Fischer Homes AWS assessment and improvements for Sapphire application
Challenge
Client wanted to reduce
dependency on third-party
vendor SLAs.
• Migrate to AWS tenant to run the
Sapphire application in their own
private tenant
• Slow application performance
causing long lead times to roll out.
• Challenges identifying security
risks in current AWS tenant and
architecture best practices.
• Needed an established network
topology to define gateways,
public and private subnet
configurations, and resource
provisioning rules.

Solution
Professional Services assessment to
audit current Sapphire application
and AWS environment.
• Identify performance bottlenecks.
• Implement automated detection
and remediation of security
gap issues.
• Custom-tailor new architecture to
run AWS in their own environment.
• Implement a NAT gateway to
remove Public IP exposure.
• Design and deploy a highavailability, Windows-based
server architecture hosted in same
subnet as VPC.

Results
AWS CloudWatch automates
network monitoring, maintenance,
and management.
• No longer waiting on lead times for
capacity provisioning or third-party
vendor support.
• Significant reduction in total cost
of ownership with cloud scale
CapEx model.
• NAT gateway reduced exposure
risk with multi-layered, pre-defined
security configurations.
• Remote Desktop Services on
high-availability server improved
application performance and
workload efficiency.
