Case Study: Harvard University achieves lower costs and better performance with Cheppers' AWS infrastructure optimization

Harvard University cuts infrastructure costs by 30-40% with Cheppers

Harvard University required assistance with its OpenScholar Drupal distribution's cloud-based infrastructure. The customer faced challenges including insufficient in-house AWS expertise, unoptimized resource sizing, improper metrics gathering, and a lack of automation for day-to-day tasks. Cheppers was engaged to stabilize the platform and then enhance its performance and scalability.

Cheppers migrated development environments to AWS, implemented comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch, and reconfigured the entire software stack for optimal performance. The vendor also optimized resource usage for cost-effectiveness and provided 24/7 support. As a result, Harvard achieved a 30-40% reduction in infrastructure costs, significantly reduced downtimes and response times, and gained improved service monitoring.
