Chrysos Corporation reliably and securely connects its global operations using AWS.

How we helped

Having prior familiarity with Rackspace Technology, Graves recognised not only its ability to deploy solutions efficiently, but also its capacity to transfer knowledge effectively.

"Chrysos explored the option of hiring an experienced cloud engineer, but soon realised that it would be quite costly and challenging," Graves said. "That's when we had the idea of partnering with Rackspace to leverage our existing team and cultivate a skilled cloud engineer in-house. This approach would not only provide career growth opportunities for one of our team members, but also enable them to learn directly from industry experts throughout the course of this important project."

Rackspace offered a comprehensive solution that aligned with Chrysos' goals:

• Infrastructure as code via Terraform: To help keep pace with their rapid growth, Rackspace provided Chrysos with a process to quickly spin up new regions in a consistent manner, while also ensuring that all the guardrails and networking are reliable.
• Global scalability: Rackspace designed a multi-region architecture that enabled Chrysos to expand seamlessly into new markets while maintaining consistency and appropriate governance.
• Business continuity and security: Rackspace implemented disaster recovery solutions; reducing single points of failure and enhancing data protection. Security measures were enabled to help safeguard against disruptions and potential data breaches.
• Innovation and expertise: The focus by Rackspace on knowledge sharing and collaboration empowered the Chrysos team to manage its technology independently after the engagement.
• Cost optimisation: With guidance from Rackspace, Chrysos gained a clearer understanding of its own IT costs; allowing it to allocate resources more in tune with its global expansion plans.
