Project Overview
Informatics360 partnered with a mid-sized logistics enterprise aiming to modernize its outdated IT infrastructure. The company relied heavily on on-premise systems that were costly, hard to scale, and lacked real-time data visibility.
Our cloud consulting and deployment experts implemented a hybrid cloud solution powered by Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). The result:
✅ 47% cost reduction
✅ 99.98% uptime
✅ 75% faster data processing across three European branches.
The Challenge
The organization faced growing performance and cost inefficiencies, including:
- ⚙️ Aging on-premise servers with £60,000+ annual maintenance costs.
- 📈 Scalability issues during seasonal demand surges.
- 🕒 4.5-second data latency between London, Berlin, and Madrid offices.
- 🔐 GDPR compliance risks due to poor data encryption.
- 💸 Unpredictable infrastructure costs impacting operational planning.
The client needed a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environment without disrupting daily logistics operations.
Our Cloud Consulting Approach
Informatics360’s Cloud Consulting & Deployment Framework ensured a seamless digital transformation from on-premise to hybrid cloud.
1. Cloud Readiness Assessment
We began by evaluating workloads, performance baselines, data compliance needs, and future scalability goals. Using our in-house Cloud360 Assessment Model, we designed a strategy tailored to TransLogix’s business objectives.
2. Hybrid Cloud Architecture Design
A custom hybrid environment was created using:
- Azure Virtual Machines for ERP and operational workloads
- AWS S3 for distributed data backup and storage
- Azure Active Directory for unified identity management
- ExpressRoute for high-speed, private connectivity
This architecture provided the perfect balance between cost-efficiency, control, and global performance.
3. Automated Deployment with DevOps
Using Terraform, Ansible, and Azure DevOps, we automated infrastructure provisioning and CI/CD pipelines, reducing human error and accelerating deployment cycles by 94%.
4. Secure Data Migration
With zero downtime, databases were migrated to Azure SQL and Amazon RDS. Kubernetes clusters were deployed for microservices, ensuring containerized scalability.
5. Security & Compliance Implementation
We implemented:
- Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)
- AES-256 encryption
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
- GDPR and ISO 27001 compliance policies
- Disaster recovery automation using Azure Site Recovery
6. Cost & Performance Optimization
Through CloudHealth and Azure Cost Management, we provided dashboards that enabled real-time monitoring, performance analytics, and cost control recommendations.
