ORCHESTRATION/
MICROSERVICES

Efficiency, agility and acceleration via containers is smart business—but is it really the right move?


ORCHESTRATION/MICROSERVICES




Moving to a new application architecture to enable DevOps culture and leverage heterogeneous Cloud technologies means making some changes around existing practices, technologies/tools and even retraining people. IGNW is one of a very few organizations that is certified and qualified to help clients with this journey. Not all microservices are created equal, and there are ways to tackle your own individual approach. IGNW has deep practices around Microservices, Containers and even Serverless architectures.

  • Modernizing Traditional Applications (MTA)
    IGNW is a Docker Certified ACP partner and can help you strategize on your CaaS or PaaS environment and which is best suited for your particular applications and workloads.
  • Application Orchestration
    What’s the best way to manage and move your workloads and tool up your processes for the ultimate speed and agility? IGNW has answers for you.
  • Docker / Docker EE / Docker Data Center
    The “Gold Standard” in CaaS, IGNW can help you decide if a supported or non-supported Docker environment (or even something else) is the right move for your organization long term.
  • Kubernetes/ K8S Services
    Sometimes it’s better to buy, and sometimes better to build, but having a deep core understanding of the container and its orchestration is critical. Many PaaS “resellers” don’t understand how the technology works fundamentally, leading clients down a path that either locks them in, or locks them up. IGNW engineers have deployed just about as much Kubernetes as anyone, and can help you sort out your best play.

FULL STACK
AUTOMATION

Pervasive automation from your network to the cloud is a critical input to outflank your competition...


FULL STACK AUTOMATION




As the shift to hybrid-cloud environments increases, adopting full-stack automation for DevOps and production workloads can greatly increase agility and speed. Today, organizations need the flexibility to dynamically move workloads from on- and off-premises environments without requiring changes to applications, automatically, depending on many different parameters. Sometimes the Public cloud is the way to go, other times the very same workloads are best suited onsite. Through full-stack automation IGNW can help create, deploy and scale your applications, with less complexity.

Workload Provisioned Infrastructure
Why think about it? Let your workload build its own infrastructure when it needs it, then automatically tear down after the workload has run, saving you thousands of dollar in recurring costs for forgotten or stranded workloads. Your cloud provider will never tell you this is possible!

Dynamic Workload Allocation/Hybrid Management Imagine letting your Software Make the Right Resource Decisions in Real Time- your systems know when its best to deploy in the cloud or on prem, depending on factors such as cloud spend, contract limits, performance requirements, or even network speed…it's possible right now!

DEVOPS AS A
SERVICE

IGNW can roll with the changes and manage your IaC environment no matter what the market throws at you, for less money and more effectively than most overworked IT organizations.
  • Supported CI/CD pipelines
    Managing large sets of ever evolving tools is one of the single largest challenges for DevOps teams, and sucks up tremendous time and resources. IGNW can help by managing a set of rational tools that support your entire pipeline.
