Cloud operations with MaibornWolff
Cloud technologies are about more than just "somehow it's already working". They help to achieve greater flexibility, scalability and efficiency - but only if they are managed correctly. Cloud Operations, or CloudOps for short, do just that.
With our CloudOps team, you have everything under control: security, availability and performance, day after day. This keeps your cloud stable, secure and cost-efficient at all times - so you can focus on your business.
Focus on people
Technology is only successful if it suits the people who use it. That's why we always think from the user's perspective
Networked expertise
Our team combines expertise from a wide range of disciplines and decades of experience to develop the best solution for you.
Holistic approach
From the initial idea to ongoing operation, we support you with a well thought-out strategy and implementation.
Individual solutions
Every company is unique - and that's why we design our CloudOps strategies precisely according to your requirements.
DevOps and Cloud Operations - what's the difference?
What are cloud operations?
The term Cloud Operations, or CloudOps for short, covers all processes, tasks and activities that are necessary for the efficient operation of a cloud environment . It includes everything that is necessary for operations: from automation, application, security and monitoring to governance and cost optimization. CloudOps therefore ensures that your cloud infrastructure runs - around the clock.
The big difference to traditional IT operations with IT operations? Your infrastructure is no longer located in your own data center, but in the cloud - with providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, GCP or StackIT. With modern technologies such as Infrastructure-as-Code, Kubernetes and smart monitoring, we ensure that your cloud not only runs, but performs.
Cloud Operations from MaibornWolff - your benefits
Cloud operations bring agility and scalability to your IT - but only if the available resources are used correctly. This is exactly where we come in! We support your IT and business strategy:
We take responsibility for what we build. We continuously operate and develop your cloud infrastructure and applications.
Security and up-to-dateness are our top priorities. We always keep your cloud services up-to-date, close security gaps and optimize performance and scalability.
With our Operations Readiness Check, we check whether your applications are optimally suited for cloud operation - and show you where there is potential for optimization.
We focus on proactive problem prevention instead of reactive troubleshooting. We create an optimal cloud environment through smart monitoring and automation.
We adapt to you. Whether regular operational support or 24/7 2nd and 3rd level support - we adapt to your requirements.

Every customer is different and has individual requirements. That is why we have created a future-proof and scalable system architecture that leaves all options open to us.

Challenges with CloudOps
Setting up a cloud infrastructure is only the first step. The real test begins during operation. Without a well thought-out cloud strategy, cloud operations can quickly become inefficient, expensive or insecure. Companies are faced with several challenges:
-
Unclear operating strategy: Companies often underestimate what it means to operate a cloud environment and have no clear responsibilities or processes.
-
Security and compliance pitfalls: New security and data protection requirements in the cloud, such as GDPR or ISO 27001, must be consistently adhered to.
-
Costs out of control: The cloud is not a sure-fire success. Without continuous monitoring, hidden costs for unused resources can rise quickly.
-
Lack of automation: Manual processes in cloud operations make them susceptible to errors, delays and unnecessary effort.
-
Operational and support gaps: Skills are often lacking or there is no defined support service. Unclear responsibilities and a lack of expertise can lead to expensive failures in an emergency.
Using CloudOps as an opportunity
You can avoid all of this by using CloudOps as an opportunity. With a well thought-out CloudOps strategy, you can optimize costs, minimize security risks and provide new functions more quickly. Automation ensures smooth processes, while smart scaling mechanisms ensure that you always use exactly the resources you need - no more and no less.
At the same time, CloudOps improves collaboration between development and operations so that innovations go into production faster. Companies that use CloudOps strategically benefit from future-proof IT and a flexible infrastructure that grows with their requirements.

Stable, secure and efficient cloud operation doesn't have to remain a pipe dream!
Cloud operations: Our range of services
With a strong team of experts, we support companies on their journey to the cloud - from strategy development to secure and efficient operation. In addition to technical implementation, we also offer strategic advice.
We also offer you an operations readiness check, which checks whether it is possible to operate applications in the cloud. We provide you with an all-round carefree package for your cloud operations. We take care of everything:

Operation & further development
We operate the cloud infrastructure and applications that we have developed for you - in line with the you build it, you run it principle. At the same time, we continuously optimize your cloud.
Update & Security
We always keep your cloud services up to date: security updates, compliance requirements and performance tuning - all from a single source.
Monitoring & automation
Through intelligent monitoring and automated processes, we minimize failures, detect problems at an early stage and ensure a high level of reliability. We rely on infrastructure-as-code or customizable deployment processes, for example.
Flexible support models
Whether regular operational support or 24/7 2nd and 3rd level support - we adapt to your requirements.
Our service models: three solutions for your requirements
We represent a single point of contact for our customers for the systems for which we are responsible.
Appropriate availability and data recovery times are defined jointly and on an application-specific basis.
We offer you two operating models for your requirements.
Cloud operations: Our approach
You have set up a modern cloud infrastructure or done your homework when it comes to migration, but now the question arises: How can the whole thing be operated efficiently, securely and dynamically expandable?
No need to panic! We rely on a well thought-out approach to ensure that your cloud operation does not become a patchwork of unplanned updates, unexpected outages and rising costs.

1. Understanding
Before we get started, we want to understand exactly what your cloud solution needs to be able to do. We clarify your goals in workshops. We then take a close look at your cloud environment. Which workloads run where? What about security and compliance requirements? If necessary, we carry out an operations readiness check to identify optimization potential at an early stage.
2. Structuring
How good is good enough? We clarify this together and define service level agreements (SLAs) for availability, response times and reliability. Monitoring, scaling strategies, automation, compliance and security are firmly integrated - with properly set up patch and security management so that everything remains up-to-date and protected at all times.
3. Operate
Now it's getting technical: we build or convert your cloud architecture, rely on automation with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and set up 24/7 monitoring. Structured incident management ensures rapid responses, while regular performance and cost analyses continuously improve your cloud operations. On request, we also offer 24/7 support at 2nd and 3rd level.
4. Optimize
CloudOps is not a one-off process - it is continuous improvement. Through intelligent automation and analysis, we continuously optimize your cloud operations and ensure that costs, performance and security remain in balance at all times.
