PROJECT

We work in Telecom domain. Our project is one in a chain that makes network rollout worldwide possible. We build an integrations part of workflow management system that is the backbone of the business with almost 100,000 employees. This system is used to manage thousands of projects related to mobile network rollouts from Japan to Mexico.

Overall, this is a huge project with massive amounts of data, with more than 150 servers as the infrastructure, and some servers are 96 core/1TB RAM monsters.
