About the Customer
REE (Nasdaq: REE) is an automotive technology leader whose mission is to empower companies to build any size or shape of electric or autonomous vehicle – from Class 1 through Class 6 – for any application and any target market. REE aims to serve as the underpinning on top of which EVs and AVs will be built and envisions a future where EVs and AVs will be ‘Powered by REE’. REE’s revolutionary technology – the REEcorner™ – packs critical vehicle components (steering, braking, suspension, powertrain and control) into a single compact module positioned between the chassis and the wheel, enabling REE to build the industry’s flattest EV platforms with more room for passengers, cargo and batteries. REE uses x-by-wire technology to control each of the corners of the vehicles with full drive-by-wire, brake-by-wire and steer-by-wire. REE’s EV platforms afford complete freedom of design, enabling auto-manufacturers, OEMs, delivery & logistic fleets, Mobility-as-a-Service providers and new mobility players to design mission-specific EVs and AVs based on their exact business requirements and significantly reduce their time-to-market, lower TCO and meet zero-carbon regulations. Headquartered in Israel, REE has an Engineering Center in the UK, as well as subsidiaries worldwide including Japan and Germany, and plans to open its U.S. headquarters and first Integration Center in Austin, Texas. REE’s unique CapEx-light manufacturing model leverages Tier-1 partners’ existing production lines; the company’s extensive partner ecosystem encompasses leading names including Hino Motors (truck arm of Toyota), Magna International, JB Poindexter, Navya and American Axle & Manufacturing to provide a full turnkey solution.
Customer Challenge
REE faced a highly complex and expansive IT environment that included unnecessary resources and misconfigurations. This complexity hindered their operational efficiency and scalability. Additionally, the lack of professional DevOps support exacerbated these issues, impacting their ability to innovate and deploy solutions effectively in their global operations.
Partner Solution
To address these challenges, we implemented a comprehensive AWS Landing Zone with the Landing Zone Accelerator, streamlining REE’s infrastructure into a less complex, cost-effective environment aligned with best practices. We migrated their workload to optimize resource utilization and implemented AWS Transit Gateway, site-to-site VPN, and client VPN to enhance network connectivity and security. The deployment also included EC2 instances and FSx shares to support their computing and storage needs, respectively. Furthermore, we utilized AWS Backup for robust data protection and deployed Amazon WorkSpaces to provide secure, scalable virtual desktop experiences.
Results and Benefit
The implementation of these solutions transformed REE’s IT infrastructure, resulting in significant improvements in efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The streamlined environment reduced overhead and eliminated misconfigurations, allowing REE to focus more on core business functions and innovation. Enhanced connectivity and security measures ensured stable and secure operations across their global sites, while the robust backup solutions safeguarded critical data against potential threats. The adoption of Amazon WorkSpaces also enabled a flexible work environment, facilitating collaboration and productivity among their teams. Overall, these changes not only addressed the initial challenges but also positioned REE for accelerated growth and continued leadership in the electric and autonomous vehicle industry.
