GlenFlow is a consulting and project delivery organization in the field of information technology that provides solutions for multiple industries and verticals—ranging from insurance and healthcare to entertainment and social media.
The company provides services to dozens of clients—from local startups to global S&P organizations, and is dedicated to providing quality service and exceptional product support.
GlenFlow sought the expertise of a seasoned technology partner to optimize their allocation of cloud infrastructure resources and minimize expenses related to their deployments in the healthcare vertical.
NIX was chosen to devise and execute novel strategies, techniques, and systems to enable GlenFlow to offer more effective and dependable solutions to its clients.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a mature cloud platform, but deploying a range of solutions can still pose numerous challenges. GlenFlow encountered several difficulties during deployment, but the most demanding ones were:
Client solutions may necessitate significant processing power or memory usage, both of which must be readily available in the cloud environment.
By leveraging Cloud Governance alongside a serverless solution —complete with automated scaling policies, centralized monitoring, and proactive health checks—organizations can dynamically provision the exact compute and memory resources needed to sustain high performance under any load.
Deploying complex solutions to the cloud can come at a considerable expense, especially for large and intricate systems. Therefore, it’s essential for organizations to carefully assess the cost implications of deploying their solutions to the cloud—considering expenses for hardware, software, and maintenance, along with any additional expenses for services such as bandwidth and storage.
By applying cloud operations practices—featuring granular resource tagging, automated rightsizing and scale-to-zero policies, carbon-aware scheduling, centralized cost and sustainability monitoring, and enforceable budgeting controls—organizations can minimize both financial outlay and environmental footprint by ensuring resources are provisioned only when and where they’re needed.
GlenFlow opted for AWS as their primary platform to tackle intricate problems and implement solutions as AWS is a prominent cloud solution provider that offers versatile tools and widespread, easy availability globally.
After a thorough audit of the existing practices and infrastructure, the NIX team incorporated the following techniques and tools as mandatory aspects for brand-new or existing GlenFlow solutions:
This is a low-cost way to reserve capacity in the AWS cloud for one to three years. When compared to on-demand pricing, RIs offer significant cost savings, making them an appealing option for GlenFlow with steady-state workloads.
Auto-scaling enables the automatic adjustment of compute capacity based on workload demand, which helped GlenFlow improve efficiency by ensuring resources are available when needed and reducing costs by scaling down as demand wanes; by integrating this with a robust CI/CD pipeline and leveraging the flexibility of AWS Fargate on Amazon ECS, GlenFlow can continuously deploy updates, automatically provision containerized tasks, and adjust service capacity without manual intervention.
AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that removes the burden of managing and provisioning servers, enabling developers to concentrate on code creation. The NIX team adopted this approach as a key shift in the future development to improve performance and cut costs, as users are only charged for the computing time utilized.
AWS CloudWatch and CloudTrail provide comprehensive monitoring and alerting capabilities for infrastructure, allowing for real-time identification of performance issues and potential cost overruns.
NIX’s holistic approach resulted in optimizing GlenFlow’s med-tech environments by combining technical and organizational solutions with the adoption of best practices to strike the optimal balance between cost, performance, security, and compliance.
