CHALLENGE
As the VP of IT for TruConnect, one of Juan Aguirre’s responsibilities includes managing the company’s cloud infrastructure and AWS environments. With uncertain market conditions, rising prices, and inflation, Juan strives to improve TruConnect’s IT services while also keeping costs as lean as possible without sacrificing stability and growth potential.
To achieve these goals, TruConnect decided to completely review the company’s AWS architecture and multiple environments, the first of which was built all the way back in 2016.
TruConnect needed a partner to perform a Well-Architected Framework Review (WAFR). This top-down review performed by AWS-approved experts would help TruConnect optimize its environment, cut unnecessary costs, and improve overall performance.
And the best part? The WAFR is entirely reimbursed by Amazon, so the review would cost TruConnect nothing—and potentially save it thousands of dollars in unnecessary costs.
THE SOLUTION
nClouds’ (formerly Cloudnexa) Amazon-certified specialists leveraged AWS funding to perform a comprehensive review of TruConnect’s account, starting with its oldest environment. nClouds looked at every single layer of TruConnect’s AWS footprint and built a roadmap to optimize the environment, including recommendations for security, cost-efficiency, and workload optimizations, as well as recommendations for headless services.
The cost optimizations that nClouds suggested were certainly valuable, but Juan and his team especially appreciated the review’s focus on performance optimization, speed, and operational excellence.
nClouds helped TruConnect cut costs. But most importantly, it helped TruConnect reshape its AWS environment to be better positioned for growth and future opportunities.
