Cloud & Mission Critical
Foundation for continuity
Your organization depends on critical business applications and cloud solutions. 'Your ambition is to be Fit for Purpose': the best applications for every purpose and process, which collectively act as the enabler of your business. i.e. the digital foundation for continuity.
A robust digital foundation for your cloud strategy.
The details makethe difference
When choosing the digital foundation of your organization, there are many aspects to take into account. The subtleties are vital and every detail counts:
Reliable availability
Want maximum uptime to suit your business? Provide guarantees and choose suitable (geo-)redundant servers and fail-over mechanisms. Have them tested regularly and ensure your organization receives a comprehensive service. It ensures peace of mind. Use the possibilities of the cloud responsibly. Stay in control and sit in the driving seat yourself.
Scalability and performance
For maximum agility and performance, well-considered technology choices are vital: For scalability and speed, you can deploy auto-scaling, load balancing and content delivery networks (CDNs). Edge computing ensures low latency and creates local computing power. With Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Configuration as Code (CaC) and GitOps you can manage infrastructure efficiently, error-free and with version control. An API-first and microservices-based architecture offers the flexibility to scale quickly, for example for rapid expansion in response to changing market demand.
Permanent freedom of choice
Minimize the risk of vendor lock-ins, for example with open standards and system interoperability. A well-thought-out hybrid cloud strategy addresses this.
Security & compliance
Demonstrable compliance with laws and regulations is a priority. Consider the GDPR, ISO 27001 and 27017, SOC2 and NIS2 for critical infrastructures. Also consider specific rules for your sector, such as NEN7510 for the healthcare sector, the DNB good practice within Finance and the PCI DSS standards for payment transactions. Apply CIS Benchmarks: best practices for system security and risk mitigation.
Security
Secure your data with modern security tooling, such as EDR, NDR and XDR. Invest in robust disaster recovery and backup solutions and implement a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). Data storage in the EU is usually necessary to comply with GDPR legislation.
Cost efficiency and total cost of ownership (TCO)
Avoid unexpected cloud costs (“Cloud Bill Shock”) by applying an approach in which finance, IT and operations work together to gain insight into, control and optimize cloud costs (FinOps). A good balance between start-up costs and operational costs makes for a healthy business case. Use cloud services responsibly is essential, in which smart use of hybrid cloud services is often the most cost-effective option.
AI & Automation
AI can help with predictive maintenance and automatic scaling. Anomaly detection automatically recognizes unusual or deviating patterns in data and helps ensure optimal security. AI for IT Operations (AIOps) can be deployed for smart monitoring and incident management. Take advantage of automated incident response and self-healing infrastructure.
Adaptation
Every technological choice has an operational impact. With sufficient support, your people will embrace the effects of your choices.
WhitepaperThe cloud
The public cloud makes digital innovation accessible through flexibility, scalability and cost-efficiency. But that convenience comes at a price. By outsourcing your IT infrastructure to a third party, you also hand over part of the control. Find out more about the considerations, choices and steps you can take.
TOGETHER WITH OUR EXPERTS
The right cloud strategyfor your organisation
Public clouds offer rapid scalability and low costs for standard workloads and innovation.
Private clouds offer greater control over data, performance and compliance for specific security or regulatory requirements. They require investments in management and infrastructure.
Hybrid clouds combine the best of both worlds: you can keep critical workloads in a controlled private environment and place less critical ones in a public cloud.
Adaptive clouds go a step further: workloads are dynamically distributed across different environments through central management tools. This increases operational efficiency and agility.
