Risk Management Solutions Inc. (RMS) Case Study

RMS has multiple data centers in widely distributed locations around the globe. To ensure the highest levels of availability, it was critical to find a monitoring solution that was flexible enough to support their existing systems while refining data access and analytic operations across its growing cloud-based infrastructure. Most customers were deploying the RMS software on premises for big data analytics, which required those customers to make significant infrastructure investments. To enable their large base of North American and European customers to reduce costs by running analytics on RMS infrastructure, they built data centers in London, Iceland and Toronto. Each data center was heavily populated with Cisco Unified Computing Systems (UCS) and EMC VMAX enterprise storage. RMS was also expanding its own presence into the cloud and was embracing modern software such as Docker and Apache HBase. RMS recognized that managing these advanced technologies in a hybrid IT environment would require a uniquely flexible and scalable monitoring platform.
