Case Study

→Connecting lawyers, landlords, tenants, financiers, agents and all stakeholders to a lease, nomosOne is the world's first and only hub and workflow solution for the property industry. The intuitive software makes it easy to connect, share, collaborate and work smarter on lease files - saving significant time, money and effort for all.

Case Study Why AWS?

→Customer going global →Data sovereignty (legal app) →Minimal upfront investment / ability to scale →Easy cloning of app →Price point – AWS verses NZ IaaS

→AWS On Demand – 60% reduction →AWS Reserved Instance – 87% reduction

Case Study Business requirements

→ Q - What sort of load do you expect? ▪ Don’t know how busy it will be but could be

huge! ▪ Must be scalable though!

→ Q – What about SLA’s - HA and DR? ▪ Needs to be redundant as revenue

generating ▪ We anticipate 99.99 availability

e.g. What AWS DB Solution?RDS or traditional

→ Run existing or new applications, code, or tools that require a relational database on Oracle 11.2+

→ Want native access to Oracle but prefer to offload the infrastructure management and database administration to AWS

→ Want to exploit the Multi-AZ and Read Replica features to achieve enhanced database availability and read scalability

→ Like the flexibility of being able to scale database compute and storage resources with an API call, and only pay for the infrastructure resources they actually consume
