Summary

Mutualink's IT team modernized its Interoperable Response and Preparedness Platform (IRAPP) by adopting a microservices architecture, which enabled dozens of technology components to work seamlessly together. The company turned to Redis Enterprise as the central data store due to its ability to provide a flexible and efficient data layer with top performance, effortless scalability, and high availability. This allows Mutualink's platform to maintain consistently high performance and scale dynamically by adding servers or availability zones as collaboration volumes expand. With Redis Enterprise, Mutualink can handle a large number of concurrent data requests with sub-millisecond latency, while also ensuring high availability through Active-Active replication and conflict-free replicated datatypes (CRDT). The company now uses Redis as both a caching layer and primary data store, which enables faster deployment, reduced vendor sprawl, and increased efficiency.
