Meet Apex Networks

Apex Networks is a technology company offering advanced networking solutions to transportation and logistics clients since 1999. The company offers a range of services such as network design and implementation, managed services, and support to service providers such as vehicle recovery, patient transport, and windscreen replacement. By leveraging a team of highly skilled engineers and technicians to continuously develop their software, Apex Networks has become a market leader that can deliver high quality, customized solutions to meet the needs of small businesses and large enterprises that want to optimize their networking infrastructure in a digital world.

The Challenge

Apex Networks faced significant challenges in governance, observability, and security for workloads running on AWS. These challenges were compounded by a single-account architecture that housed all workloads. As the organization grew, leadership recognized that moving to a multi-account structure would be more sustainable and enable better governance and security controls. However, implementing this architecture required additional expertise and in-depth knowledge that Apex Networks lacked in-house.

The Solution

DoiT's Cloud Reliability Engineers conducted discovery sessions to identify scaling challenges and implemented a comprehensive solution. They deployed AWS Control Tower with custom guardrails, integrated AWS IAM Identity Center with existing IdP, and built reusable CloudFormation StackSets for consistent security controls. DoiT also provided training on AWS Systems Manager, performed network architecture reviews, and created Infrastructure as Code templates to automate deployments and align with DevOps best practices.

Results

  • Prioritized essential governance and security items ahead of ISO/IEC 27001 audit, reducing risk and demonstrating readiness
  • Improved security posture through implementation of IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS Security Hub
  • Achieved operational efficiencies by modernizing and standardizing deployment approaches
  • Established secure, well-governed AWS environment enabling DevOps adoption while maintaining security controls

DoiT International's expertise in DevOps practice and AWS infrastructure management played a significant role in securing and operationalizing our infrastructure at scale. Their commitment to delivering cost-effective and optimized solutions, while providing expert support were critical factors in choosing to collaborate with DoiT. With their help, we were able to implement additional automation, improve our security and governance posture, and manage our infrastructure as code in order to simplify version control, maintenance, and automation.

Chris White, CTO

Implementation and Automation

To address audit and compliance, DoiT built and deployed reusable AWS CloudFormation StackSets to manage security controls consistently across existing and new accounts. This included IAM Access Analyzer, Amazon GuardDuty, and AWS Security Hub, which together delivered a secure, well-governed AWS environment. By enabling monthly access-review reports to support ISO/IEC 27001 auditing, DoiT helped Apex Networks address essential governance and security items ahead of the upcoming audit. The final step in solving Apex Networks' scaling challenges was addressing its outdated infrastructure. The previous manual deployment methods created significant operational overhead. DoiT's CREs provided training, demonstrations, and best-practice documentation on using AWS Systems Manager to deploy and configure Apex Networks' large Amazon EC2 fleet.

Attribute™'s cost grouping technology took our cost visibility and allocation to a whole new level. Now, our teams are fully accountable for their budgets, significantly improving our cloud efficiency and helping us minimize unnecessary costs.

Eli Zilbershtein, Head of DevOps, Hippo

Island

You can't tag a customer in a multi-tenant environment. Attribute™ finally shows us what each customer costs and what's driving those costs.

Omri Cohen, Director of Engineering, Platform

Claroty

Attribute™'s data is truly unmatched. No other solution on the market could deliver the precise customer cost and usage profiles we needed in such a complex infrastructure. Within weeks, the data from Attribute™ transformed our understanding of cost structures, influencing key strategic decisions in pricing, renegotiations, and market positioning.

Jonathan Langer, COO, Claroty

Salt Security

Attribute™ simplified tracking customer costs in our multi-tenant environments. Customer cost measurement is now clear and standardized, and finance gets the business context they need. Integration was quick and required no changes.

Accrete AI

This has let us get a better idea of what our cost of goods sold really is. It's not every day you come across something that delivers value as quickly as yours did for us. I was seeing useful insights inside the POC, and we had only deployed it to a couple of real clusters.

OneFootball

PerfectScale by DoiT has become an important part of how we optimize Kubernetes at scale at OneFootball. It gives our platform team the visibility, automation, resiliency insights, and confidence we need to balance cost efficiency with production readiness, especially as we prepare for major global football moments like the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Andrea Benfatto, Platform/Cloud Runtime Engineering Manager

Raptive

Cloudflow's new RDS End of Life alerts have allowed us to be more proactive on keeping our database instances up-to-date. The new solution gives us internal visibility ahead of time so that we can prepare for upgrades, instead of having to upgrade under pressure while incurring extended support costs.

Jon Fairbanks, Site Reliability Engineering Manager

Luma Health

PerfectScale cut 40% off our total EKS spend, and the automations handle what used to take our team 20 hours a month. Now we spend that time on reliability and performance instead of chasing cost metrics.

Caio Cristo, Director of Infrastructure/SRE

Luxury Escapes

What I really like about DoiT's approach is that you're very hands-on and proactive. Satyam would ping me a few times a sprint, letting me know about the most current features, checking in on how things are going. When we are going through a peak time, that proactiveness makes a real difference. Satyam always comes through whenever we need support and helps us leverage the right experts to get us where we need to be.
