A Prominent Italian Development Bank

Implementation of Azure Virtual Desktop

1) Challenge
Migrating towards a VPN-less solution by adapting an Azure Virtual Desktop solution.
  • Design and implement.
2) Goind forward
Analysing and understanding client’s needs, environment, and challenges.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
A proposal was drafted and approved by the client. Covering:
  • Areas of improvements. E.g., security and performance.
  • Phases of carrying out the project’s implementation.
  • Matrix protocol using Synapse.
  • A design based on the principle of zero-trust. E.g. approach to protect sensitive data from internal & external threats.
  • Effective implementation plan utilizing all in-hands resources.
  • Along with all the business and technical take aways.

Result & delivery

  • Implementation went 100% according to proposal and time frame.
  • The solution offered a more convenient cost to client.
  • Ease-of-use. Less complex component to manage.
  • Highly scalable. Users & resources usages.
  • AVD advantages likes identity management, backups, database security, etc..
  • Submitted a post activity report.
Metal Manufacturing Industry

From Private to Public Cloud. Estimating using FinOps Methodologies.

1) Challenge
Client came with a clear objectives but without an in-hand solution. Objectives include:
  • Reduce and optimize cost.
  • While, improving scalability, agility/performance.
  • Client’s environment is currently managed by Sorint (sircle NGMS).
  • Entire infrastructure is on a private cloud.
  • Tight deadlines due to private cloud contract expiration.
2) Goind forward
In-dept of specifics needs and requirements. A series of meetings with client’s team, sircle NGMS, & at later stages sircle Microsoft and Azure.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
A conclusion that the legacy infrastructure will no longer meeting expectations. Sorint offered an alternative proposal that included.
  • Migrating to a public cloud. Microsoft Azure.
  • Architecting a parallel environment to avoid potentials errors and provide intensive testing activities before the new environment is switched into production.
  • Client’s environment is currently managed by Sorint (sircle NGMS).
  • An estimated future costs by applying FinOps methodologies. In collaboration with sircle FinOps.

Result & delivery

  • A smooth migration within the specified timelines.
  • Validating and testing activities. No rollbacks or any significant changes.
  • 25% cost saving due to the new solution.
  • Reduced IT team’s workload and allowed more visibility and control of cost.
  • Along with various added values.
  • Submitted a post activity report.
Healthcare Industry

Design & Implement a Hybrid Infrastructure

1) Challenge
Introduce cloud native technologies:
  • Well-structured and effective strategy for migrating to the cloud.
  • Scalable architecture. Could support new needs. In relation to CRM/ERP applications that integrates services such as Azure Data Factory, Data Bricks, and Dynamics.
  • Improve operational efficiency, increase flexibility, and enhance security.
  • Best practice and detailed documentation of all activities.
2) Goind forward
In-depth assessment to identify priorities, constrains, needs , and opportunities.
3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation
  • An architecture that outlines the best practices and guidelines for implementing and managing the cloud resources.
  • Designed a network topology in compliance with Cloud Adoption Framework.
  • Hub and Spoke network architecture approach to act as an aggregation point for all resources.
  • A well-defined naming convention for all resources.
  • Multi-subscription approach with landing zone and management group for cost optimization and better separation of environments, identity management, network and other resources

Result & delivery

  • A clear hierarchical organizational structure which improves governance and simplifies managing the operations.
  • Complied with best practices. Following CAF.
  • Customization to meet security and customer’s internal regulation requirements.
  • IP addressing planning to manage and scale the network.
  • Domain controllers implemented as windows server core.
  • VPN gateway in the Hub to connect on-prem location.
  • Privileged Identity Management. e.g. of the security measures.
  • A reference architecture. Submitted a post activity report & documentation.
