Client Overview

Our client, a leading enterprise in data management, required a robust and scalable analytics platform to efficiently process and analyze vast amounts of data stored across distributed file servers. They faced challenges in handling high-volume data, ensuring real-time analytics, and maintaining seamless communication between geographically distributed locations. To address these needs, we developed an advanced Data Mining and Analytics Platform leveraging modern frameworks and cloud-based infrastructure.

Challenges Faced by the Client

  • Scalability & Performance: Processing millions of files across multiple locations while ensuring minimal latency and high-speed data retrieval.
  • Complex Data Aggregation: Efficiently handling and analyzing large datasets while ensuring accuracy in metrics and filtering.
  • Automation & Scheduling: Reducing manual intervention by automating recurring scans and implementing timezone-specific scheduling.
  • Flexible Deployment: Enabling both cloud-based and on-premises deployment to accommodate diverse client requirements.

Key Features Implemented

Global Master-Agent Architecture:

  • Supports file servers distributed across multiple geographic locations.
  • Agents synchronize with a central master server using site and customer IDs.
  • Agents can group multiple sites for focused analytics and filtering.

High-Performance Scalability:

  • Processes up to 1 million files in minutes using optimized ElasticSearch clusters.
  • Aggregates complex metrics through nested queries distributed across nodes.
  • Efficiently indexes data into ElasticSearch using chunked processing.

Advanced Scheduling and Automation:

  • Enables recurring scan schedules with timezone-specific execution.
  • Uses RabbitMQ for communication with agents and to minimize resource consumption.
  • Custom static and synchronized connection manager in Java for RabbitMQ.

Deployment Flexibility:

  • Sensors deployable via Docker or OVF, ensuring compatibility across environments.
  • Automated sensor execution management using Dockerfiles.
  • Supports on-premises hosting for clients requiring local analytics solutions.
