The Challenge<\/h2>\n

Aquatech wished to revamp a legacy Point-of-Sale (POS) system to store and manage orders, inventories and customer information from their shops across local territories. Their legacy POS was already at EOL (end-of-life) of the existing server\u2019s maintenance. However, as their business mainly focuses on product quality and customer services, there was a lack of IT expertise in building a scalable, cost-optimized, secured and high resilience system, and they did not have sufficient IT resources to provide on-going system maintenance for backups, patching and performance analysis. AWS was selected for building the backend infrastructure for their new POS system in order to save cost and provide more flexibility.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Our managed services offer a service service helpdesk portal to each customer. Customers can reach out to our managed services team for any issues in their cloud environment. A dedicated team will continuously monitor the incoming tickets and assist our customers timely with their requests.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Performance Tuning and Preventative Maintenance<\/h3>\n
\n

Performance tuning and preventative maintenance provided by Nextlink\u2019s Managed Service is important to Aquatech as they are extending their footprint on the cloud. AWS services are constantly monitored, measured and analyzed to optimize cost and maximize efficiency and performance. Nextlink also identifies issues and investigates them in order to resolve them timely for the customer.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Monitoring and Control<\/h3>\n
\n

Monitoring and control is one of the key scopes of Nextlink\u2019s managed services. We reviewed all existing workloads in the client\u2019s AWS environment, and pre-set AWS CloudWatch metric alarm thresholds based on best practices, and then sent them to the client for confirmation. Such thresholds were left to run for one month, and a review session was held with the customer to refine and adjust the thresholds.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

\n

Implementing Strong Cloud Security<\/h3>\n
\n

Security is the job zero at AWS as well as at Nextlink. AWS resource logs are continuously monitored using automated tooling to analyze and triage security events. Nextlink also provides defense support against cyber-attacks and any unplanned and unexpected issues on the cloud.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
