises UAT environment that experienced about 10 outages a month, slowing thousands of daily report customizations, lengthening development cycles, and generating high backup and archiving costs.

Orbis migrated its UAT environment and backups to AWS (running on Amazon EC2 and RDS with backups in S3 and Glacier) with minimal code changes. The move eliminated outages, cut report customization time to about one hour (from four to eight), reduced backup costs per GB by 70%, lowered UAT IT costs by 10%, increased management efficiency by 10%, and sped software development by 20%, while simplifying infrastructure administration.
