Development of a high-performance IoT server designed to control and monitor security sensors geographically distributed over country region

Highlights

• Development of a high-performance IoT server
• Management and monitoring of 800,000 security sensors
• Simultaneous control of over 50,000 IoT devices
• Processing 500 million requests per day
• Integration with external systems
• Implementation and integration at the regional level of the country

The challenge

The customer required a specialized high load productive software complex for controlling and receiving / processing signals from security sensors for the technological support of thousands of objects.

The software complex was supposed to serve the devices that are in operation, both for ordinary individuals and in large industrial facilities.

The software complex had to receive information in a timely manner and send signals to control panels, as well as allow remote control of devices, including reconfiguration and flashing.

The results

The development turned out to be a lightweight and high-performance software package that exceeded customer expectations. The reserve of processor time reached 50 percent with the maximum number of simultaneously connected devices.

The product has successfully passed bench tests in the infrastructure of the customer with a flow of up to 500,000,000 requests per day.

A high load server maintains simultaneous connections with all 50,000 or more devices, performs real-time continuous monitoring of their availability and status using a secure protocol, transmits pick-up signals to private security panels, and provides specialists with remote control of devices, including programming their settings and firmware updates.

Summary or Highlights

• Development of a specialized high-load fault-tolerant software package
• Cluster on dozens of nodes operating 24/7
• Specialized failover system
• Tens of millions of biometric identifiers
• Trillions of comparison operations
• Country Government Integration

The challenge

The customer had a need for a high-performance automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS), designed for tens of millions of fingerprints, designed for 24/7 fault-tolerant operation.

The main target audience for the customer's product is the use in projects of the Civil ID scale class from a large corporation to the level of a federal state system.

AFIS was supposed to integrate into a system of any scale as a ready back-end using its interfaces.

There were also requirements for scalability, fault tolerance and high reliability.

The results

The development and evolution of the product has resulted in a flexible, reliable and simple system that has successfully proven its viability in high-loaded integrations around the world, from industry-specific security systems to systems that process the data of millions of voters at the level of the whole country as part of state elections.

The product has been successfully integrated into federal systems in three continents of the world. Performed trillions of search operations without a single failure.

Using this product, the customer entered a new business segment, having the opportunity to participate in a more marginal class of projects.

Product deployment takes place in minutes, product maintenance is also very simple, and therefore the product has a significantly lower TCO than competing products and solutions.
