Cloud migration for a company with distributed services

This post was originally written in German and has been auto-translated into English.

An interesting insight into the work with one of our customers:

A company operated services such as CRM, invoicing software, file cloud and a document management system at several on-premise locations. The challenges and requirements were:

• Standardization of the infrastructure through migration to the cloud
• No exposure of the services to the internet

What did we do?

🔹 Exchange and consulting: In close cooperation with the customer, we analyzed the goals and requirements in detail.

🔹 Strategy and architecture: Based on the requirements, we developed a customized strategy and architecture for the cloud.

Architecture:

• VPN as entry point: To make the services securely accessible and to operate the network in the cloud, we have set up a site-to-site VPN so that no services are publicly exposed.
• Custom domain names: The internal services are accessible via custom domain names. This is realized by a DNS server within the infrastructure, which resolves the requests internally accordingly.

🔹 Monitoring and maintenance: We take over the continuous monitoring and maintenance of the system to ensure smooth operation.

The company's services now run efficiently and securely in the cloud without being publicly exposed. We are still ready to adapt the system if necessary.
