NTIPL Solution:

(Apex Insurance Consultant Limited) moved their websites to Windows Instances on EC2 to prevent web server crashes, which helped the sites become more stable and handle increased traffic. We now have the ability to scale the instance vertically or horizontally based on load factors – something that was missing on the Go Daddy platform. A Cloud Watch alarm was set up to monitor system parameters and send alerts so we can stay ahead of any problems that may come up in the future. Migration to AWS allows the foundation to run the business without interruption, and we can also predict performance and make changes to the environment as needed.

The completed infrastructure sits inside an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), Amazon EC2 instances support both the infrastructure’s applications and the applications’ Microsoft SQL Server databases  (Apex Insurance Consultant Limited)also uses Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to alert customers when their results are ready to update customers via Alert Notification.

Architecture:

The new Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) with new Amazon EC2 gp3 instances provides easy-to-use, high-performance block storage for Microsoft SQL Server. Benefit from the highest block storage performance with a single storage volume using io2 Block Express (Preview) and EC2 gp3. Other SSD-backed EBS options include io2 volumes for business-critical applications and gp3 volumes for general purpose applications.
