Client Challenge

d6 faced challenges in managing their AWS cloud infrastructure efficiently. They needed to streamline specialized backups, automate manual workflows, and bolster security measures for their cloud-based solutions. With a growing client base and increasing data, their operations were becoming more complex. Failure to address these issues would result in inefficiencies, increased risk of data loss, and delayed responses to security incidents, ultimately impacting their ability to scale and deliver high-quality services to schools.

Partner Solution

Dudobi worked closely with d6 to enhance their cloud operations by automating critical workflows and optimising infrastructure management using AWS services. At the core of the solution was AWS Lambda, which automated key tasks such as backups, instance resizing, and monitoring. The team implemented a solution that leveraged Amazon EventBridge to trigger automated actions based on specific events while integrating AWS Backup for secure, scheduled backups of client data. The use of AWS CloudWatch provided comprehensive logging and monitoring, ensuring that d6 could easily track and analyse system performance.

By automating manual tasks, streamlining workflows, and improving cloud security, Dudobi enabled d6 to enhance operational efficiency and reduce the time spent on routine management. Additionally, the solution included notifications via Amazon SNS to keep the Ops Team informed of system activities. This allowed d6 to focus more on its core business while ensuring that its cloud environment remained secure, efficient, and scalable.

Results and Benefits

The implementation of this AWS-based solution saved d6 significant time and resources by automating critical workflows and optimising cloud operations. The automation of backups and scaling processes freed up the operations team from time-consuming manual tasks, improving overall productivity. Additionally, the enhanced security measures and streamlined processes provided greater operational efficiency and helped d6 to scale its infrastructure seamlessly. The solution reduced the time spent on routine tasks by 40%, allowing d6 to focus on delivering value to their clients. The improved infrastructure management also contributed to a 25% reduction in operational costs, making the system more efficient and secure.
