Large International Organization Enhances Security and Scalability with AWS Cloud

Datamatics

Technology Category	Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Database Management & Storage Application Infrastructure & Middleware - Event-Driven Application
Applicable Industries	Agriculture Automotive
Use Cases	Tamper Detection
Services	Cloud Planning, Design & Implementation Services
Challenge	The client, a large international organization leading efforts to defeat hunger, had undertaken a pilot project of application FAM catalog solution which they wanted to host on the cloud. They desired an automated deployment using AWS Cloud Formation services, so that similar implementation can be repeatable across the globe in different countries. The client needed the application to be stateless and all static configuration of web/app and actual data needed to be on shared storage. This was to ensure that any termination of server would not impact configuration and to avoid the risk of losing data. Read More
About Customer	The client is a large international organization that leads global efforts to defeat hunger. This non-profit organization is a source of knowledge and information, and assists developing countries in transition to modernize and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries practices. Their goal is to ensure good nutrition and food security for all. They had undertaken a pilot project of application FAM catalog solution which they wanted to host on the cloud, with the aim of having an automated, repeatable implementation across different countries. Read More
Solution	The Datamatics team conducted an exploratory analysis to study the FAM Catalogue application requirements. They implemented AWS Services for IAAS with optional components such as Application load balancer, Ec2, EFS for storage for application configuration and storing files, Cloud Watch for provisioned resources monitoring, KMS for disk encryption and parameter store for storing credentials of RDS Arora Database for connection. The team also configured the web app and database in the private subnet to allow seamless communication internally. They implemented end-to-end security by adhering to the best practices of AWS Infrastructure Setup under the compliance of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Challenge

The client, a large international organization leading efforts to defeat hunger, had undertaken a pilot project of application FAM catalog solution which they wanted to host on the cloud. They desired an automated deployment using AWS Cloud Formation services, so that similar implementation can be repeatable across the globe in different countries. The client needed the application to be stateless and all static configuration of web/app and actual data needed to be on shared storage. This was to ensure that any termination of server would not impact configuration and to avoid the risk of losing data.

About Customer

The client is a large international organization that leads global efforts to defeat hunger. This non-profit organization is a source of knowledge and information, and assists developing countries in transition to modernize and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries practices.

Solution

The Datamatics team conducted an exploratory analysis to study the FAM Catalogue application requirements. They implemented AWS Services for IAAS with optional components such as Application load balancer, Ec2, EFS for storage for application configuration and storing files, Cloud Watch for provisioned resources monitoring, KMS for disk encryption and parameter store for storing credentials of RDS Arora Database for connection.

Impact #1	The solution provided by Datamatics had a significant impact on the client's operations. The release process was eased using DevOps capabilities and auto healing enabled availability of application to meet 99.99% SLA. The solution facilitated auto scaling on servers to meet the growing demands of end users connection, and servers scaling down during non-production hours support substantial cost saving. The implementation of AWS Services for IAAS with optional components and the configuration of the web app and database in the private subnet allowed for seamless internal communication. The end-to-end security implemented adhered to the best practices of AWS Infrastructure Setup under the compliance of NIST.
