The client faced escalating challenges due to the intricate nature of their microservices platform, requiring a solution to address load-balancing issues and bolster security measures. With the need to enhance scalability and resilience while ensuring secure traffic distribution and API protection, the client sought a comprehensive approach to optimise their microservices architecture effectively.

Our team successfully tackled the escalating complexity of our client's microservices platform by implementing a robust solution that leveraged the power of F5 Big-IP, NGINX, and F5 APM Access Policy Manager. By integrating an API gateway alongside F5 technologies, we orchestrated seamless traffic distribution and fortified API security, empowering the client's microservices architecture with enhanced scalability and resilience.

Our client that mines precious metals faced significant hurdles with their on-premises backup solution, Commvault, spanning configuration management, backup job oversight, and restoration timeframes. These challenges presented obstacles that hindered their disaster recovery capabilities and posed limitations on the scalability initiatives vital for accommodating the company's evolving needs and growth trajectory. The complexities in managing configurations, monitoring backup jobs effectively, and reducing restoration times underscored the pressing need for a comprehensive overhaul of their backup infrastructure to ensure robust disaster recovery mechanisms and streamlined scalability pathways.

Our proposal entailed migrating our client's backup infrastructure to a Commvault setup hosted on AWS. By leveraging the multi-availability zone feature within AWS, we aimed to enhance the redundancy and scalability of their backup system. This migration to AWS offered improved fault tolerance through redundant data storage across different zones and provided the flexibility to scale resources dynamically based on workload demands. The utilisation of AWS infrastructure allowed for enhanced data protection, increased system reliability, and the ability to seamlessly expand storage capacity as needed, ensuring a robust disaster recovery framework and accommodating future growth requirements effectively.

A leading credit union in California faced significant challenges in detecting and managing network and infrastructure issues across its complex environment. With approximately 40 branch locations, 3 data centers, 300 servers, and 1,000 users serving more than 400,000 individual and business members, ensuring seamless operations required a more advanced and proactive approach. Without a centralized monitoring system, the organization lacked real-time visibility into its network and infrastructure, making it difficult to identify and resolve issues before they impacted operations.

To address these challenges, the credit union implemented a centralized Network Operations Center (NOC) powered by SolarWinds. This solution provided advanced monitoring and reporting tools aligned with industry best practices, significantly improving visibility into network and infrastructure operations. By leveraging SolarWinds' comprehensive monitoring capabilities, the organization gained the ability to track performance metrics, detect anomalies, and proactively address potential threats before they escalated into major disruptions.
