Challenges faced by Acadecraft

Acadecraft was running its e-learning content development operations on standalone servers. A single server not only posed a challenge during peak operations but also resulted in high maintenance costs.

Being a part of a highly competitive industry, it was important to stay ahead of the competition by developing solutions and reaching the market faster. They were also into online tutoring which again required higher performance and uptime. They tried increasing the computing resources, but faced huge amounts of upfront costs, skyrocketing the business expenses. Additionally, the pandemic forced them to meet and adapt to new working standards.

"The core strength of our solution lies in being able to identify opportunities faster and delivering them to our end customers even faster. But with standalone servers, we were facing performance issues. We had to go through several downtimes, that just delayed our projects and resulted in poor customer satisfaction. Also, every time we needed to add a new service or user, we had to purchase new hardware equipment which wasn't a feasible or even a sustainable solution."

"At Acadecraft, we offer a wide range of ed-tech and e-learning solutions including SMEs (Subject matter experts), instructional designers, Online tutors, ALT-text writers, copy editing, test preparation and assessment development services, etc. All these required us to work with speed and we needed high performing resources. We also needed complete visibility into tracking, reporting, and delivery of e-learning content." – continued

How did ZNetLive Managed AWS Cloud helped?

ZNetLive's expert team of Cloud architects conducted several discovery sessions with the team of Acadecraft to understand their business' unique requirements and analyse their present IT infrastructure. After sketching the structure of their basic processes and operations, ZNet's team was able to provide a customized solution to Acadecraft that consisted of fully managed AWS Cloud hosting.

Once the solution was finalized, the next big challenge was – migration. But with complete migration support from ZNetLive, everything was streamlined, and the website was moved seamlessly, without any hiccups.

The team built a cloud infrastructure scaling plan and suggested separate web and database layers to avoid any single point failure in the future. Application load balancers were placed to provide additional visibility and protection to the critical applications. The team also placed monitoring and alerts on each server to track resource consumption.

"We only had experience of working with standalone servers, so moving to a completely new cloud environment could have been a major challenge for our team. Lack of migration support was the major reason why we didn't move to the cloud earlier. But with ZNetLive, this problem was solved. They not only suggested us a customized solution but provided us end-to-end migration support as well."

"With AWS, we were able to improve performance and save on costs by reducing go-to-market time and scaling as and when required with pay-per-use model."
