Strix & DinoCloud Managed Services: an ongoing partnership to optimize costs, scalability and resilience.
Strix is a leading security-and-monitoring provider with more than 20 years in the market and 750 000+ protected customers across Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Through its two SaaS platforms—Strix Flotas, which ingests real-time telemetry and video from commercial fleets, and Strix Consumer, which safeguards individual homes and vehicles—the company processes terabytes of data every month.
As Strix scales, keeping that data cost-efficient, resilient, and secure is mission-critical, which is why they partner with DinoCloud’s Managed Services for continuous governance, proactive monitoring, and well-architected cloud guidance.
In a routine cost‑governance review, Strix discovered that its Consumer platform was incurring higher Amazon S3 storage charges than Flotas, despite storing far less data. DinoCloud was engaged to investigate and remediate the anomaly without disrupting live services.
Quick Wins That Sparked a Long‑Term Partnership
Our engineering team performed a deep dive using Amazon S3 Analytics, AWS Cost Explorer, and CloudTrail to pinpoint the most expensive operations. We uncovered two main issues:
Within weeks, we optimized lifecycle policies, right-sized backup rules, and tuned application calls—stabilizing daily S3 costs and streamlining backup management.
After implementing improvements to S3 and AWS Backup configurations, our team supported Strix with monitoring best practices and operational guidance to ensure cost savings were sustained over time.
We analyzed operations generating high costs in Amazon S3 and proposed strategies to optimize them.
We reviewed and corrected AWS Backup configurations that were performing unnecessary backups of unused buckets.
We improved backup rules and S3 operations without compromising functionality or performance.
What began as a focussed optimization project has grown into a full Managed Services engagement. DinoCloud now serves as an extension of Strix’s engineering team, providing:
