O.P.S.I. (International Handling) Ltd., is the UPS Authorized Service Contractor in Israel since 1994. It is the only company in Israel that offers courier and freight shipments, along supply chain logistic services, all under one roof. With its headquartered at Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, and 7 logistics and customer centers, it is widely recognized as a country leader, offering a wide range of services, from domestic point-to-point shipments, to agriculture export or cold chain, time-critical delivery.
OPSI’s DMZ infrastructure was located on-premises. Meeting OPSI’s IT security standards and durability requirements caused significant spending . Trying to keep the IT budget within tight fiscal boundaries became a challenge.
To resolve these challenges, OPSI and Modality collaborated on a comprehensive cloud migration and re-architecture. DMZ servers were deployed on Amazon EC2 instances across multiple Availability Zones, with Application Load Balancers ensuring even traffic distribution and fault tolerance. All Internet inbound traffic was configured to route through AWS for inspection and filtering before it got to the application servers. Core data stores were migrated to Amazon RDS with Multi-AZ deployments and read replicas to provide automated failover, enhanced durability, and optimized read-scale performance. Static and archival data were centralized in Amazon S3, where lifecycle policies automatically transition objects to lower-cost storage tiers, delivering virtually unlimited capacity at minimal expense. A secure, multi-account framework was established using AWS Control Tower to enforce best-practice guardrails and centralized governance. AWS IAM, Security Hub, GuardDuty, and CloudTrail were integrated to deliver robust identity management, continuous threat detection, and comprehensive audit logging. Amazon ElastiCache for Redis was introduced to cache frequently accessed data, reducing latency and offloading read traffic from primary databases. Finally, Amazon OpenSearch Service was implemented to provide real-time logging, search, and analytics across applications and infrastructure.
In the aftermath of the migration, the new architecture in AWS significantly reduced IT costs. System uptime remained at 99.9%, and there were zero data-loss incidents during peak traffic. Cost management strategies ensure operational spending stays within budgetary limits.
