"These Costs Are Unbearable" How We Cut Infrastructure Management Expenses 3x for Kauz.ai
One of our clients turned to us with a straightforward concern: "Our infrastructure costs are unbearable and it is out of control." Kauz.ai is a leading chatbot technology provider in Germany. They specialize in creating intelligent chatbot solutions that enhance customer engagement for businesses worldwide. They needed a practical solution to reduce these costs without compromising on service quality and to regain control.
Challenge
Kauz.ai was juggling four different cloud environments, which was not only costly but also complex to manage. They were spinning their wheels, using more resources than necessary, and struggling to maintain a consistent and scalable infrastructure. Das Meta's dedicated team of cloud architects, security specialists, and DevOps engineers collaborated closely with Kauz.ai to design and implement a streamlined, scalable solution tailored to their needs.
What We Did
We started by analyzing their existing setups to identify inefficiencies. We found that not all cloud environments were right for their specific workloads. So, we decided to consolidate their operations into two main setups: Azure for their cloud needs and an on-premise solution for tasks that required more direct control.
What We Did
Performance Tuning:
We started by analyzing their existing setups to identify inefficiencies. We found that not all cloud environments were right for their specific workloads. So, we decided to consolidate their operations into two main setups: Azure for their cloud needs and an on-premise solution for tasks that required more direct control.
Choosing the Right Tools:
We implemented ITIL processes, which are basically best practices for IT service management, to help them manage their infra better. This gave us a structured approach to make their operations smooth and predictable.
Monitoring Setup:
We also introduced them to Grafana, a tool for monitoring their systems in real-time. This way, they could immediately see if something was off and fix it before it became a bigger problem.
Results
By simplifying their cloud environments, we were able to shift human resources from routine maintenance to more critical development tasks, further enhancing their product capabilities and innovation.
The consolidation and optimized use of cloud environments not only reduced expenses but also improved overall system management and efficiency.
By consolidating their cloud environments, we reduced their infrastructure costs by 30% and improved scalability and performance. Our transparent, fixed-price subscription model ensured Kauz.ai could predict and manage their cloud expenses effectively, eliminating unexpected costs and providing financial clarity.
