Overview
EBTrans, a prominent European leader in the transportation of dangerous goods, manages a high-stakes logistics network that requires absolute precision and uptime. To maintain its competitive edge and ensure the highest standards of operational safety, EBTrans transitioned its managed services to Benilar. This partnership was designed to move beyond traditional support and into a collaborative, forward-thinking relationship aimed at optimizing their AWS cloud environment.
Challenges
By migrating management to Benilar and leveraging AWS best practices, EBTrans achieved a more resilient and cost-effective ecosystem:
- Collaborative Innovation: The shift to a partner-led model allowed EBTrans to focus on core logistics while Benilar handled complex infrastructure modernization.
- Enhanced Database Reliability: Targeted optimizations resolved performance issues, ensuring that mission-critical data remains available for round-the-clock operations.
- Cost-Effective Scaling: Implementing a modernized purchase strategy (such as Savings Plans and Reserved Instances) significantly reduced overhead while maintaining high performance.
- Simplified Networking: Streamlining the network architecture improved security and reduced the administrative burden on the internal IT team.Results and Benefits
