DevOps Experts
We live and breathe automation and DevOps methodologies to automate delivery and maintenance of cloud solutions, and aim to deliver the most cost effective and efficient solutions to our customers.
Cloud Needs Analysis
We will work with you to analyse and assess your cloud needs compared to your current state as to make sure the solution we propose is most suited to your requirements. We will identify and incorporate your stakeholder's requirements into any solution and are happy to conduct any level of discussion, interviews, surveys or workshops to develop the buy-in and address any concerns about operating in the cloud that stakeholders may have.
Feasibility Studies
We can determine the feasibility of movement to the cloud and come up with a proposal which highlights our recommendations, alongside a proposed roadmap for cloud migration and implementation. We will do everything we can to ensure a smooth transition to the cloud.
Cost Optimisation
IB Boost can help you lower costs both with platform and technology choice and service re-engineering to take advantage of features of every cloud platform.
We have a decade's experience of assessing and reimplementing services incorporating complex cloud pricing regimes into decisions and can augment or own these processes in large projects.
Solution Design
IB Boost can help design the architecture for cloud solutions using the latest, best-of-breed tooling and strategies using our expertise in cloud development and automation.
Platform
From a cloud platform perspective, we have extensive experience working with Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform, and UKCloud, and can advise your organisation or team on the most appropriate solution based on your short and long-term needs and budget. Data security and integrity checking services can advise on the appropriate application architecture to ensure government regulations are met.
Cloud Readiness
We can help reorganise existing applications and make them cloud-ready, including advising and implementing virtualisation (VMWare, Hyper-V, VirtualBox, Xen, etc.) and containerisation (OCI, Docker, LXC, Solaris Zones, etc.), as well as the orchestration and configuration of such services (Ansible, Chef, Puppet, Capistrano, etc.).
