The Technological Evolution in Comprehensive Security and Tracking

Strix is the Internet of Things platform that, in a single application, allows people to take care of their families, cars, motorcycles, homes and pets; and companies to securely manage the logistics of their fleets.

Strix provides users with the ability to track, monitor and recover their most valuables assets with visibility and information at any times. Strix leverages the power of data and technology to ensure users can protect everything they own.

The challenge

With a strong presence in the market, Strix has earned a reputation as a trusted provider of vehicle tracking solutions, empowering individuals and
businesses with peace of mind through advanced security and asset management systems.

With a focus on online tracking, fleet management, and assistance in stolen vehicle recovery, Strix has historically set the industry standard, ensuring
the safety and protection of countless vehicles.

Now, the company needed to migrate and modernize its platforms to achieve seamless integration and scalability, enabling advanced data analytics,
online monitoring, and an enhanced user experience.

Strix approached DinoCloud in search of an AWS partner to assist them in migrating their platforms. After a lengthy selection process, Strix chose
DinoCloud based on its expertise and the comprehensive assessment conducted during the discovery phase.

Strix infrastructure was a hybrid setup, requiring collaboration with networking partners for Direct Connect services. They needed a partner to
support them in migrating their platforms, address pain points such as cost optimization, and overcome challenges related to analytics.

Our Approach

DinoCloud offered Strix a unique technical approach that differentiated them from other partners, as DinoCloud offers end-to-end consulting services for migration, long-term consultancy for post-migration support, and a dedicated support and monitoring service.

By leveraging AWS technologies and services such as EKS, AWS MSK, RDS, Application Load Balancer, Network Load Balancer, EC2, Route 53, Control Tower, and more, DinoCloud aimed to create a secure, scalable, and efficient environment for Strix’s migration to the cloud.

The project involved the creation of development, staging, and testing environments. DinoCloud collaborated closely with Strix’s networking partners and used various AWS services and technologies to address specific requirements such as data processing, analytics, load balancing, and DNS management.

The team in charge of the migration also implemented security measures, organizational account structures, and monitoring tools like Grafana and Prometheus and utilized AWS services like SNS, Systems Manager, ECR, and Secret Manager. Finally, DirectConnect and AWS Site- to-Site has been applied.

Strix Flotas is the intelligent platform for
comprehensive fleet management that
allow users to monitor and analyze the
operation of their assets online at any time.
