The Client
Sunray Group is a family-owned, multifaceted corporation specializing in hospitality and development. Sunray believes in the strength of brand equity. The group is successfully building an ever-increasing portfolio of award-winning brands, which include Marriott, Starwood, Hilton, Radisson, Best Western, IHG, Wyndham and Choice Hotels. They have also developed prominent brands such as Tim Horton's, McDonald's, Fionn McCool’s, Shell and Petro Canada.
The Challenge
Sunray needed a secure and scalable solution to exchange large volumes of files with external partners and internal business teams. Their existing on-premises SFTP infrastructure required frequent maintenance, lacked visibility, and did not integrate natively with cloud-native analytics workflows.
The Solution
Hallmark designed and implemented a fully managed file transfer solution using AWS Transfer Family to modernize Sunray’s legacy SFTP environment.
- External partners connect using SFTP and FTPS.
- AWS Transfer Family securely transfers files into Amazon S3
- Files are automatically validated and processed using pre-configured workflows.
- Amazon CloudWatch provides centralized monitoring, logging, and alerts.
- Fine-grained access controls are enforced using IAM and encryption with AWS KMS.
Key Benefits
- Eliminated on-premises SFTP server maintenance.
- Improved security and compliance with encryption and auditing.
- Scalable file ingestion without infrastructure limits.
- Real-time visibility into file transfer activity.
