Case Study: AELF achieves greater blockchain availability and security with Google Cloud Platform

AELF Providing secure, speedy blockchain solutions for businesses in the cloud

AELF, a blockchain solutions provider, faced challenges with slow processing on traditional blockchains, limited interoperability between dApps, and the need for a cloud environment that could deliver stronger availability, security, and lower operational burden. To address this, AELF moved part of its global node network to Google Cloud Platform, using services including Compute Engine and Cloud SQL.

With Google Cloud Platform, AELF implemented encrypted VMs, automated scalability, and cloud networking and security tools such as Cloud Load Balancing, VPC, Cloud Firewall, and IAM. The migration was completed in about a month, helped by partner Searce, and AELF reported improved service availability, stronger security, reduced costs, less operational workload, and faster VM deployment thanks to simpler encryption setup.
