success story

Virtusa helps a leading media solutions company optimize costs by introducing microservices on GCP

The client is a leading American mobile technology company offering targeted placement and tracking of advertisements on computers, mobile phones, and end-point systems such as cash registers. Their products collect data on how their clients' ads perform in terms of consumer exposure. The need to be more nimble and agile to their clients' needs led them on a journey to digitally transform systems and processes. The client embarked on a project to lay down the cloud foundation on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)and migrate its real-time bidding platform to the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) from Rackspace. Virtusa needed to migrate the real-time bidding platform with 10+ million requests per minute to the cloud.
