Atria
Modernised infrastructure, outsourced database management and a migration to AWS.
The Client
Atria is part of the Agena Group, a UK-based business delivering car parking and software solutions.
Formed in 2019, Atria supports not only its own operations but also those of Premier Park, Park Watch and UK Car Park Management. With 230 employees and a mission to modernise the parking industry, Atria combines deep sector experience with a commitment to cloud-native innovation.
Our current and future development ethos is to be cloud-native from the ground up, and with the ongoing support of the Node4 team, I’m confident that we’re building a technology stack that will pit the business and its customers in an ideal place to continue innovating in the years to come.
The Challenge
Atria’s original infrastructure was built and maintained by its founder. Following acquisition and the appointment of a new CTO, the business needed to modernise its legacy data centre and hardware strategy. The goal was to create a more agile, reliable and scalable IT environment that could support growth and deliver better outcomes for both internal teams and customers.
“Historically, our technology stack was built and supported by Atria’s original founder, but following its acquisition and my arrival as CTO, we focused on modernising both our infrastructure and operational IT processes. This is an important part of our growth strategy and our objective is to deliver a range of benefits for our teams and customers alike.”
— Stuart Maclaren, Group CTO, Atria
The Solution
We began by delivering a managed service to take over Atria’s database administration. Our 24/7 monitoring and alerting helped resolve legacy database issues and improve performance and reliability. From there, our partnership expanded. Atria chose to migrate key services into AWS as part of a hybrid infrastructure strategy, with us providing tailored support across mission-critical and lower-tier systems.
“Our leadership team has a strong corporate enterprise background, and we wanted to bring that mindset to Atria and the wider group across our technology strategy.”

Atria now operates with a modernised infrastructure and a clear path to cloud-native development.

Our Linux team has also helped Atria evolve its Linux-based technologies, contributing to a broader transformation across the group.
“This forms part of an overall package where, from account management to support, they have become an important technology partner across Atria and the wider group.”
