With nearly 300 stores and 22 international brands to support, ACFC & VFBS needed cloud infrastructure that could keep pace with its rapid expansion, stable, secure, and ready to scale at any time. They turned to GreenNode to make it happen.
Challenge
- Ensuring stable system operations to meet the demands of continuous chain store expansion in line with business strategy.
- Supporting IT infrastructure for core systems such as HR management, ERP, billing systems, and operational reporting — ensuring availability and operational efficiency.
- Strengthening data security and safety in compliance with legal requirements, especially as the volume of transactions and user data grows rapidly.
Solution
To meet ACFC & VFBS's requirements for stable, secure, and easily scalable operations, VNG Cloud deployed a comprehensive cloud services ecosystem including:
- vServer — Ensures business and core application systems run stably and can be quickly scaled as ACFC & VFBS grows.
- vStorage — Provides safe, easily expandable data storage with recovery capabilities, helping customers minimize the risk of data loss.
- vCDN — Accelerates content access speeds for end users across the entire system, improving customer experience and operational efficiency.
- vMonitor — Monitors infrastructure in real time, providing early incident alerts so the technical team can proactively respond and maintain system stability.
- VKS (Kubernetes Service) — Accelerates application development and deployment, optimizing operations through a modern container platform supporting microservices applications.
The system architecture is designed on a distributed and scalable model, enabling ACFC & VFBS to stably operate nearly 300 stores while remaining flexible to meet future business growth needs — all while optimizing internal IT infrastructure operating costs.
We are completely at ease having migrated our technology infrastructure from self-managed on-premise to GreenNode's cloud computing platform. This allows us to focus our resources on core operations and business activities to create value for the company, knowing that the technology infrastructure is being managed and operated by a trusted and professional partner like GreenNode.
