Ultimasoft MSP
Overview
UltimaPOS is a market leader in cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) solutions, providing mission-critical payment and management services to high-traffic retail environments. To maintain their leadership, they required a fully managed, ultra-available infrastructure capable of handling massive transaction volumes without downtime. Partnering with Benilar, UltimaPOS transitioned to a hardened Amazon EKS environment designed for maximum resilience, real-time threat mitigation, and seamless scalability.
Challenges
High Availability Demands: Ensuring 24/7 uptime for retail operations where even seconds of latency impact revenue.

Infrastructure Management: Scaling Kubernetes (EKS) clusters efficiently during peak demand periods without overspending on unused resources.
Deployment Bottlenecks: Modernizing the deployment pipeline to ensure security was "baked in" rather than added as an afterthought.
Results and Benefits
Operational Resilience: Developed an infrastructure capable of absorbing sudden traffic spikes, ensuring a consistent user experience for UltimaPOS clients.
Cost & Performance Optimization: Fine-tuned EKS clusters to balance high-performance requirements with cost-effective resource allocation.
Proactive Incident Response: Reduced mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) by implementing automated security protocols and real-time monitoring.
