We can build your infrastructure using a hybrid approach of seamless connectivity between your internal data centers and your AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for sending data upstream, downstream, or both.

​

Uninterrupted Operations

 

Uptime is of the utmost importance, so we make sure to build out your infrastructure to be self-healing. We try to foresee problems before they happen by implementing proper monitoring, introspection, and telemetry for a totally holistic view of your AWS infrastructure.

 

Security Consulting

 

When we build out a new AWS infrastructure we will build with security in mind from the beginning, following the principle of least privilege. By doing this we ensure your systems are secure from external threats but also internal threats like careless developers deleting something they shouldn’t.

 

Related to the AWS migration, many enterprise technologies, and business executives see cloud service benefits in terms of performance, cost, and stability. However, they are more concerned about cloud security issues. Cloud security faces many complex and diverse challenges, such as cloud computing data security, security challenges of application development under the cloud model, the threat of virtualization technologies for cloud computing, as well as cloud-computing stability and reliability issues. In order to implement cloud security services for enterprises, the key is to understand the clients and their needs, then design solutions for these needs.

​

Qmoniqs’s cloud security consulting services can help clients efficiently manage data. We can help clients reduce risk, enhance information integrity, and promote data sharing. End-to-end cloud security solutions provide clients with enterprise-level security technology to meet their strict requirements, creating separation between software and the commercial cloud platform. At the same time, it increases the capabilities of crash recovery.

AWS Cost Optimization and Cost Management

 

Cost Management is a must when utilizing the cloud because if your organization isn’t following the right patterns, your AWS cloud costs can easily get out of control. With a cost optimization audit of your infrastructure and implementation, we could help you save an estimated 30%-40% per year.

 

Our evolving SRE engagement model

 

Build, Test, Deploy, Monitor & Managed Support on AWS

 

1. Build

 

We set up all the automation to control the standing up of your VPCs, VPNs, monitoring stacks, and Kubernetes clusters using tools like Cloudformation, Chef, Ansible, or Puppet.

 

2. Test

​

Once changes are detected in your application’s version control, continuous integration will run the build process which creates a Docker image and ships it to your Docker registry. Additionally, for quality assurance purposes a user acceptance testing environment creates a version of the application in your cluster. Regressions are captured in the pipeline and stopped at the door prior to getting to production.

 

3. Deploy

 

Once tests pass and the team is satisfied, the GitOps workflow updates the application running in higher environments.

 

4. Monitor

 

Once your application has been deployed, you can then proactively monitor your infrastructure to instantly detect issues with your deployments and alert the team. Logs are aggregated, shipped, and backed up automatically.

 

5. Managed Support

 

If issues arise from failed deployments, server outages, transaction locks in your database causing 500s, and scalability concerns causing application reaping, our AWS Managed support team can handle incident management for your infrastructure. We also proactively maintain your infrastructure by handling security and patch management, health checks of your infrastructure, service upgrades, monitoring, and backups.

 

AWS MIGRATIONS

 

Migrate your business, not your servers.

​

Realizing the benefits of the cloud requires more than identifying which workloads to move and in what order. Embark on a true cloud transformation by embracing cloud-native thinking, forging a path customized to your state of cloud maturity, and identifying clear outcomes you are looking to the cloud to enable.

 

Our pipeline-driven approach and innovative platform tooling enable us to move customer workloads quickly, efficiently, affordably – and with predictable results. Most importantly, we work with customers to avoid wasteful and undifferentiated outcomes delivered by typical lift-and-shift migrations.

 

Our AWS cloud-migration services create tailored solutions driven by a client’s desire to translate on-premise applications and data stores, to various cloud-based infrastructures. Our collaborative, phase-based approach provides the client with immediate results in the form of enhanced scalability, extended operational performance, and expanded security, resulting in better overall commercial enterprise flexibility.

 

Our steps for setting up the environment for an AWS cloud migration include

​

1.  Spin-up environments with best practices around VPCs

2.  Spin up 3 private subnets in 3 different availability zones

3.  Spin up 3 public subnets in 3 different availability zones

4.  Setup all the proper routing and gateways

5.  Setup framework for VPN connectivity

6.  Setup SSH Bastion boxes (if needed)

7.  Setup firewalls

8.  Setup IAM policies for per VPC segmentation

9.  Setup proper framework for Flow Log logging in each VPC

10.  Setup load-balancer framework for sites, internal and external facing

 

Our AWS migration services include:

 

Consumption-based pricing

 

The control and management of technological costs represent critical elements when establishing the viability of a particular commercial operation. On-premise life-cycle analyses suggest that mature firms spend up to 25% of net revenue per year simply monitoring and maintaining in-house systems and infrastructures. However, these static maintenance costs can be reduced considerably by migrating a data infrastructure from an on-premise to a consumption-based cloud approach.

 

Auto Scaling

 

Because cloud operations leverage aggregated customer densities higher than normal economies-of-scale can be realized from a cost perspective. This impact amortizes technical costs, thereby allowing the client to experience a much lower price per usage value.

Increased operational performance

 

Since the cloud co-locates all operational elements in a central repository all applications, functions, utilities, and affiliate systems can be applied simply and quickly. This approach allows the client to leverage the additional operational speed offered by centralized, demand-based usage.

 

Focus on business, not technology

 

Necessary on-premise infrastructure responsibilities are entirely eliminated by leveraging the cloud construct. In turn, this impact allows the client additional time to identify, target, and prosecute new sales opportunities leading to higher rates of success than previously realized.

AWS BASED DRAAS

 

AWS Based Disaster Recovery as a Service

 

The AWS cloud lets you back up, store, and recover IT systems in seconds by supporting popular DR approaches from simple backups to hot standby solutions that failover at a moment’s notice. And with 12 regions (and 5 more coming this year!) and multiple AWS Availability Zones (AZs), you can recover from disasters anywhere, any time. The following information shows a spectrum for the four scenarios, arranged by how quickly a system can be available to users after a DR event.

 

These four scenarios include:

 

1. Backup and Restore – This simple and low-cost DR approach backs up your data and applications from anywhere to the AWS cloud for use during recovery from a disaster. Unlike conventional backup methods, data is not backed up to tape. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) computing instances are only used as needed for testing. With Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)

 

2. Pilot Light – The idea of the pilot light is an analogy that comes from gas heating. In that scenario, a small flame that’s always on can quickly ignite the entire furnace to heat up a house. In this DR approach, you simply replicate part of your IT structure for a limited set of core services so that the AWS cloud environment seamlessly takes over in the event of a disaster. A small part of your infrastructure is always running simultaneously syncing mutable data (as databases or documents), while other parts of your infrastructure are switched off and used only during testing. Unlike a backup and recovery approach, you must ensure that your most critical core elements are already configured and running in AWS (the pilot light). When the time comes for recovery, you can rapidly provision a full-scale production environment around the critical core.

 

3. Warm Standby – The term warm standby is used to describe a DR scenario in which a scaled-down version of a fully functional environment is always running in the cloud. A warm standby solution extends the pilot light elements and preparation. It further decreases the recovery time because some services are always running. By identifying your business-critical systems, you can fully duplicate these systems on AWS and have them always on.

 

4. Multi-Site – A multi-site solution runs on AWS as well as on your existing on-site infrastructure in an active-active configuration. The data replication method that you employ will be determined by the recovery point that you choose, either Recovery Time Objective (the maximum allowable downtime before degraded operations are restored) or Recovery Point Objective (the maximum allowable time window whereby you will accept the loss of transactions during the DR process).

​

Our dedicated team of AWS experts can help architect Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions for your business by leveraging Amazon Web Services (AWS) as the hosting platform and our Managed Services Team as the support engine. AWS provides a robust platform to host Disaster Recovery and add additional services on demand.
