About the client

A leading MSME financial institution in India embarked on a cloud transformation journey to modernize its IT landscape using Amazon Web Services (AWS). The initiative included deploying an AWS Landing Zone, implementing a Data Lake, and migrating core lending applications to the cloud.

To ensure reliable operations after migration, the organization partnered with 1CloudHub to deliver 24×7 Managed Cloud Services, focused on monitoring, governance, security, and continuous optimization.

Existing Challenge

Following the migration of mission-critical workloads to AWS, maintaining operational excellence across the cloud environment became increasingly complex. The organization required continuous infrastructure monitoring, proactive incident management, robust backup and disaster recovery, stronger security governance, cost optimization, and ongoing platform maintenance. Limited visibility into cloud performance also made it difficult to maintain compliance and respond quickly to operational issues.
To maximize its AWS investment, the organization partnered with 1CloudHub to deliver 24×7 managed services, improving governance, security, and overall cloud efficiency.

The Solution

1CloudHub implemented a comprehensive AWS Managed Services framework focused on improving operational resilience, strengthening security, and optimizing cloud performance.

Infrastructure availability

Faster incident detection

Backup optimization saving

Resource tag compliance

Outcome

The engagement measured impact across infrastructure availability, security, cloud cost, governance, operational efficiency, and scalability.

Improved Infrastructure Availability

Centralized monitoring reduced incident detection time by 40%, while infrastructure availability improved to 99.9%, ensuring stable performance for business-critical applications.

Enhanced Security

Continuous governance improved the AWS Security Hub score to 90–100%, significantly reducing critical security findings.

Reduced Cloud Costs

Optimization initiatives—including right-sizing, scheduling, storage cleanup, and backup optimization—reduced monthly AWS costs by 25–30%, including an immediate $8,000 saving through backup optimization.

Improved Governance

Resource tag compliance increased to 95%, enabling better cost allocation, visibility, and operational accountability.

Increased Operational Efficiency

Automation reduced manual operational effort by 40–50 hours per month, allowing teams to focus on strategic initiatives instead of routine maintenance.
