How OpsRamp used Google Cloud to Integrate & Deploy their Pods with Minimal Operational Overheads

Author: Harish Salian - Director, Cloud Engineering, Searce


OpsRamp is an IT operations management platform built to discover, monitor, manage, and automate the world's most complex hybrid IT environments.

Challenges
  • Improve Scalability: The optimization activities through their application could take up to 12 hours leading to most Devops activities to be outsourced
  • Setup Failover and DR: Opsramp have primary & secondary pods deployed across regions / data centers and cloud providers
Key Deal Levers
  • Solution evaluated through a successful pilot deployment with Searce
  • Tailored training sessions on GCP building blocks, data solutions and security by Searce and Google teams
  • Continuous support from Searce for deployment ramp
Searce Solution and Business Impact

During pilot & ongoing deployment activities Searce is helping in:

  • Increased scalability with reduced operational overhead: By leveraging Terraform IaC, OpsRamp can continuously integrate & deploy their pods with minimal operational overhead. enabling their adoption of GCP and moving away from other public clouds
  • ~20% Cost Reduction: Searce enabled cost optimization through scheduling, right-sizing and suggesting appropriate GCP resources for compute & storage based on requirements.
  • Seamless Transition: By following best practices for naming conventions, networking and IAM, resource hierarchy, live migration etc. - Searce is enabling OpsRamp to function with no downtime on GCP.. They will be able to move future client workloads with the same conventions and easily expand the infrastructure.
