In the world of Web3 and blockchain technology, managing cloud infrastructure costs while maintaining performance and security is a common challenge. Global Infra Tech, a company with over 15 years of experience in software development and extensive involvement in the decentralized ecosystem, faced this exact issue.
Facing the challenge of balancing escalating cloud expenses with the growing demand for reliable, scalable, and secure infrastructure, Global Infra Tech took a transformative step by partnering with Europe Cloud.
This strategic collaboration resulted in a remarkable 40% reduction in cloud infrastructure costs, alongside significant improvements in security and scalability – empowering Global Infra Tech to sustain and scale their operations more effectively.
The Challenge: Rising Cloud Costs and Complex Infrastructure
Global Infra Tech, a leading provider supporting over 30 blockchain networks and serving more than 1,000 customers, faced increasing challenges in efficiently managing their cloud infrastructure as their business experienced rapid growth. The main obstacles included:
- Managing Costs: Cloud bills were escalating as the company expanded its services.
- Security and Compliance: Given the sensitive nature of their work in the cryptocurrency space, ensuring the security of their infrastructure was critical.
- Scalability and Performance: The company needed an infrastructure capable of handling growing traffic and data volumes.
These challenges called for a solution that could optimize cloud operations without compromising the company’s ability to meet the demands of the fast-moving crypto industry.
The Solution: Migrating to Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Europe Cloud brought expertise in cloud architecture and management to help Global Infra Tech move from a costly and inefficient cloud setup to a more optimized solution. Using Stratozone, a tool for cloud optimization, Europe Cloud supported the migration of Global Infra Tech’s entire infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP), taking advantage of several key services, including Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Networking.
These services provided the necessary scalability to handle future growth while also improving performance and reducing costs. The migration was executed with a focus on meeting security and compliance standards, ensuring that Global Infra Tech’s services remained secure and aligned with industry regulations.
“Our migration methodology consists of four phases. The idea is first to understand where our journey is starting from by gathering information about our current infrastructure, resources, knowledge, and the cost of using cloud services compared to what we are currently using. Then, using this information, we create a plan whose primary function is to prioritize the applications we will migrate, the efforts we will invest, and the training that will be needed for the client’s team to effectively utilize cloud services. Next, we move on to the migration phase, which involves sprints that are iterated, followed by optimization that fully enables the utilization of all the advantages of Google Cloud,” explained Aleksandar Aleksiev, CTO at Europe Cloud.
“Partnering with Europe Cloud and migrating to GCP has been a game-changer for Global Infra Tech. Their expertise helped us overcome numerous challenges, allowing us to optimize our cloud infrastructure, ensure top-notch security, & maintain scalability. We’ll confidently continue delivering exceptional, reliable cryptocurrency services to our customers, remaining competitive in this dynamic field”, commented Kristiyan Lozanov, Chief Operating Officer at Global Infra Tech
The Result: Significant Cloud Costs Reduction and Improved Efficiency
The collaboration between Europe Cloud and Global Infra Tech delivered strong results. By migrating to GCP and optimizing cloud usage, Global Infra Tech reduced its cloud infrastructure costs by 40%. This was accomplished without sacrificing the performance or security of their services.
The migration also enabled the company to scale more easily as its business continued to grow. With a more efficient cloud infrastructure in place, Global Infra Tech could better manage its resources, improve service reliability, and continue delivering high-quality solutions to its customers.
Looking Forward: A Stronger Cloud Infrastructure for Future Growth
Global Infra Tech’s decision to partner with Europe Cloud has proven to be a game-changer. The company now has a more cost-effective, secure, and scalable cloud infrastructure, positioning it for continued success in the competitive and rapidly evolving blockchain and cryptocurrency industries.
By optimizing its cloud environment, Global Infra Tech can stay focused on its core business while Europe Cloud ensures its infrastructure remains efficient and secure. This case study published even by Google Cloud demonstrates how businesses can reduce cloud costs and improve their operations with the right approach to cloud management.
