Getting the most out of AWS with DoiT

Over the course of 2021, O’Sullivan and his team began looking for ways to simplify and consolidate INFINOX’s infrastructure. Towards the end of the year, the company was introduced to DoiT as a leading technology partner for cloud-based platforms. After a successful initial experience with another part of the platform, INFINOX engaged DoiT to streamline its main infrastructure on AWS. O’Sullivan was impressed with how even at the very earliest stages, DoiT responded to INFINOX’s specific needs.

“We deal with a lot of SaaS providers and the approach by DoiT is wholly different to the vast majority of them,” he says. “They are not constantly trying to upsell us or rush us into anything. They are very measured in their approach, and when they give us a data point, we respond to it because it’s a quality data point. They really took the time to work with us and understand exactly what we required.”

With DoiT’s help, INFINOX has redesigned its key infrastructure to run Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instances with on-demand pricing for maximum flexibility. Amazon Relational Database Services (RDS) allows INFINOX to easily scale its databases across its regions, while Amazon Web Application Firewall (WAF) protects the platform from malicious actors. DoiT also helped the company to navigate the AWS Marketplace to find third-party services to suit its specific needs. As a result, INFINOX was able to simplify its scaling and load-balancing with a version of the popular open-source software NGINX specifically designed to pair with AWS. 

For Danislav Penev, Head of Technology Production at INFINOX, DoiT’s comprehensive and easy-to-use Cloud Management Platform (CMP) and the cost-optimization product Flexsave™ were crucial to the new infrastructure. “The CMP provided such good value for us,” he says. “We can use it to look across our whole infrastructure and summarize costs, see reports, identify anomalies or underused services very quickly. ”
