GPK faced many issues concerning their Enterprise server availability, IAM, secure server access, scalability, and HA. Users faced significant downtime if the server was down or they experienced any other server-related issues. This created a significant challenge as all of their apps and data assets were on a single server and were open over the internet, creating vulnerability to various cyber-attacks.
From the storage perspective, it was too restricted as data was not easily scalable or accessible. In addition, their data assets were stored in a way that created a single point of failure. To create stability and reliability while being secure, they wanted to implement distributed data model with redundancies so data could be distributed across their Enterprise server environment.
