The Client

Ultimamedia, based in London, publishes web, event and print activities that provide intelligence, networking and buyer-seller connections to the global automotive industry.

The Problem

When Ultimamedia started to experience performance problems on their current hosting platform they contacted Hydras to discuss the options of migrating it to a higher-performing, scaleable platform that would eliminate the uptime problems they were having as well as allow future growth and expansion.

The Solution

Hydras architects worked with the Ultimamedia management to discuss the options of moving the systems to the AWS cloud, based on the requirements and budgets that were given, before deciding on a fit-for-purpose solution.

Armed with the architectural blueprint Hydras designed and built the new the system with embedded security controls.   They then worked with the Ultimamedia development team to migrate, test, correct problems and subsequently tune the systems within AWS for optimal performance along with adding system monitoring and alerting which would notify the in-house support team.

The Outcome

Ultimamedia now have a fit-for-purpose scaleable and secure cloud-based system where potential performance issues are detected, diagnosed and resolved before they cause production issues.   The result is a vastly improved uptime and no performance issues.
