Beckman Coulter
Market reach and cost control for a cloud-based informatics platform
Beckman Coulter offers pharmaceutical companies a platform with advanced visualization tools for the management, evaluation, and sharing of CyTOF® data.

The challenge
The proliferation of server instances, over-provisioning of computing power, and a lack of governance and control had made costs spiral out of control.
Since the data was critical, the performance had to be flawless, and downtime or slow response times were unacceptable. Additionally, with the number of browsers, devices, and scripts growing with each test sprint, release testing became too time consuming. High friction in setting up a deployment/testing environment was causing delays in new features deployment to production.
