Softline helped Zemtek mining holding build fault-tolerant infrastructure

2023: Move IT Infrastructure to the Cloud

Softline Group of Companies (PJSC Softline) has implemented a comprehensive project for Zemtek. The engineers of Softline Group of Companies, together with the team of the Zemtek IT department, moved the infrastructure and key services to Softline Multioblaco. Migration to the cloud platform as part of the IaaS model allowed the customer to improve the performance and scalability of the infrastructure, as well as its fault tolerance by replicating data from one site to another. Softline announced this on December 28, 2023.

The Zemtek mining holding provides the entire production cycle - from industrial construction, drilling and blasting and mining to the creation of a complete infrastructure for the life of deposits, including in hard-to-reach areas of Siberia and the Far East. The group's enterprises employ 4 thousand employees, its own fleet of modern special equipment and vehicles of leading brands exceeds 500 units. Over the past 5 years, the volume of investments in development amounted to 20 billion rubles.

Zemtek units operate in different, the cities of Russia number of employees increases annually. In this regard, the company is interested in an easily scalable infrastructure in. cloud Initially, the digital infrastructure of the office was deployed in its own cloud at servers Zemtek. To optimize the load, it was decided to transfer services and systems of regional divisions to the Softline Group cloud on the basis. Novosibirsk DPC

Zemtek has already worked with the provider's team in other areas, during which time the company managed to make sure of the high expertise of Softline Group of Companies specialists. In addition, the Softline Multi-Cloud platform met the client's high performance requirements and SLA (Service Level Agreement). Softline Group of Companies has many years of experience in implementing projects related to the creation of public, private and hybrid clouds based on Softline data centers, as well as platforms of other vendors. Having studied the tasks and needs of the company, Softline Group of companies experts offered Zemtek the IaaS service (Infrastructure as a Service).

We helped to move remote desktops, security services and infrastructure services to the cloud, and also allocated high-performance servers to the client. They were required by Zemtek to organize the work of its own services without the access of third parties. We also linked different types of infrastructure and got a hybrid cloud as a result. Our team set up a common routing and network, engineers selected tools to connect the client cloud in Moscow with the created hybrid infrastructure, and configured continuous data exchange. Such a model will allow the customer to easily increase the volume of capacity due to the public segment, without worrying about the lack of internal resources, - said Andrey Savin, head of the service development group in the technical segment of Softline Group of Companies.

As part of the project, the Softline team also performed work to configure channel encryption using the S-Terra Gate product.

Softline Group of Companies specialists ensured reliable communication between the public and private segment by organizing a single local network between our infrastructure on the ground and Softline Multi-Cloud. This allowed us to solve two problems - to store sensitive data in a private segment and independently scale resources in the provider's cloud. And thanks to the consultations of technical support engineers of Softline Group of Companies, we can systematically, at a pace convenient for us, transfer the remaining services to the cloud. With the Softline command, we also significantly increased the fault tolerance of the infrastructure. As a result, we received a high level of availability of services while minimizing capital expenditures, - said Alexey Andrianov, director of the IT department of Zemtek Digital.
