About
DANA
DANA
DANA is a leading digital wallet provider in Indonesia, where its mobile payment gateway is used for both online and offline transactions. This service enables a range of cashless and card-less transactions, including the purchase of mobile data packages, payments to various DANA merchants, and other bill payments.
Challenge
DANA’s existing IT infrastructure used an on-premise solution, combined with a public cloud hosted in Singapore. When the company’s transaction volumes began to increase, several issues emerged for the company’s online applications from both a security and performance perspective.
DANA needed to meet local compliance requirements for its electronic payments and, for its on-premise infrastructure, the company faced mounting operational and compliance costs to achieve this. High latency issues as well as data and network security risks were also negatively impacting its network.
These factors translated into a poor user experience for the company’s customers, IT team, and partners, where these stakeholders struggled to connect to the platform and complete their transactions using the existing IT ecosystem.
Why Alibaba Cloud
DANA worked with Alibaba Cloud to address the various challenges the business faced in a cost-effective manner, allowing the company’s continued growth and expediting innovation across its mobile payment platform.
Working with Alibaba Cloud, DANA simplified and modernized its IT infrastructure, reduced its operational requirements, and built a secure and fast transaction network. DANA also realized upfront savings on its server investments and reduced latency across its network for its customers, IT team, and partners.
Architecture
DANA migrated its fragmented IT infrastructure to Alibaba Cloud, deploying a wide range of our cloud-based products and services
These solutions included our high-performance Elastic Compute Service (ECS) cloud servers and our Object Storage Service (OSS) to optimize its data storage, processing, and access capabilities. DANA used a range of our extensive database solutions, including ApsaraDB for RDS for On-Line Transaction Processing (OLTP), and ApsaraDB for Redis and ApsaraDB for MongoDB for its NoSQL databases.
Alibaba Cloud also provided a range of networking solutions to boost DANA’s network performance and security. These solutions included our Web Application Firewall (WAF) for real-time monitoring of its servers to ensure high availability, and Anti-DDoS protection to defend against Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks and mitigate other potential online threats.
DANA also embraced a range of our data-driven solutions including our Machine Learning Platform for AI, our DataWorks big data platform, MaxCompute large-scale data warehousing solution, and Elasticsearch analytics solution. The company also piloted our AnalyticDB for MySQL real-time data warehousing service in Indonesia.
In addition, DANA subscribed to our Enterprise Support Program, which provides a dedicated technical account manager as part of this value-added customer service resource.
Looking Forward
DANA continues to modernize its IT infrastructure on Alibaba Cloud by introducing a range of software development solutions available in our DevOps Solution.
The company recently deployed our Container Service for Kubernetes (ACK) to streamline the development of its e-wallet application. DANA has also leveraged provisioning tools, such as Terraform, to seamlessly define, deploy, and update its infrastructure on Alibaba Cloud. This has freed DANA’s development teams to focus on innovation, serving the company’s customers to deliver a seamless and highly secure mobile payments platform.
