Case Study: MaxSold achieves secure, scalable cloud infrastructure with Onix and Google Cloud Platform

MaxSold strengthens secure cloud infrastructure and global backups with Onix

MaxSold, a Toronto-based online auctioneer, faced significant infrastructure challenges hosting its two domains on aging leased hardware from a private data center. These challenges included performance latency, a lack of capacity for growth, and critical security vulnerabilities that left it exposed to SQL injection attacks and Denial-of-Service website attacks. To overcome these issues, MaxSold partnered with vendor Onix to migrate its operations to the Google Cloud Platform.

Onix engineered a secure cloud infrastructure on GCP for MaxSold, segmenting front-end and back-end services to improve security and replacing Windows servers with less vulnerable Linux ones. The solution also implemented VEEAM software and GCP snapshot technology for reliable, automated backups and disaster recovery. This migration completely alleviated the previous hardware, performance, and capacity issues. Crucially, Onix also identified and eliminated previously undetected security vulnerabilities, protecting the company from attacks and ensuring business continuity with a more robust and secure platform.
