Cloud Infrastructure - Cloud Management

Every day, with each new adjustment, your cloud configuration continues to grow and evolve.

Private clouds offer more customized security opportunities but can require more time and capital investments. Some private clouds restrict server capacity, which limits scalability. However, private cloud infrastructure provides optimum protection for sensitive data. Dynamic utilization of public cloud capacity for overflow provides maximum security and performance at minimal cost.

Public clouds offer highly flexible pay-as-you-go plans and work well for big data analytics and growing organizations or pilot projects. The shared infrastructure of public cloud services provides near-unlimited data storage capacity and automated data analytics at a lower cost. However, this approach requires active control and intentional planning of cloud resources.

Building, configuring, and polishing up a slew of powerful dashboards bring the full realization of what the original promise of the cloud was. By custom-crafting your organization's visualizations, executives can help avoid overprovisioning, lost instances, and runaway storage costs. Our team of cloud experts, vendors, and partners can help define and configure dashboards and tools to help bring clarity to your cloud infrastructure.

It's imperative to develop a comprehensive migration strategy that's truly guided by a clear and in-depth understanding all existing systems of record. Without the right people and materials in place, the migration could fail, costing far more in time and effort to untangle systems, data, and processes in the long run.

With wall-sized diagrams, (dependency, data-flow, application inventory, integration, interaction, and many other diagram types), our teams have helped organizations plan their migration to the cloud in great detail. We can help streamline the process and greatly shorten the overall project timeline. Often these carefully drawn-up diagrams of workflows and dataflows allow back-end systems to be redesigned in the process. A successful migration can often leave system redundancies and grossly inefficient processes behind.

Teams can be empowered to lift their own applications, processes, and data to the right level of their own cloud instances. Our consulting engagements can often expedite this process, building up teams to new levels of competency in their organization's cloud platform of choice.

Taking full advantage of AIOps and software robotic process automation, our clients have leveraged cloud capabilities to optimize and even transform their business performance. Diagrams and workflows defined in the early part of the engagement may typically serve the various spawned automation efforts later on in the engagement.

Ensure compliance, security, and efficiency. Compliance with PCI DSS and other regulatory standards requires active management. Ongoing monitoring of SLAs is an important aspect of cloud management.

Product Perfect offers comprehensive consulting services covering every step of the cloud migration, cloud implementation, compliance, and cloud maintenance process.

Our unparalleled expertise, combined with a disciplined methodical approach, will help you leverage innovative cloud technology throughout your organization, helping you speed up your digital transformation.

Realize all the benefits of cloud processes while simultaneously avoiding all the pitfalls.

Step 1

Analyze and Diagram

Many systems of record reveal a history of modular expansion from a front-end perspective. The result is redundancy and needless complexity in data storage, data flow, and system architecture. Back-end redesign enhances system performance as well as organizational performance. These wall-sized diagrams show the flow of information throughout the applications in the organization, and how the business truly operates.

Step 2

Alignment

Align business processes and system of record to one another. Cloud computing capabilities do not simply support business processes. They often replace and re-imagine many of the processes altogether. They ultimately constitute a new and necessary competency that instantly becomes integral to operations. The enterprise systems and the operational processes are realigned in the context of cloud migration. This comprehensive analysis and back-end redesign, incorporating new cloud capabilities, may result in new competitive advantages as well.

Step 3

Platform Selection

Carefully selecting the platform, along with the type(s) of cloud resources (private, public, or hybrid). The choice is driven by the scale and complexity of business processes and needs, the technology stacks involved, and various industry security and compliance requirements. Hybrid systems using multiple public cloud providers are the norm for large organizations.

Step 4

Automation

Automate, automate, automate. Organizational growth, increasing data handling and storage needs, and/or IT advances in AIOps and RPA may require or allow greater degrees of automation. Greater automation in primary system-of-record applications often also requires greater automation of self-monitoring and management capabilities.

Step 5

Management

Deploying to the cloud typically involves instituting a legitimate cloud management platform. The use of multiple cloud applications and providers may set the stage for forgotten instances and compliance issues. Frequent review and periodic renegotiation of SLAs ensures that provisioning of computing and storage capacity remains at the appropriate scale. The foundation of cloud management lies at the intersection of deep understanding of the firm’s processes and state-of-the-art back-end system design expertise.
