Moving a system to the cloud in the European Union or running it in your server room, with an automated path for changes and a view of how the system is working.
See the serviceDeployments in the client's infrastructure
A system running on your company's servers or on rented servers in Poland, handed over to the IT department with documentation and an update path that does not interrupt work.
Scope
What clients come to us with
A customer contract rules out the cloud
A large customer has signed a contract with you under which its data must remain on servers under your control. The system contractor proposes the cloud, because that is how it builds everything. You need someone who will run the system where the contract allows and document it accordingly.
There is a server room, but nobody knows what it can handle
The company has its own server room with servers bought for the previous system. The IT department looks after e-mail, the network and printers. Nobody knows whether the current hardware can carry the new system, how much space it will take up in a year, or what happens when a server breaks down.
The group requires the system to sit in Poland
The company belongs to a group whose policy specifies where servers may stand and who may access them. The public cloud does not pass the approval procedure, or takes too long to pass it. The board wants to meet the deadline and chooses rented servers in a data centre in Poland.
Scope
What we do
An in-house server room is a room in your building with servers, backup power and cooling, for which your IT department is responsible. Servers rented in a data centre stand on the operator's premises; your company has exclusive access to them and decides what runs on them. Both options keep the data in a specified place; they differ in who looks after power, cooling and replacing a failed disk.
A few things must be in place before the system starts. Servers with processing power and disk capacity matched to the number of users and the volume of data, with headroom for growth. A network, meaning the connection between the servers, workstations and branches. Backups, with a second copy in another location and a person who checks that the system can be restored from them. Backup power to keep the servers running until they can be shut down safely. A person in your IT team who will take over the system. We write the hardware requirements; the purchase stays on your side.
We install the system in containers: packages that hold a program with everything it needs, so that it starts the same way on any server. Alongside it we set up a test environment: a copy of the system on which we check every change before it reaches the departments. We roll out updates without interrupting work: we start the new version alongside the old one, switch users over to it, and keep the old one ready to roll back to. We record every installation step as a script, an instruction the computer carries out on its own, so the installation can be repeated on a second server or after a failure.
A hybrid setup makes sense when the restriction covers only the data and leaves the rest of the system free. The data and the core of the system then stay on your servers. Whatever does not touch protected data runs in the cloud: a test environment on sample data, or sending notifications. The boundary is set by the contract or the regulation. Designing the cloud part in the European Union, moving a system that runs in the cloud today, and protecting the network and servers against attack are separate scopes.
The result is a system in your environment, its description and the scripts to repeat the installation.
Scope
What you get
- A list of environment requirements: servers, disks, network, backups and backup power, written so that a hardware supplier can price it without follow-up questions.
- The system running on your servers or on servers rented in a data centre in Poland, with a test environment alongside.
- Installation and update scripts with which your IT department can repeat every step without us.
- An environment description: what runs on which server, where the data and copies sit, who has access, and how a new version is rolled out.
- A handover plan dividing the tasks between your IT department and us.
Scope
How the work runs
- We review your environment. We check the server room or the data centre contract, the servers, network, backups and power, as well as the contract and policy clauses that rule out the cloud. Result: a list of gaps to fill before installation and a decision on whether part of the system can run in the cloud.
- We prepare the environment. We write the hardware requirements, agree access and work schedules with your IT team, and set up the test environment. Result: servers ready for the system and installation scripts tested in the test environment.
- We install and launch. First in the test environment, then on the target servers for a selected group of users, and finally for everyone. Result: the system runs on your servers, and the first update has gone through the path without interrupting work.
- We hand over to the IT department. With your IT contact we go through the environment description, the scripts and restoring the system from backup. Result: the IT department runs the system on its own or with us, as the contract specifies.
Scope
Questions the board should ask the contractor
- Which clauses in our contracts, policies or regulations rule out the cloud, and did the contractor read them before choosing the location?
- What do we need to buy or rent before launch, and who is responsible if the hardware turns out to be too weak?
- How is a new version of the system rolled out: do departments have to stop work, and how is a change that did not work rolled back?
- Where is the second copy of the data, who checks that the system can be restored from it, and how often?
- After handover, will our IT department be able to reinstall the system from scratch without the contractor, and from which document?
- Which parts of the system could run in the cloud without breaching our restrictions, and what would the company gain from it?
Which restrictions apply to your company and what can be reused from your current server room is established by the analysis of the process and environment that we start with.

Cloud architecture in the European Union
A design for your system in the cloud with data in the European Union: provider services, access, backups and a monthly bill estimated before launch, readable for the board and for IT.
See the scopeMoving systems between environments
Your system moved from a server room to the cloud, between clouds or back to your own servers, with the switchover at an agreed moment, a rollback plan and the old environment shut down.
See the scopeInfrastructure security
Your company's servers, network and systems secured at the technical level: access put in order, backups proven by restoring them, encryption, event monitoring and a rehearsed plan for failures and incidents.
