About the Customer

Arhiant Capitals is a distinguished financial services company providing a wide range of innovative solutions to clients across the financial sector. As the demand for secure and scalable digital financial services grew, Arhiant Capitals recognized the need to modernize its legacy IT infrastructure to meet the evolving needs of its customers.

Customer Challenge

Arhiant Capitals’ on-premises IT infrastructure was becoming increasingly difficult to scale and manage. The system struggled with fluctuating workloads, making it difficult to maintain high availability for its mission-critical financial applications. Additionally, the company faced challenges related to operational inefficiencies, security concerns, and limited flexibility in handling large volumes of financial data and transactions.

Without addressing these challenges, Arhiant Capitals risked potential service outages, decreased performance, and higher operational costs. The financial services industry demands both real-time data access and reliability, and an inefficient infrastructure could compromise the company’s ability to meet these expectations. To maintain its competitive edge, Arhiant Capitals needed a scalable, secure, and cost-effective solution to ensure seamless delivery of its financial services.

Why AWS

Arhiant Capitals chose AWS due to its comprehensive suite of cloud services designed to meet the scalability, security, and performance demands of financial institutions. AWS provided the flexibility required for handling variable workloads, along with tools like CloudWatch for real-time monitoring, and services like RDS PostgreSQL and ALB to ensure database efficiency and application load management. AWS’s global presence and reliable infrastructure made it the ideal choice for managing both the company’s internal operations and customer-facing applications.
