What We Cover?

Our Solution

Platingnum provides Enterprize-scale Azure Landing Zone solutions to perform cloud migration efficiently. 

 

Step 1: Planning

During the planning phase, we will do assessment and discovery while collaborating with your team. When analyzing landing zone deployment choices, our discussions with clients and partners help us appreciate that businesses may be at different phases of their cloud journey.

Network Topology & Connectivity

Decisions on networking and connectivity are the crucial core part of any cloud design. In this area of design, we will focus on important design issues for network topology and hybrid connection architecture.

Identity and Access Management

In Identity and access management, we will highlight cloud identity strategy planning, with an emphasis on authentication and authorisation, hybrid identity strategy, and identity integration.

EA Enrollment & Azure AD Tenants

In this area of the design, we will help to establish the business’s commercial relations with Microsoft as well as how an organisation controls billing estate.

Management Group and Subscription Organization

Considerations for subscription design and management group hierarchy are crucial and have an influence on governance, operations management, and adoption patterns as cloud adoption scales.

Management and Monitoring

In this design area, we will focus on enhancing Azure digital estate administration through centralised management and monitoring to offer visibility, compliance, and protection for continuous cloud operations.

BCDR, Security, and Governance

In this area design, we will focus on improving the availability of cloud applications by utilising Azure native high availability, application and data recoverability, and disaster recovery (DR) features.

Platform Automation and DevOps

In this design area, we will help enterprises by recommending the DevOps method with their deployment and release management requirements utilizing a continuous integration/continuous delivery strategy.

Step 2: Implementation

During the initial planning and projecting phase, we will collaborate with your team in a one-day workshop to carry out assessment and discovery. 

 

Deployment and Guidance

We will conduct weekly meetings to establish the progress of deployment and help the organizational team in the execution. We ensure that the landing zone is implemented and well documented.

Finishing

We will assist with the deployment of the management hierarchy and Azure Landing Zones deployment by developing an Azure DevOps pipeline to assure governance, security, and policy requirements.

Turnkey

Platingnum specialises in collaborating with organisations to guarantee that the Landing Zone topology is properly built and the right approach has been implemented.

Step 3: Management

Platingnum helps to manage your azure landing zones after deployment. We will help you guide technical efforts, in alignment with the business strategy. We will provide you ongoing management for the following points: 

 

Azure Policy Monitoring

Platingnum will review the Azure Policy Compliance on monthly basis to ensure the technical changes required across multiple workloads.

Azure Advisor Monitoring

We analyze your configuration, and usage telemetry and offer personalized recommendations to optimize your Azure resources for reliability, security, performance, and cost.

Azure Landing Zone Implementation: 2-Weeks Implementation

An expedited, best-practice Azure deployment that provides a set of personalised blueprints for automating the deployment of guardrails and supporting services following the Cloud Adoption Framework.

Our solution has the advantage of allowing you to quickly get started with Azure without having to develop the Azure infrastructure from the ground up. The landing zone is built to grow with your Azure practice.

After the work is completed, you will have an Azure environment suited for operating business applications, whether they are migrated from current on-premises settings or new cloud apps.

  • Azure network – Azure Virtual Networks uses a hub-spoke design to allow migration/deployment of shared services and application-specific workloads,
  • Security – Azure native resources are used to offer a secure landing zone environment
  • Governance – Best practices for Azure subscription settings, Azure AD, role-based access restrictions, resource building policies, and cost management
  • Monitoring – Configure monitoring, analytics, and alerting for cloud-native infrastructure. ​
  • Backup and recovery – Setup Backup and recovery services before workload migration/deployment.​
  • Use of Infrastructure as Code – Our method is heavily reliant on automation.
