The customer is a global analytical company providing ratings, research, and risk & policy advisory services. In order to fulfil their business needs and cater to their growth, they wanted to deploy their infrastructure onto the AWS cloud.
The Challenge
Being the foremost provider of high-end research to the world’s largest banks and leading corporations, the focus was on scalability and high availability. The customer wanted to explore the innovative use of AWS to improve their customer experience.
The Solution
Blazeclan team of certified solution architects deployed the infrastructure on AWS. This included setting up of the security parameters, network configuration and access management.

- The ELB was placed in a Public subnet and internet access will be enabled through it. ELB will distribute the load between servers.
- The Production setup was hosted in multi-AZ. The EC2 instances are placed in an auto-scaling group for high availability.
- MySQL database was hosted on RDS.

- Amazon S3 was used to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere and everywhere.
- AWS CloudWatch was used to monitor the performance of the system.
- Amazon VPC helped in setting up the private network with AWS as it provided isolation and security.
- AWS CloudFormation was used in the production/development/UAT environments for mirroring purposes for automated deployments.
- Amazon RDS service was used to set up, operate and scale relational database and was mainly used for Postgres deployments.
