Cloud Migration

We move systems or selected elements of IT environments to the public cloud: AWS (official partner), Azure and GCP.

For whom:

• your system is based on your own server room
• you benefit from private cloud services

When:

• you want to increase efficiency and safety without high initial costs
• you are in the course of server and application virtualization
• you are considering a costly expansion of your own infrastructure
• you want to save on costs of servers and licenses used only periodically
• you are not satisfied with the cost, efficiency and stability of your infrastructure

Technologie:

• AWS (Amazon), Azure (Microsoft), GCP (Google)

Step-by-step cooperation:

• we analyze the environment and propose the most appropriate migration model broken down into stages
• we prepare a cloud infrastructure design
• we configure cloud resources and transfer data according to the selected migration option:
  • the fastest: we move systems as they are
  • cloud-optimized: partially reconfiguring applications using dedicated cloud services
  • cloud-redesigned: more work on the client’s application side to adapt its configurations to the characteristics of public cloud services, increased automation and scalability of the infrastructure
• optimizing cloud infrastructure based on application performance in the new environment

Cloud Cost Optimization

We reduce the cost of cloud services by optimizing the architecture, infrastructure and payment models.

For whom:

• you benefit from the services of public cloud operators: Amazon Web Services, MS Azure, Google Cloud Platform
• you use a local data center or have your own server room but want to rebuild your infrastructure to handle the periodical increases in traffic volume

When:

• you feel that the costs of cloud services are too high
• costs are getting higher every month, but are not adequate to the volume of traffic handled
• you do not know if you use cloud services optimally
• you do not know how much you can save on cloud migration

Why Tenesys:

• up-to-date knowledge about opportunities and changes at cloud service providers
• permanent team of specialists in the field of cloud infrastructure design and maintenance
• more than 5 years of experience in maintaining and optimizing diverse environments in public clouds

Work process:

• we analyze the costs and use of the current infrastructure
• we design changes in the infrastructure and architecture of the application
• we design changes in payment models
• we implement changes after the project is completed
• we present recommendations for optimal adaptation of the system to the cloud infrastructure
• on request, we repeat the process, e.g. once every six months, and check the possibilities of cost reduction

Monitoring 24/7/365 - Cloud Network Operation Center

We monitor and prevent failures in cloud systems around the clock.

For whom:

• you are developing a cloud-based business
• you operate in different time zones
• you maintain cloud systems that require continuous monitoring and constant readiness to respond

When:

• each interruption in system availability generates financial losses
• you cannot provide constant availability of people who can fix a possible malfunction
• failure removal takes employees too much time
• you need early responding to signals before they cause a malfunction
• you learn about breakdowns and accessibility problems from disappointed clients

Why Tenesys:

• our monitoring processes allow us to often see the problem before the failure occurs: on average, less than 1% of incidents are reported by the client, and we get to know about 99% of them before the client and we can take corrective action
• we have experience in monitoring many systems on various public cloud service platforms

Work process:

• we analyze the system in terms of monitoring needs
• we define the SLA level: event types and response types within a specified time limit
• we implement the necessary monitoring tools and solutions
• we automate the process and prioritize and categorize events
• we establish or adapt to used communication channels and incident handling processes
• we observe → detect → react → solve → learn and manage knowledge → improve to prevent incidents from recurring
• we document the work we perform

DevOps On Demand for Business

We provide the services of experienced DevOps engineers as support in software development or as part of the DevOps team

For whom:

• you develop the product using developer workforce, without a DevOps team
