Case Study: Azure achieves 73% cost savings and 99.99% uptime with Improving Nearshore

Azure - Customer Case Study

The customer, a safety and compliance mobile tools provider for the construction industry, was struggling with a legacy application hosted on Amazon EC2 that had significant security vulnerabilities and high fixed costs. Their system was frequently hacked, leading to widespread virus infections that prevented field employees from working. Improving Nearshore was engaged to address these critical challenges and secure their infrastructure.

Improving Nearshore proposed and executed a migration to Microsoft Azure to enhance security and reduce costs. Their solution included creating a secure cluster of virtual machines, implementing a honeypot, adding six layers of security, using a load balancer, moving a 2.5 TB database to Azure's Database as a Service, and establishing a secure VPN. This resulted in a 73% reduction in monthly costs, 99.99% uptime, and a 100% reduction in support tickets for the client.
