Recently, Mithi Software’s Solution Architect, Mr. Pankaj Choudhary appeared on This Is My Architecture to talk about refactoring our email storage architecture from Block Store to Blob Store.
[spacer height=”15px”]At Mithi we are always looking for ways to improve our offerings to our customers. This shift will create a more cost effective and scalable solution.
[spacer height=”20px”]Backdrop of our Solutions:
We currently have 4 SaaS Solutions viz: SkyConnect, Vaultastic, ClrStream and Ideolve for Business Email, Archival, Security & Team Collaboration.
[spacer height=”15px”]With these platforms managing ever growing storage volumes, the critical requirement in these solutions is enabling a cost effective, scalable, fast and highly reliable storage platform.
[spacer height=”20px”]Progress thus far:
To achieve the above goal, we are in the process of transforming our email storage architecture, which will take place in 2 phases:
[spacer height=”15px”]Phase 1 (completed): A hierarchical storage layout with infrequently used mail and mail index moved to a warm BLOB store (Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)) with the block store as an intermediate hot store to store the frequently used email data (Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS))
[spacer height=”15px”]Phase 2 (in progress): Move completely to blob storage and a stateless design to take further advantage of server-less.
