Comprehensive Infrastructure Audit and Optimization for Software Development Company
Highlights
A leading eCommerce agency specializing in end-to-end online store solutions, aimed to boost the reliability and performance of its infrastructure to support its expanding client base. Their primary objectives were to optimize existing systems, enhance fault tolerance, and create a scalable infrastructure that could meet future demands. Our comprehensive infrastructure audit and optimization achieved these goals by modernizing client’s systems, ensuring they can efficiently handle increased loads. By implementing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools, we streamlined infrastructure management, reduced operational costs, and improved system stability.

Challenge
The challenge was to conduct a thorough audit and optimization of their existing systems while ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations. The client required an infrastructure capable of handling high loads and providing maximum uptime, critical for their end-to-end online store solutions. The project demanded careful planning and precise execution to optimize performance, increase fault tolerance, and integrate advanced infrastructure management tools seamlessly.
Solution
Our team initiated a comprehensive audit of the client's existing infrastructure, focusing on areas that required optimization. We started by evaluating and reconfiguring the company's hypervisors for efficient virtualization management and proceeded to update server software to the latest versions. This initiative aimed to enhance fault tolerance and increase server uptime. By identifying and decommissioning outdated servers, we managed to migrate critical projects to more powerful and secure alternatives without causing any disruption to business operations.
Furthermore, we enhanced the company's monitoring systems and established a new backup strategy to ensure the integrity and security of customer data. These upgrades were critical given the vast amount of data our client manages. To facilitate ongoing infrastructure management, we implemented Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform, Ansible, and Salt, allowing for centralized control and efficient infrastructure updates. We provided a detailed infrastructure diagram outlining the current setup, highlighting potential bottlenecks, and proposing areas for further optimization.
