One of the country’s leading logistics service providers with pan-India operations needed a strong data availability solution for their cloud system to enhance digital security and customer engagement. They approached us with a critical and time-sensitive issue in their data operations and cloud computing system to ensure robust security and customer engagement.

About the client

Our client is one of India’s leading logistics firms in India that provides freight service, in-plant logistics, and global freight management services pan India. As a technology-driven organization, the need for efficient and uninterrupted IT operations was a key requirement for them.

With over 2,000 diverse customers at around 10,000 destinations pan India and 200 offices, including 20 transshipment hubs, their client base ranges from metal, chemicals, petroleum, gas to FMCG and automotive businesses.

Before the era of multicore processors, the world's major software were either licensed on a per server or per physical processor or socket basis. Oracle®, as per my understanding, was the first major software vendor to come out with Core based licensing which was followed by others including Microsoft®. Currently most database software, which are the most expensive licenses used by enterprises across the globe, are on core-based licenses. Essentially to derive more performance of your databases and to make your applications run faster you need to add more processor cores to the databases.

The Challenge

Our client approached us on the day of Holi when operations are at their peak and they were suffering through a great crisis of compromised data security. When the client approached us, they had just suffered a serious security breach on their cloud system, resulted in an immediate halt in business operations and transactions briefly coming to a standstill. This could’ve been detrimental, not only in terms of revenue but also in terms of the company’s reputation among its clients.

With business halted for hours, our client was in a tough position. This problem needed to be solved as quickly as possible with the right tools to tackle such a situation on short notice.?

They wanted to address this issue by identifying the core factors causing data leaks and reconfiguring their cloud system to match the latest industry standards.
