Project Summary

Profinit developed a centralized log management system for a large Czech bank to meet banking regulations. The engagement included three months of requirements analysis, a two-month VMware POC, purchase and deployment of physical hardware, integration of 90 source systems, and migration of legacy logs. The vendor delivered two Cloudera Hadoop solutions in HA across 48 physical servers; deliverables met requirements and budget and the client praised the analysis and implementation.

Key Challenges

Comply with banking regulations by building a unified repository for various audit logs
Unify logs from internal/external applications, infrastructure, and network into a single structure
Ensure storage of the original message, message hash, immutability, and protection against readability

Project Deliverables

Proof of concept (VMware test environment)
Purchase and deployment of physical hardware (48 physical servers)
Integration with 90 source systems and testing (data loss, recovery, tape backup, AVAST penetration tests)
Migration of legacy logs from original RDBMS solution
Commissioning and six-month prophylaxis/maintenance

Project Solution

Profinit ran a competitive six-month tender and then conducted three months of requirements and data analysis with architects, followed by a two-month POC in a VMware test environment. They procured and deployed physical hardware, integrated 90 source systems with extensive testing (data loss/recovery, secondary tape backup and recovery, AVAST penetration tests), migrated older logs from the original RDBMS, commissioned the system, and provided follow-up prophylaxis after six months of operation. The vendor team included developers, architects, and an external Oracle architect consultant.

Project Outcome

Delivery met the client's requirements and budget
Two separate Cloudera Hadoop solutions deployed in HA mode
48 physical servers deployed
Client reported that analysis and implementation were conducted properly and in a friendly spirit
