Strategic infrastructure evolution

Global Infra Tech made a strategic decision to migrate their infrastructure to one of the main cloud providers, Google Cloud, which is aligned with their vision of maintaining and extending their leadership over blockchain services. It was a double decision: they were aligning themselves with the most reliable and scalable cloud service while simultaneously undertaking an overall infrastructure optimization. This move was crucial not only to improve the quality of their services but also to ensure that they remained at the cutting edge of technology and were prepared to meet changing client needs.

Partnering for success

Global Infra Tech chose to collaborate with Europe Cloud on this migration because of their track record of successful migrations and the shared company's value for innovation and top quality. Global Infra Tech clients depend on their services for critical blockchain activities, and Europe Cloud has assisted them in turning Global Infra Tech's strategic vision into reality by guiding them through a smooth migration to the Google Cloud without compromising on their dependability and security while also significantly optimizing the monthly cost (over 50% in per month cost optimization).

The scope of migration

The migration encompassed a significant portion of Global Infra Tech's technical operations, including:

  • 200+ Google Compute Engine VMs and three Google GKE (k8s clusters), forming the backbone of their blockchain services,
  • Substantial cost reduction with 30%,
  • Over 100,000 gigabytes per month of Balanced PD Capacity, ensuring robust data handling capabilities,
  • Their tech stack, including a JavaScript application environment, self-managed MongoDB on Google Compute Engine VMs, Kafka, and blockchain nodes essential for our operations,
  • A comprehensive suite of DevOps and monitoring tools like Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD, Terraform, Crossplane, Ansible, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Goldilocks, Kiali, and MongoDB Ops Manager, vital for Global Infra Tech's continuous integration, deployment, and operational excellence.

"Partnering with Europe Cloud and migrating to Google Cloud has been a game-changer for Global Infra Tech. Their expertise helped us overcome numerous challenges, allowing us to optimize our cloud infrastructure, ensure top-notch security, and maintain scalability. We'll confidently continue delivering exceptional, reliable cryptocurrency services to our customers, remaining competitive in this dynamic field."

Achieving a seamless transition

With careful planning and execution, the migration to Google Cloud was completed with no downtime, demonstrating the steadfast dedication to Global Infra Tech's clients, who rely on them to securely and effectively manage and transact digital assets. The result was an infrastructure that was more optimized, scalable, and extremely cost-effective—ready to handle both the growing demands of the blockchain ecosystem and Global Infra Tech's aspirational expansion ambitions.

As part of this process, the team leveraged Google Cloud's Migration Center, particularly for the built-in discovery, assessment, and TCO reporting capabilities. While utilizing these TCO reports, one of Migration Center's recommendations was the use of balanced persistent disks. And ultimately, the use of Balanced Persistent Disks has been one of the most striking examples of cost optimization that the company has managed to achieve since its strategic migration to Google Cloud.

Before the migration, their applications required Direct SSD Attached Storage in the previous cloud environment, a necessity that came with a significantly higher price tag. By transitioning to Google Cloud and utilizing their Balanced Persistent Disks, Global Infra Tech was able to maintain the demanding performance and reliability that their applications demand, but at a significantly reduced cost.

Future-ready

The strategic transition to migrate to the Google Cloud streamlined Global Infra Tech's operations and provided a platform for future innovation. Europe Cloud's professional and dedicated assistance enabled the company to grow, add new features, and provide top-notch services for the digital revolution, further enhancing their dedication to advancing this transformation.
