Storage Platform Implementation

Context

The client, a large international banking group, initiated the modernization of its storage infrastructure to address performance, scalability, and governance challenges. As part of this initiative, the client launched the implementation of an object storage solution based on Scality technology, with the objective of providing an S3 service accessible via API to the group’s various entities. To support this strategic initiative, the client relies on Avaliance to design, deploy, and operate an object storage platform aligned with group standards.

Challenges

The client needed a scalable, secure, and highly available object storage platform capable of integrating seamlessly with internal applications.

The challenges also included structuring a storage offering delivered as a service, industrialized, compliant with internal standards, and easily usable by consuming teams, while ensuring a high level of automation and reliability.
