Cloud Foundation

In an ever-evolving digital world, the cloud is becoming an increasingly popular solution for businesses. The cloud offers flexibility, scalability and cost savings. But before an organization can migrate to the cloud, it's critical to create a solid cloud foundation. 

With the Cloud Foundation, you lay the foundation for automated and secure operation of applications in the cloud. It enables you to quickly and easily scale an enterprise-wide cloud infrastructure based on best practice approaches.

A Cloud Foundation is the foundation for a successful implementation of cloud technologies. It comprises the basic components, resources and processes required to build a secure, scalable and efficient cloud environment. A cloud foundation is the starting point for cloud service delivery and enables organizations to drive their digital transformations.

Many companies and business units have looked into cloud IT and created initial facts regarding cloud infrastructure in recent years. On the one hand, this has enabled experience to be gained quickly and pragmatically. Still, on the other hand, it has often resulted in cloud IT growing up in the shadow of corporate IT, which only sometimes meets corporate requirements. Now the trial and error phase in terms of managed cloud is over. Enterprises want to deploy cloud IT in a sustainable and value-driven way that meets business objectives. It should meet the security and governance requirements of the business, run reliably and be able to scale across the enterprise.

By building a Cloud Foundation, Arvato Systems offers both companies already running workloads in the cloud and newcomers the proper foundation for scaling and securing enterprise cloud IT. This is done across multiple design domains, single, hybrid or multi-cloud. Arvato Systems delivers a cloud foundation based on best practices and constantly evolving in line with the cloud adoption frameworks of hyperscalers, comprising the service elements Monitoring & Management, Identity & Access, Network & Connectivity, Security & Governance. All components of the Cloud Foundation are developed as Infrastructure as Code to ensure rapid value creation, industry-standard product development, quality, and security.

A well-constructed cloud foundation is critical for organizations that want to take advantage of the cloud. It provides the necessary structure and governance to effectively manage cloud resources, comply with security standards and optimize costs. Without a solid cloud foundation, there is a risk of security breaches, uncontrolled spending and inefficient use of cloud resources.
