Case Study: a UAE-based digital bank cuts cloud costs and boosts security with Intellias cloud optimization

Cloud Optimization Strategy for a Digital Bank

Intellias partnered with a UAE-based digital bank to address challenges within its cloud infrastructure. The bank's digital trade finance solution, built on integrated off-the-shelf products and Azure cloud-native applications, was experiencing overprovisioning and underutilized resources. Following a comprehensive technology assessment, Intellias was tasked with implementing a cloud optimization strategy to reduce costs and enhance cybersecurity.

The Intellias team implemented a multi-faceted solution focused on optimizing integrated development environments, hardware subscriptions, and Azure services like Cosmos DB. They applied cost-saving measures, implemented Azure Autoscale and Monitor, and strengthened security using native Azure tools and Splunk. As a result, Intellias reduced the bank's total cloud infrastructure ownership cost by 30%, significantly increased operational stability, and enhanced cybersecurity to meet regulatory requirements.
