Striim for secure cloud migration?

The client, a global banking and financial services provider, sought to streamline their operations by transitioning to full-fledged internet banking for their extensive customer base worldwide. But behind the scenes, your data storage is becoming a burden. Your on-premise database is struggling to keep pace with the ever-increasing data volume, and managing it is a constant drain on resources. This was the exact challenge faced by our client, a leading provider of international banking and financial services.

Their on-premise database had become a bottleneck. It was:

null

Costly to maintain

The sheer volume of data was making the existing database expensive to manage.
null

Difficult to handle

Scaling and maintaining the database infrastructure was becoming a significant operational challenge.
null

Security Concerns

Direct access to the database for data retrieval raised security ulnerabilities.

Our client needed a solution that could address these challenges. They were looking for a way to:

null

Migrate their data to the cloud

This would provide them with a scalable and cost-effective storage solution.
null

Minimize database management overhead

They wanted a solution that would reduce the burden of managing their database
infrastructure. significant operational challenge.

Indium's tailored solution: Secure, scalable data management with Striim

We at Indium understood our client’s need for a secure, cost-effective, and scalable data management solution. To address their challenges, we leveraged the power of Striim, a real-time data integration platform. Here’s how Striim helped us deliver a winning solution:

  • Seamless data migration: Following best practices, we performed an initial bulk data load from the on-premise Oracle database to the target PostgreSQL database on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This established the foundation for future data replication.
  • Real-time data replication: Striim’s Change Data Capture (CDC) functionality became a game-changer. It constantly monitored the source database for any modifications and replicated those changes to the GCP database in real-time. This ensured that the cloud database always had the most up-to-date information, without the need for cumbersome batch transfers.
  • Secure third-party data access: Direct access to the cloud database was a security concern. Striim Agent came to the rescue. It acted as a secure intermediary, allowing authorized third-party applications to access the data they needed without compromising the integrity of the main database
  • Enhanced data monitoring: Striim provided us with a diverse set of data monitoring metrics. These metrics, along with live dashboards, gave our client complete visibility into the health and performance of their data pipeline. They could now easily identify and address any potential issues proactively.

By leveraging Striim’s robust capabilities, we were able to deliver a solution that perfectly addressed our client’s challenges. Let’s see how this translated into tangible business benefits!

Striim delivers measurable results: A win-win for security, efficiency, and cost
