Challenge


As the market for cloud-based innovative systems was gaining popularity in Hong Kong, ECST required a reliable and highly capable cloud infrastructure to power its services in order to enable the company to further expand its business. Most importantly, ECST required a higher level of scalability and support for high concurrency scenarios. This is needed so that its Cloud ERP system can withstand large traffic spikes during peak seasons, such as during large promotions or sales activities. ECST required a cloud solution that could bring all the necessary computing capabilities needed to ensure the reliability of their online systems as the business grows.
