Secure and Scalable Windows Infrastructure Deployment for Brain Programmers on AWS

Customer Introduction

Brain Programmers is a growing software development company focused on delivering enterprise-grade applications for its global clients. To support its expanding portfolio, the company needed a robust, secure, and scalable Windows-based IT infrastructure. Their existing on-premises systems were proving inadequate to meet the increasing demands for application performance, database availability, and secure developer access.

Problem Statement

Brain Programmers faced several infrastructure challenges with their on-premises setup. Managing security patches and ensuring consistent configuration across multiple servers was labor-intensive and prone to human error. Critical applications and databases required higher availability and performance than the existing infrastructure could deliver. Furthermore, the team needed secure, remote developer access to application environments without compromising compliance or security standards. The customer sought a solution that would integrate Microsoft technologies with modern cloud capabilities, offering scalability, automation, and reliability for both development and production workloads.

Proposed Solution

A Windows-based infrastructure was deployed on AWS to address these challenges. Key Microsoft components included IIS application servers for hosting, SQL Server on Amazon RDS for managed relational database services, Active Directory for centralized authentication and access control, and RD Web for secure remote developer access. AWS services such as Amazon EC2 (Windows Server), Amazon EBS for high-performance storage, and AWS Systems Manager for automated patching and configuration management were integrated into the design. Automated patch baselines, secure networking, and scheduled maintenance windows further ensured compliance and minimized downtime. This solution delivered a scalable, secure, and high-performance environment fully optimized for application workloads.

Benefits and Outcomes

  • 99.9% application uptime with AWS-managed services and automated failover.

  • 80% reduction in manual effort through automated patching and configuration.

  • Zero critical vulnerabilities detected post-deployment with proactive monitoring.

  • Improved developer productivity with secure, seamless RD Web remote access.

  • Enhanced performance and scalability using Amazon RDS and EBS.

  • Separation of application and database server.
  • Separation of static data to AWS S3.
  • Configuration of ALB a proxy server.
  • AutoScaling to manage unpredict traffic.
  • CloudFront to serve static contents from S3.
  • AWS WAF to protect layer 7.
Lessons Learned

The deployment demonstrated the importance of leveraging automation and managed services to maintain compliance and security in Windows-based environments. Integrating Microsoft technologies with AWS provided significant gains in reliability, operational efficiency, and scalability. Strong identity and access management through Active Directory and RD Web ensured secure remote workflows. Regular vulnerability assessments and defined patching strategies proved essential for sustaining long-term security. This project reinforced that combining AWS native services with Microsoft workloads enables organizations to minimize downtime, enhance agility, and future-proof their IT infrastructure.
