Catalyst Commodities, a provider of UK power price forecasting data, needed to develop a new web-based application for secure customer access and high performance. They approached Cloud Fundamental to help design and deliver a secure, scalable hosting platform on AWS.
Key Challenges and Requirements:
- Build development, testing, and production environments on AWS.
- Ensure secure customer access to the forecasting application.
- Implement scalable architecture capable of handling varying user demand.
Solution:
Cloud Fundamental designed an AWS infrastructure that included secure access controls, remote desktop functionality for staff, and a robust back-end database. Initially using MS SQL, the database was migrated to Aurora RDS for better performance and scalability. The architecture allowed for strict separation between development, testing, and production environments, ensuring smooth deployments and data integrity.
Results:
The AWS solution provided Catalyst Commodities with a performant and scalable platform that could adjust capacity on demand. The secure infrastructure ensured that customers could access their data securely while reducing administrative overhead and hardware management costs. The successful deployment has solidified Cloud Fundamental as a trusted partner for Catalyst Commodities.
