This article is all about Cloud - Offerings, Cloud Foundation and types of Cloud Foundation, 3D Execution Model. Let's get started.
Cloud Offerings:
Strategy (Cloud Counsel): Cloud discovery assessments and recommendations.
Foundation (Cloud Mason): 3D model to read enterprise cloud platform.
Migration (Cloud Migration Factory): Enable mass migration of infrastructure, application database and End-user workspaces to cloud.
Re-Imagination (Cloud Pinnacle): Niche PaaS Platform and related Services.
Operation (Cloud Exponence): Delivers multiple managed public cloud environments across Geographic’s in shared/dedicated services model.
Mason Cloud Foundation:
We have a mason cloud foundation framework called SAVIOUR which works with services/towers.
Where S stands for Scale, A stands for Agile, V stands for Vigil, I stands for Immune, O stands for Open, U stands for Unify and R stands for Reach. These are all comes under service groups. Where each of service group comes with Base services and with it’s native features.
Types of Mason Cloud Foundation:
Basically, there are two types or flavours of Cloud Foundations.
Basic: which is Ground Floor Service used only on any one of the cloud service provider with the use of native features. Usually, it will take 6-13 weeks to build the infrastructure.
Advanced: can be used with multiple cloud service providers and with third-party providers. Usually, it will take 14-26 weeks or even more than the expected duration to build the infrastructure.
Cloud Mason 3D Execution Model
3D’s stands for define, design and deploy. Use of Agile or Waterfall model which requires network structures, business unit structures cloud strategy, security and compliance requirements and to get comprehensive design.
Phases of Cloud Mason Foundation
Define: Requirement gatherings from existing on-premises and setting up suitability assessments.
Design: High Level Design(HLD) and Low Level Design(LLD).
Deploy: Build Block| Run Book, Implementation scripts and SOP documents.
