DDMX leverages IT infrastructure on AWS with the help of Flexa Cloud

A DDMX is a company specialized in logistics solutions that uses technology to provide services according to the specific needs of each client, from the analysis and interpretation of data.

Located in Itajubá, south of Minas Gerais, the company operates nationally and internationally, serving clients in Chile and Argentina.

DDMX's operations started in 2009 and since then it has experienced rapid growth, which has increased the need to invest more in IT infrastructure. That's when Flexa Cloud became part of the company's history.

We'll talk about that in this article.
Read on to understand how Flexa Cloud contributed to bringing DDMX's IT infrastructure to Amazon Web Services (AWS)!

Challenge

Need to improve the IT infrastructure to reach greater heights.

Fábio Preti, IT director at DDMX, says that the company started offering vehicle and equipment monitoring services to the market. Soon, it was realized that customers needed even more specialized services. “The market was looking for tools to support the decision, so we started to implement telemetry solutions and introduce more advanced data visualization structures”.

It was then that Fleet Expert was born, a platform for auditing and optimizing fleets, today the most advanced tool at DDMX. “The focus of this system is to optimize the customer's operation in the field, reducing costs and increasing operational gains”, says the executive.

Based on Information Technology, the growth of DDMX began to demand more infrastructure capacity. The acquisition of customers such as the electricity distribution company ENEL made this need even more evident.

Solution

Flexa Cloud helps to migrate infrastructure to AWS.

A big step taken by DDMX was the migration to Amazon Web Service (AWS). For this, Flexa Cloud was the ideal partner, according to Fábio Preti. 

“Flexa's first role was the nationalization of billing. Then, to serve customers the size of ENEL, we needed to configure the infrastructure on AWS following strict international standards; once again Flexa helped us from the planning to the execution of the project”, says the executive.

For Preti, the collaborative way in which the work is carried out with Flexa made all the difference in the bigger steps that DDMX started to take. “We managed to arrive at the model that ENEL demanded with the help of Flexa. All configuration, support, initial setup, as well as infrastructure management on AWS are delivered to us by Flexa”.

According to Deivid Bitti, CTO at Flexa, the most modern techniques available on AWS were used, such as the Fargate solution, which is a serverless computing engine for containers used with the Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), suitable for mission-critical applications. 

Flexa also implemented Spot Instances within this scenario, which provided significant cost reductions.

Result

Flexa Cloud supports the advancement of DDMX by managing the IT infrastructure on AWS.

“After the success of the ENEL project, we thought: why not bring Flexa into the DDMX infrastructure itself? We did this, with a total focus on implementing the best IT infrastructure standards on the market,” says Preti.

The executive says that it is with great enthusiasm that DDMX looks at its journey and is proud of having a first class IT infrastructure. “Flexa's role was fundamental for this. As IT director, I highly recommend Flexa for companies that are starting and want to enter the market with the best standards of AWS infrastructure, but also for those that want a successful migration”.
