Dynamic WAN path selection
Organizations adopting Hybrid Networks have multiple physical connectivity options (e.g. MPLS, Internet, 4G, satellite network), making static mappings when structuring their infrastructure. e.g. MPLS for data centre to branch office traffic, Internet for data centre to SaaS deployment. Internet for video traffic & 4G for voice traffic. It was needed to make that selection at […]
Securing network applications using TLS stacks and crypto offloading
Customers have faced challenges in network application security, especially with the growth of virtualised infrastructure. Alumnus has over a decade of experience in developing network applications using TLS stacks like OpenSSL, MbedTLS and wolfSSL. These have been used to implement a TLS proxy for middleboxing encrypted traffic, to secure embedded file transfer and robotics applications […]
Transforming complex on-premise applications to work in the Cloud
Alumnus has been working with a global network equipment leader to transform their solutions to operate in the cloud. Over five years, the on-premise application orchestrators were taken to the cloud, and transformed into a multi-tenant orchestrator. This included: Re-engineering the Central server components to operate with the distributed Appliances that are installed on Edge […]
Enhancing security for Home Routers using vulnerability assessment
An industry leader in the high-performance broadband and networking space needed an in-depth vulnerability assessment and enterprise firewall implementation, while maintaining high-speed network experience. In order to solve this problem Alumnus carried out a plethora of vulnerability tests like Port scanning, various Denial of Service attacks (DDoS, DRDoS), Flooding attacks (Smurf, DNS flood, SYN / […]
Application for dementia patientcare
A medical firm sought a complementary treatment for dementia patients to help the effectiveness of existing procedure. Alumnus delivered a platform with a content management System (CMS) that uses a Windows tablet to show personalised images and videos created based on patient experience and preferences. The CMS shows these to methodically stimulate patients’ memories, uplifting […]
Improving data acquisition for a digital library
A digital library is a 24×7 virtual knowledge repository of millions of books and publications. The contents are sourced from educational boards, institutions, publishers, online video tutorials etc. and hence are formatted differently. Library Scientists needed to capture the data and metadata in a uniform format to enable proper searching among the millions of available resources. Given the volume of data, […]
Cloud service for tracking handheld devices
The objective of this project was to prevent the Loss (Shrinkage) of Android devices. Devices rented to customers were at times left unattended, and few of them could not be recovered. An Android Application ran an algorithm to ‘predict’ whether a device was lost using data collected from various sensors (accelerometer, Wi-fi) and the battery. […]
Analysing energy storage data
A start-up in the field of Electric energy storage management needed to make their energy unit data available in the cloud for authorised clients to view and query, with a mandate to minimize expensive manual work. Alumnus architected and designed a solution to read battery unit data and store it into purpose-built cloud databases. These […]
Accelerated eCommerce Deliveries with ML
A leading global eTailer wanted to optimize their Warehouse picking algorithm to reduce picking time and fatigue, and thereby speed up deliveries. Picking cost also needed to be reduced, which depended on the distance travelled within the warehouse and staff-productivity around differing shelf-heights and stowing locations. Taking the floor plan and picking order as inputs, […]
