Driving 80% Cloud Cost Reduction and Operational Efficiency for Electric Vehicle Manufacturer.

The Company

The company is designing, producing, selling and servicing purpose-built electric vehicles for public transportation and commercial deliveries. The in-house technologies enable a unique approach to producing vehicles using quantitative sustainability metrics to shape decisions on design and operations.

The Challenge

To run complex mathematical models and algorithms for vehicle design, significant computing resources were needed and a Kubernetes cluster was created. For each recalculation, the Kubernetes cluster called cupon reserved instances from a single public cloud provider to power their computational needs. While efficient, this approach was very costly. The company needed a solution that could maintain efficiency while reducing their cloud infrastructure expenses.

The Solution

Company decided to move their workloads into the emma multi-cloud management platform benefitting from the emma hardware-based multi-cloud networking backbone. This backbone stands out from other solutions on the market, by directly connecting with cloud service providers worldwide, enabling the company to deploy the same Kubernetes cluster, but to auto-scale and use spot instances from various cloud providers available through the platform.

Results

The transition to the emma platform brought impressive results for the electric vehicle manufacturer.
