MAROCLEAR
This project automates the deployment of a secure and highly available Axway SecureTransport platform for Maroclear using on-premises infrastructure. It delivers a robust enterprise-grade setup through:
– High-Availability Design (dual-node setup with two synchronized databases for resilience)
– Zone-Based Architecture (segregated DMZ, Edge, and Core zones for strict security compliance)
– Multi-Environment Deployment (Production, Pre-Production, and UAT for controlled delivery cycles)
– Disaster Recovery Site (secondary infrastructure ensuring business continuity in case of failure)
– On-Premises Deployment (custom-tailored infrastructure built within Maroclear’s secure data center)
Breaf & idea.
The goal of this project was to deploy and maintain a secure, high-availability Axway SecureTransport platform for Maroclear, Morocco’s central securities depository. Using on-premises infrastructure, the solution was designed to meet stringent security and compliance requirements by implementing a multi-zone architecture with DMZ, Edge, and Core zones. The project included creating separate environments for Production, Pre-Production, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT), alongside a robust Disaster Recovery site to ensure continuous operation and data integrity. This setup provides Maroclear with a resilient, scalable, and secure file transfer system critical for its financial operations.
Result.
🔐 Successfully deployed a high-availability Axway SecureTransport platform with dual-node redundancy and synchronized databases, ensuring zero downtime.
🛡️ Implemented a multi-zone security architecture (DMZ, Edge, Core) that meets enterprise and regulatory standards for secure data transfers.
⚙️ Established three fully isolated environments — Production, Pre-Production, and UAT — enabling robust testing and seamless deployment workflows.
🔄 Designed and configured a Disaster Recovery site, providing business continuity and rapid failover capabilities in case of primary site failure.
📈 Delivered a scalable and maintainable on-premises infrastructure tailored for Maroclear’s mission-critical financial operations.
