1. Intelligent Alert Routing for IoT Monitoring

RackBank, a leading data center service provider, uses Prometheus to monitor their infrastructure, including servers, databases, and network hardware. 

However, they faced a challenge in efficiently routing monitoring alerts to the right team members based on specific conditions. They needed a better solution to ensure alerts were directed to the relevant teams, ensuring faster responses and smoother operations.

With viaSocket’s automated workflows RackBank able to set up alerts routing based on predefined conditions. 

Alerts from Prometheus monitoring are seamlessly routed to designated team members via various communication channels such as WhatsApp, Telegram, or Slack ensuring swift response and resolution.

The Result : RackBank now benefits from proactive monitoring, with issues detected before they escalate, and swift responses that minimize downtime and ensure smooth operations. 

2. Streamlining KYC Verification Workflow

Through the KYC process, RackBank gathers information about the identity and address of customers to prevent misuse and ensure that only legitimate users benefit from their services. 

To manage KYC verification, RackBank relies on digio.in. However, the team often found themselves spending too much time manually verifying each customer's KYC, which made it difficult to focus on other important tasks.

Now, with the help of viaSocket, RackBank has set up an automated workflow for this process. Automated alerts are sent to internal teams through Slack and Telegram, ensuring prompt action on new KYC requests.

The Result : By integrating with digio's APIs, RackBank can efficiently verify customer details, while also ensuring timely follow-ups on any unresolved tickets. This helps maintain compliance and keeps customer satisfaction high, all without the need for constant manual intervention.

3. Efficient Network Monitoring via SNMP

RackBank is a data center service provider where network devices play a critical role. To manage these devices, RackBank uses SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows them to communicate with each other.

However, they faced a challenge with monitoring—there was a gap in timely and accurate alerting when network devices exceeded predefined thresholds.

With viaSocket, RackBank was able to set up precise thresholds for SNMP-based alerting, ensuring that alerts are triggered on time and issues are addressed quickly, keeping their network running smoothly and efficiently.

The Result : Alerts are triggered based on predefined conditions, notifying internal teams promptly for proactive network management and issue resolution.

4. Optimizing Form Data Management

Form is a quick and flexible way that allows you to gather information from your customers. RackBank also integrates form services across its websites for various purposes such as — signup, contact, queries and meeting scheduling.

Before automation, the management team had to manually go through every form, update all the details into Google Sheets, and then schedule meetings on Calendly.

viaSocket integrates with RackBank's form services to streamline data management.

Data collected from various forms is automatically synced with WHMCS, LeadSquared, Google Sheets and Calendly, ensuring seamless operations and accurate record-keeping.

The Result : Internal teams receive alerts via Telegram and Slack for timely action on form submissions and meeting schedules.

5. Ensuring Website Uptime and Performance

RackBank manages multiple CNAME records across its websites, making it crucial to keep track of website uptime and performance to ensure a seamless user experience. Monitoring these domains is key to maintaining operational excellence. 

With viaSocket's Cron functionality, RackBank can automatically monitor website uptime and performance across all its domains, ensuring any issues are quickly detected and resolved, which helps keep their websites running smoothly and users happy.

The Result : Enhanced website uptime and performance, ensuring uninterrupted service delivery.
