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.

There are countless options for facilitating and supporting your business. Availability, scalability and reliability are the guiding principles in your choices, while expecting competitive costs. Make room for Fit-for-Purpose and choose a tailor-made solution: the most appropriate cloud solution for each application, within a single hybrid or multi-cloud strategy. So that the specific needs of the different groups and users are met as much as possible, allowing your organization to perform.

Bring your goals closer, safeguard essential processes, ensure continuity for your organization and make your mission flourish. Create a robust digital foundation for your cloud and mission-critical IT. So let's talk and be inspired by our practical examples.

The details make the 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.

Cost efficiency and 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Adaptation

Every Technological choice has an operational impact. With sufficient support, your people will embrace the effects of your choices. Therefore, also invest in change management. Reach out for advice.

Take advantage of a fit-for-purpose use of a hybrid cloud environment that facilitates your critical processes, workspaces, applications and data, thus keeping your organization flexible and resilient.
