Pronestor

About Pronestor

Pronestor is one of the world’s leading developers and providers of meeting management software. Pronestor’s customers are present globally and therefore need a robust IT infrastructure that supports a global set-up.

The Challenge

Pronestor wanted to focus on the development of their core applications and therefore needed specialist assistance in relation to the optimization of their AWS infrastructure.

Pronestor requested a backup infrastructure that could be used in their global AWS setup. The goal was to be able to mitigate potential outcomes on parts of the AWS infrastructure used, without this causing a lack of access to services for Pronestor’s customers.

Pronestor also wanted better monitoring of their existing MS SQL databases.

Our Solution

Cloud2 (formerly known as KeyCore) designed a new strategy for backup and disaster recovery. The strategy is based on a combination of volume snapshots for disaster recovery through AWS Backup and MS SQL Maintenance jobs for backup and re-establishment of databases.

Database backups are synchronized to S3 to support recovery even if an Availability Zone is down and to reduce storage costs.

Cloud2 introduced AWS native logging with customized measurement points (metrics) and Systems Manager to ensure uniform monitoring and performance measurement across the infrastructure.

Cloud2 set up a GitHub repository for Pronestor to manage configuration and documentation.

Results

Pronestor’s backup and disaster recovery solutions have been revised and improved. Pronestor uses AWS solutions to a greater extent to minimize costs in connection with backup compared to before.
