Beckman Coulter offers its customers a cloud-based informatics platform with advanced visualization tools. The platform is used by research scientists efficiently manage, evaluate, and share CyTOF® data. Since the data was critical, the performance had to be flawless, and downtime was unacceptable. The proliferation of server instances, over-provisioning of computing power, and a lack of governance and control had made costs spiral out of control. With the number of browsers, devices, and scripts growing with each test sprint, release testing became too time consuming.
Forgeahead automated deployment on AWS cloud using the best DevOps techniques achieved auto-scaling of infrastructure and ensured 99.99% of application uptime with 24x7x365 flexible monitoring for security and systems. Continuous improvement in cost control, performance, and security was achieved.
