February 26, 2024 Shadow-Soft Highlights Modern Application Platforms

Co-sponsored by Shadow-Soft and Red Hat, a new white paper is now available free to 3PL’s, manufacturers, shippers & carriers.

ATLANTA, Shadow-Soft, a systems integrator with 15 years of experience modernizing legacy infrastructure and applications, has announced the availability of a new white paper entitled, “Solving Three Major Issues in Logistics Today Using a Modern Application Platform.” This white paper, which is co-sponsored by Shadow-Soft and Red Hat, provides a high-level overview of the three key issues facing mid-size to large 3PL’s, shippers and carriers. The issues explored are:

  • How to Streamline Operations
  • How to Protect Mission Critical Processes
  • How to Modernize Legacy Systems

Due to fluctuations in consumer demand, manufacturers, shippers and 3PLs are dealing with up and down cycles in production and the volume of deliveries – and this stress reverberates throughout each company’s Information Technology (IT) infrastructure. Anything that can cause downtime of critical IT systems, such as equipment failure or application failure, can have major ramifications on the ability to deliver products on time, especially for companies that operate in a high-volume environment.

Major logistics service providers and manufacturers require a modern application platform to support  a robust and seamless IT environment. A properly architected platform can enable companies to automatically scale applications up and down without manually adding hardware or computing resources. This can help significantly reduce the risk of application failure due to spikes in user demand, which means that logistics operators can continue working without stoppage.

Nick Marcarelli, VP of Engineering and Business Operations, Shadow-Soft said, “A well designed and managed application platform will provide application reliability and availability to employees, customers and partners throughout the supply chain. This is particularly important when it can protect against application failures due to sudden increases in user demand and can likewise scale back down once the rush is over.”

This white paper describes how Red Hat® OpenShift®, the industry’s leading hybrid cloud application platform powered by Kubernetes, helps IT leaders build, deploy, and manage containerized applications. It is an open source platform, built on top of Kubernetes, to facilitate the packaging of applications into containers, managing them across a cluster of servers, thus providing optimal scalability and flexibility.
