The Challenge
Our client faced several challenges that necessitated seeking external solutions:
- The need for a robust and secure cloud environment.
- Ensuring data security and minimizing downtime.
- High operational costs associated with maintaining on-premises infrastructure.
- Difficulty in managing multiple environments efficiently.
Therefore, our client aimed to transition all their services from on-premises infrastructure to the cloud. Their key requirements included:
- Clear separation of test, development, staging, and production environments.
- Ensuring data security and compliance across all environments.
Safe and secure access to applications and web services.
- Minimizing monthly infrastructure costs.
- Reducing downtime and protecting sensitive information from data breaches.
- Stable and efficient operation of the infrastructure.
CMC Global Approach
- Requirement Analysis: Upon receiving a new environment build request, the project team collaborated with Technical Assistance Management (TAM) from the client’s company to clarify the modules and services needed.
- Architecture Design: Engineers designed the infrastructure architecture based on the clarified requirements.
- Security Review: The proposed architecture was reviewed by the client’s security team to ensure compliance with security standards.
- Implementation: Once the security review was passed, engineers proceeded to build the new environment, integrating necessary tools and services according to the client’s cost constraints.
The Outcome
- Environment Segregation: Achieved a clear segregation of environments, enhancing operational efficiency and security.
- Data Security: Implemented robust security measures, resulting in a 50% reduction in data breach incidents and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
- Infrastructure Optimization: Optimized the client’s infrastructure, improving system performance by 40%.
- Cost Reduction: Reduced operational costs by 30%, saving Samsung SDS approximately $1.5 million annually.
- Operational Efficiency: The secure and efficient cloud infrastructure reduced downtime by 70%, significantly enhancing system availability and reliability.
- Security and Stability: Enhanced security protocols ensured the client’s systems were protected against vulnerabilities, leading to a 60% decrease in security-related incidents and contributing to a stable and reliable infrastructure.
- The project also ensured a 99.9% uptime, meeting the client’s high expectations for system availability
