A leading Fintech digital solutions provider, serving 450+ financial institutions across 36 countries, offering a wide range of banking products, framework-based solutions, and specialized software services. Their aspiration is to be the partner of choice for financial organizations seeking to enhance customer experiences.
Their client base spans multinational banks, mid-sized financial institutions, and rural banks, backed by strong domain expertise, robust execution methodologies, and a technology-driven approach.
The Challenge: As the company scaled its SaaS offerings, its existing on-premises infrastructure posed serious limitations:
Latency & Performance Issues – End-customers faced frequent delays accessing applications. Security & Compliance Gaps – Public-facing SaaS applications lacked robust security controls. Poor Uptime SLAs – Infrastructure provider failed to deliver on committed availability, resulting in churn and business loss. Costly Maintenance – Adding new servers increased AMC, procurement, and hardware costs. Scalability Challenges – Expanding capacity to support SMB and enterprise customers was slow and expensive. The company needed a cloud-based Oracle environment with high availability, low latency, and the flexibility to scale rapidly.
The Solution: Pentagon (PSSPL) designed and implemented a 2-tier architecture on AWS Cloud:
Compute Layer – Applications deployed on EC2 instances in Auto Scaling Groups for resilience and availability. Database Layer – Migrated Oracle 10g workloads to Amazon RDS (Multi-AZ) for built-in failover, redundancy, and low-latency backups. Configured Read Replica for handling read-heavy workloads. Network & Security – Hosted applications and DB in isolated VPC subnets, with strict IP/port-based access, WAF for security, and NAT/Internet Gateways for controlled connectivity. Performance Optimization – Leveraged AWS’ global regions for low-latency delivery to SaaS end-users worldwide. Backup & Monitoring – Implemented EBS snapshots, CloudWatch alerts, and S3 backups with automated retention. Cost Savings – Adopted a BYOL (Bring Your Own License) model via AWS Marketplace, reducing Oracle licensing costs. Pentagon also provided onsite/offsite support, proactive monitoring, and long-term cost optimization guidance.
