Our company has about 100 employees. We build information systems for school cafeterias, holding approximately 50% market share. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
Reason for Moving to the Cloud<\/h3>\n\n
The school system is specific in that there are changes in performance requirements throughout the year, especially during the summer holidays. Therefore, the main reasons that determined the move to the cloud were the availability of hardware and, most importantly, the ability to scale the power consumed. As already mentioned, the requirements are not constant throughout the year. The company management approached several providers. The winner of the tender was Geetoo. <\/p>\n

\n <\/picture>\n\n We chose Geetoo because the technical aspects of their service, the price, and their friendly approach suited us.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n
Migration to the cloud was carried out in phases. The original systems remained operational while new resources were gradually added to the cloud. After successfully testing the system, all operations were transferred to the cloud environment. <\/p>\n\n
Benefits of the cloud<\/h3>\n\n
Transitioning to cloud infrastructure brought several key advantages:<\/p>\n\n
- \n
- Hardware Independence<\/strong>: No need to deal with procuring and maintaining physical hardware.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- High Service Availability<\/strong>: Any outages are automatically eliminated within minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Scalability<\/strong>: Ability to reduce performance during holidays by up to 80% and ramp it back up during the school year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Backup<\/strong>: you can create a snapshot before updating the operating system, which improves security and stability.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Quick Deployment<\/strong>: A new virtual server can be deployed in no time by copying an existing VM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\n\n\n\nReliability and Savings<\/h3>\n\n
VIS Plze\u0148 is satisfied with our services. Technical support is always ready, but no problems have had to be solved. A great advantage is the PAYG (pay-as-you-go) payment model, which allows you to pay only for the actual environment consumed. VIS Pilsen saves approximately 10% per year<\/strong> due to reduced consumption during the summer holidays. <\/p>\n
\n\n\n\nWe save ten percent a year by being able to reduce our resource requirements over the two holiday months.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n

The STRAVA.cz<\/a> system, used by over 600,000 users, operates reliably thanks to the cloud.
Technical Aspect<\/h3>\n\n
The technical solution of VIS Plze\u0148 includes two application servers and several Docker servers running individual MS SQL servers. In the future, a transition to Kubernetes is being considered, which would simplify the administration of part of the system. <\/p>\n\n
Conclusion<\/h4>\n\n
VIS Plze\u0148 has successfully migrated to the cloud thanks to its cooperation with Geetoo and now benefits from many advantages, including scalability, independence from physical hardware and an efficient payment model. This collaboration brings certainty to thousands of school canteens and their boarders. Do you also want an efficient cloud solution<\/a> for your business? <\/p>\n
