PTP partnered with Voyager Therapeutics, a clinical-stage gene therapy company, to improve visibility, governance, and cost efficiency in their cloud environment. Leveraging CloudCheckr’s CMx platform, PTP helped Voyager to optimize its AWS infrastructure to support research into neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s.

  • *PTP achieved a 25.4% month-over-month reduction in Voyager’s cloud spend by implementing cost optimization strategies, including Reserved Instances.

The Challenge

Voyager Therapeutics faced several challenges as it transitioned its IT infrastructure to the cloud:

•  Managing rapid growth and increasing data volumes.

•  Ensuring a secure, scalable, and compliant cloud environment to meet stringent industry regulations.

•  Lack of in-house cloud expertise to manage AWS complexities and optimize costs.

•  Balancing the need for cutting-edge technology with limited internal resources.

“We wanted to start building out in AWS in a secure, scalable, and repeatable way. We had no expertise in-house and looked to PTP to be that subject-matter expert in the life sciences space and in the AWS space to help us build a foundation that would start secure and continue to be secure.”

Head of Infrastructure, Architecture, and Information Security, Voyager Therapeutics

The Solution 

To address these challenges, PTP implemented CloudCheckr as part of its PeakPlus™ cloud managed services platform. The solution provided:

Cost Optimization
•  Identified and implemented Reserved Instances based on CloudCheckr’s recommendations.

•  Achieved single-pane visibility for cost tracking and analysis.

Security and Compliance
•  Leveraged CloudCheckr for security posture assessments and automated compliance reporting.

•  Improved governance with continuous monitoring of AWS environments.

Scalability and Efficiency
•  Enabled Voyager to scale its data analysis for adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy research.

•  Integrated CloudCheckr’s API into PTP’s portal for automated insights and simplified management.

“CloudCheckr provides valuable insights and information to customers like Voyager Therapeutics. CloudCheckr CMx finds opportunities for cost optimization and includes robust features for billing and security best practices that we can bring to our customers.”

The Outcome

Cost Reduction
Achieved a 25.4% month-over-month reduction in cloud spend.

Improved Security
Addressed five key areas of security and compliance governance.

Enhanced Visibility
Provided Voyager with actionable insights to monitor and optimize AWS resources.

Scalable Research
Enabled Voyager to focus on advancing life sciences research while ensuring regulatory compliance.

PTP and CloudCheckr empowered Voyager Therapeutics to scale its cloud operations while maintaining security and compliance. By optimizing AWS resources, reducing costs, and improving visibility, PTP enabled Voyager to focus on its mission of delivering life-changing therapies for neurodegenerative diseases.

“We can connect it to our portal and begin to automate some of the work that we’re doing, which means that for a lower cost I can deliver more value back to customers like Voyager. That’s a win for us and I think a win for the customer.”
