Matrix ComSec is one of the leading manufacturers for various indigenously designed attendance machines. This application is a SaaS offering for all customers.

To send data from attendance devices to Windows applications was a big issue and customer need to always upgrade bandwidth at extra cost and effort. 

Even sending data to Windows device server was causing high latency issues.

This turned out into downtime and poor customer experience.

To maintain and manage DR cost with 5 Minutes RPO and 1 hour RTO was too costly and difficult.

Final goal was to adopt a dynamic and horizontal scale environment with cloud to optimize cost with highest performance.

Also need best stability, Security, Availability, flexibility for their future innovation in their products.

Primary Region selected as Mumbai with solutions.

Two tier architecture adopted to best suited existing workload.

2 public subnet, 2 Web/App private subnet and 2 DB private subnet created in one VPC.

Bastion-SSLVPN server, Network load balancer, NGW are in public subnet

Application and Device servers are in private subnet

MSSQL database is in db private subnet

Network Load Balancer helps to resolve the latency issuance in device to device server latency. It also resolves custom tcp port connectivity from device to device servers.

Every 5 minutes Database AMI will be created and moved to the Ohio region for DR. This will be achieved with custom Lambda.

• This was a POC project and it was extremely successful. 
• All latency related issues solved as such best cloud infrastructure with AWS and Network Load Balancer usage.
• DR was achieved with minimum effort and with most of automation. 
• DR management and maintenance cost are highly optimized.
• All AWS security best practices adopted so the solution is stable and secured.

Due to better experience customer is also moving their other solution / application / workload to AWS Cloud.
