AWS CLOUD Services

Why?

Whatever your line of business, you have most likely moved some of your IT to the cloud in one way or another. Many organisations make that move and then fail to see the benefits the cloud promises.

While it is possible to achieve greater flexibility, agility, mobility and cost-savings by moving systems, data and workloads to the cloud, there are many ways to make the transition, and they differ greatly in what they deliver.

The benefits of switching from on-premise software application to a SaaS app that delivers similar functionality are very different to those gained by reimagining legacy proprietary software as a native cloud app based on microservices and a containerised approach to application delivery, which, in turn, is very different to simply lifting and shifting that legacy app from on-premise servers to servers hosted in a cloud provider’s data centre.

There is no single right way to move to the cloud. What is right for you depends on your business objectives, long-term strategy, degree of technical expertise available, desirable speed of deployment, timescales, budget, preferred suppliers, and many other considerations.

DataPhoenix helps you make sense of this complexity. We assess your cloud readiness and introduce the best practices, tools and frameworks for migrating, whether you are moving applications, websites, databases, storage, virtual services or entire data centres.

What?

DataPhoenix draws on experience from previous consulting engagements to support the entire migration process.

DataPhoenix follows the AWS Well-Architected Framework so you get the full benefits of your cloud migration, and works with you from start to finish. We begin by assessing your cloud adoption readiness, giving you insights, gap analysis and recommendations before you start.

We make sure you have the skills and expertise you need, along with the best practices and tools to get the job done. Early support to develop and refine the business case for migration, and your choice of technologies on AWS, is an important part of this. We recommend tools and services according to the outcomes you want to achieve, and help you navigate them.

  • Infrastructure as code (IAC) enables you to manage your infrastructure in an easy, flexible and unified way. You gain control, the ability to easily replicate, version control, support for DevOps and a rigorous and structured approach to infrastructure management. We favour Terraform for this, and also work with CloudFormation.
  • Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) is a rapid deployment methodology for delivering changes. Automating delivery speeds it up, and automated approval mechanisms speed it up further. Our solutions use tools including Jenkins, CircleCI, AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild.
  • Lift and shift existing applications onto AWS using EC2 or refactor your existing services as cloud native apps using AWS serverless offerings such as Lambda, DynamoDB, Glue and Amazon Kinesis.
  • Get more from your business data with a data lake on AWS, building data processing pipelines with tools such as AWS Glue and Amazon EMR.
  • Manage your containerised workloads on AWS using AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) or run Kubernetes on AWS Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS).
  • Your cloud workloads must be monitored effectively to ensure performance, security and cost objectives are achieved. We favour Grafana and Prometheus for an open-source stack, and commercial observability platforms for their query languages, ready-made workflows and visual dashboards.
  • Use Elasticsearch and Kibana for better security and greater transparency of your systems and infrastructure events, through visualised logging.
