CMC TS and Microsoft suggest the optimal "On Cloud" route for businesses

Cloud Migration - “On Cloud” is a journey

IT systems play an important role in supporting, maintaining and growing your business. The problem for the IT team is how to ensure that current technologies are always ready to meet the increasingly stringent business requirements of the organization. And, for systems that are up to 1x, even 2x old, the solution to the above problem is even harder to find...

Today, the business of the enterprise poses many requirements and demands with the IT system such as data is always available when needed to be retrieved, the system must have a fast response speed, ... At the same time, experience Over a period of operation, IT managers will gradually face problems such as the current system is using an old operating system version and no longer receives support from the company; the technology implemented in the system is outdated; the lease contract for physical infrastructure is about to be re-signed; the system has not been updated with security patches; .... Since then, Cloud Computing technology (Cloud Computing) was born to help organizations and businesses solve the above problems.

According to NIST SP document 800-145, Cloud Computing is a model that allows convenient and on-demand access, from anywhere, to a pool of shared and configured computing resources (e.g.: networks, servers, storage, applications and services). This model can be set up and provisioned quickly without too much configuration or service provider interaction. Cloud Computing offers 03 service models to diversify options for organizations; are Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Moreover, Cloud Computing deployment is done with 04 deployment models: Public Cloud, Private Cloud, Hybrid Cloud and Community Cloud.

That's the benefit, that's the effect. However, not every organization that applies Cloud Computing technology is successful. "Move to Cloud", aka "Up to the Cloud", is not a destination, but a journey.

CMC TS collaborates with Microsoft to bring Azure Cloud-based solutions to organizations and businesses that are having problems with their IT systems. Azure is a Cloud Computing platform built and developed by Microsoft that delivers over 200 different products and services to help organizations solve current challenges and build new solutions, while simultaneously delivering more than 200 different products and services. Supports diverse connectivity to IT infrastructure located in On-Premises or Multi-Cloud environments.

With Azure, organizations' "Go to the Cloud" decision making is easier with technology support from Microsoft. Before choosing to move a specific system "Move to Cloud", CMC TS recommends that organizations perform a Readiness Check of the system, using the Azure Migrate tool developed by Microsoft. provided for free and on their own existing IT environment. Whether the current system is operating using virtualization technology from Microsoft or another company, or even a physical system; Organizations can fully take advantage of this tool as an effective consulting assistant for the transition to the Cloud.

However, building an IT system on the Cloud is not just about initialization and operation. Building a system is like building a house; It is necessary to have design drawings, division of items and specific budget planning. Cloud Landing Zone is the design drawing for the "House in the Clouds" of organizations. With Microsoft technology platform, CMC TS recommends that organizations need to build Azure Landing Zone before deploying services on Azure Cloud. Azure Landing Zone is a Cloud environment with multi-subscription planned for different administrative and operational purposes: Identity Management, Network Connection Management, Security Administration, and Scaling on Demand. demand for use. The Landing Zone is where your organization's workloads are located and supports Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) configuration.

Besides standardizing the system from the initial stage, security is one of the aspects that organizations pay special attention to when placing the system on the Cloud. Microsoft offers a variety of security solutions, serving a variety of customer needs. CMC TS has consulted and successfully implemented these solutions; specifically as:

• Conditional Access policies with different user level, device, location, ... requirements
• Solutions to Secure Network Infrastructure and Connect to IT Systems on Azure
• System log monitoring and management solution combined with proactive action when information security incidents occur
• Security Solutions for Services Built and Deployed on Azure Cloud

CMC TS is currently a Gold partner, a strategic partner of Microsoft's cloud computing service provider (CSP - Cloud Solutions Provider), and an Authorized Partner to provide Microsoft FastTrack services in Vietnam market.

Last year, CMC TS cooperated with Microsoft successfully deployed many IT systems on Azure Cloud platform for customers in various fields such as: Automation, Corporation, Energy and Oil & Gas,... Some outstanding projects can be mentioned such as: Deploying Azure Landing Zone and Defender for Cloud security solution for services on Azure, Deploying SAP on Azure solution,...
