The Challenge For companies that existed long before the birth of cloud computing, serious contenders in any technology vertical implemented a standard practice of deploying substantial infrastructure footprints to address growth and traffic spikes. This resulted in large-scale data center presence with overprovisioned capacity. As demand for their software products continued to grow, so did the demands on their data centers; hardware needed be upgraded and more servers deployed to scale with their business. At some point, however, this approach

The Challenge The growth of cloud services and the increased demand by development organizations has created numerous opportunities for companies to leverage new technologies and services. These offerings allow the ability to refine engineering processes and capitalize on hybrid approaches to service offerings that allow for decreased time to develop and deploy, scaling up as demand increases, and monitoring the health of the various aspects of the development pipeline. Tools like Chef and Docker are straight-forward to use and popular

The Challenge ClearScale was approached by a data security firm specializing in providing organizations of all sizes with true end-to-end protection that can be deployed in hardware, virtual, cloud and mixed form factors. In order to provide the best synergy with AWS Platform, our client’s data security products needed to be re-designed and re-engineered to complement the existing AWS services. Many of our client’s customers already use a variety of AWS services for their applications and infrastructure. Our

The Challenge ClearScale was approached by agricultural technology company that manufactured tags for livestock health monitoring to assist them in deploying a solution using IoT technologies to capture and process information from millions of individually tagged animals. The original solution the company had implemented involved numerous individual servers scattered in key locations to capture transmitted tag data. Aggregating this data was a challenge, as was actively monitoring, diagnosing, or anticipating animal health based on the information the tags were transmitting

Business Challenge Data is everything when operating a modern enterprise, and it’s typically stored in massive databases. The challenge, however, is understanding which type of database will suit the organization’s need. If a large amount of unstructured data is being persisted, relying on a relational database tends to have latency restrictions as well as the overhead of determining how to map the data into a relational schema when it has no inherent relational information to begin with. Further

Since the dawn of the Information Age, every industry — from manufacturing to telecommunications, transportation to information dissemination — has seen visible signs of transformation as new technologies are adopted to improve efficiencies; from manufacturing to telecommunications, transportation to information dissemination. This same evolution can be seen within the agricultural community. Over the last 30 years, advances in computer science and technology have revolutionized how the industry operates and individual farming families up to corporate-managed farming cooperatives have been able to capitalize

As we all know by now, unfortunate incidents happen even in our modern, cloud-enabled world. But, there’s always a silver lining: they demonstrate the benefits of a multi-cloud approach that relies on cloud-agnostic services to provide an unprecedented level of support, flexibility, and disaster-recovery to companies. The Need for a Cloud-Agnostic System ClearScale was recently approached by a client providing banking software for the financial industry that needed to create a cloud-agnostic infrastructure for their legacy application and convert

Business Challenge A major data security company specializing in end-to-end protection that can be deployed in hardware, virtual, cloud and mixed form factors approached ClearScale for help with implementing a serverless infrastructure as well as a secure and highly available external API that would translate calls, pass them to an internal API and return the results, which would be consumed by an external API. The project also required external call authorization to be implemented using API keys that would be

ClearScale, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, has a long track record of taking any customized client request and architecting an end-to-end development solution on AWS, no matter how complex the project. There are times, however, when a client comes to us not because they need a development solution, but because they already use AWS and need to find new and innovative methods to streamline their business operations and processes without impacting existing customers and while reducing the time to market

Over the years, ClearScale, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, has encountered varied and unique requests from clients wishing to utilize AWS solutions and services in order to achieve their specific set of criteria and business goals.
