Azure Automation and implementation through DevOps

What We Can Do For You

The service automates the deployment, configuration and maintenance of infrastructure, systems and services in the cloud, including virtual machines, networks, storage, key vaults, databases, backup and monitoring. We are experts in the following methodologies: Azure DEVOps Pipelines, Terraform, Ancible Recipes and GitHub Actions.
We have helped customers create infrastructure engineering governance and process within complex technology landscapes to support large change portfolios. This increases quality, speed and decreases implementation and support cost.

Know the State of your Digital Estate

Don't guess at what is deployed where and if it is working by combining Azure DEVOps Pipeline reporting with Deployment Template Visualisation you can get a graphic output of what any part of your system looks like along with what versions are currently deployed.

Reduce System Deployment Time

Significantly reduce the time required to deploy and implement new systems using the DevOps architecture by creating reusable pipelines that automate deployment using deployment that has already been proven and is not subject to human error. This is achieved by using multiple environments for Infrastructure, Platform, Services and Applications that allows the test cycle to be run without affecting production, this can reduce deployments into production from weeks to hours.

Fully Audited Deployments

Audit not just who authorised a deployment but exactly what happened during the deployment so that any issues that do occur can be located in other deployments.

Detect Non-Compliant Assets

Avoid Configuration Drift by using by automatically detecting and reporting on or rectifying non-compliant assets. This increases security in an evergreen environment, for example by detecting use of out of date protocols, identify which systems use them, testing an automated resolution and then applying it to production.

High Cost of Physical Data Transfer

Increase your compliance and stability by automatically detecting and rectifying non-compliant assets.

Reduces cost by automating regular tasks: e.g. backups, certificate renewals

Regular tasks that would normally require manual input and working hours are now done automatically - with no effort from you.

Server Malfunctions can cause a huge loss of data—as well as incur heavy costs

A malfunction in your database structure or storage can incur huge costs - an operator will have to manually sort through an old backup and cross-reference this information with currnet records, a lengthy, cost-inducive process.

Decreased time to automatically repair and restore servers after disaster

Our systems automatically backup and restore data after an unforseen event - with minimal input from you. Save time and money with our automated solutions.

Unforeseen issues can cause massive delays and grind productivity to a halt

Without monitoring dashboards, a project can easily be overencumbered by a slew of minor problems, which can cause the delay or even stoppage of projects whihc might otherwise be highly valuable.

Anticipate problems before they happen by use of monitoring dashboards

Our monitoring dashboards flag potential issues before they become a catastrophe - allowing you to solve them ahead of time, and keep that vital project on schedule.
