Safe & controlled to the cloud

The organisation expects IT to be flexible, agile and responsive to changing needs. Dependence on IT is increasing and IT itself is becoming more complex. Because of a fragmented IT landscape, which is more difficult to manage and secure, due to an ever-increasing range of services and products but also the rapid development of new technologies. All these factors prevent companies and their employees from working more efficiently within clear structures and deprive them of the opportunity to focus fully on core business. It also prevents them from innovating, something that is actually essential for survival these days.

PQR helps companies take the steps to the cloud securely and in a controlled manner, at their own pace. With SpaceHub, PQR offers a modular hybrid multi cloud platform for consulting, implementation and management of modern workspace and data center solutions.

SpaceHub is vendor agnostic, that way we ensure that no one becomes dependent on a single vendor. The PQR CTO Office continuously looks at the best of breed, paying attention to the balance between price and quality.

Challenge

Companies are eager to increase the scalability, capacity, agility and flexibility of their IT environments to be more efficient and have a clearer structure for both data center and workplace environments. Deploying cloud technology as a solution can help in the desired efficiency and structure. Cloud offers flexibility and agility, as resources can be purchased on-demand and on a pay-per-use basis . Cloud also offers the possibility of outsourcing some of the management to the cloud provider by purchasing services as-a-service. This significantly simplifies management. Often, though, with the note that existing legacy services and environments can also continue to function within this.

Chances are that, in choosing a cloud strategy, companies are caught in a split. So how should they choose a hybrid strategy, where they can both leverage the benefits of cloud environments and safeguard their legacy environments? Which cloud is best suited for our organisation, Private Cloud or Public Cloud? Which provider should we choose? Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services? What services do we need? How do we migrate to the cloud? How do we set up management? And how do we ensure that we stay in control and continue to get the most out of the cloud?

Approach

1.

During the Assessment Phase, we map out the current environment and collaboratively determine the requirements for key topics such as availability and security for your workloads, applications, and infrastructure.

Next, the design phase begins, during which we determine the design and cloud architecture. We also create a transition roadmap with subprojects, taking into account your priorities, quick wins, and the change capacity of your organization.

In the transition phase, we build your new IT environment according to our proven project approach. From the start of this phase, we take full control of your infrastructure and gradually move workloads to the cloud. We also immediately implement optimizations so that the environment is cost-efficient and manageable from day one.

Modular hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure

We help clients with complex transformations of their IT. For this purpose, we developed SpaceHub. SpaceHub offers a modular hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure, complemented by transition and management services. This ensures that not only does your transition to the cloud go smoothly, but also that your infrastructure continues to function optimally after this so that your employees can work comfortably.

Legacy solutions

Within SpaceHub, there is also a role for existing legacy environments. After all, for many companies, saying goodbye to their (on-premises) legacy infrastructure and solutions is not yet feasible because certain applications or workloads cannot or are not allowed in the cloud due to laws and regulations. PQR fully integrates these legacy solutions, including the applications, within SpaceHub and uses its years of experience to ensure that everything is interoperable with each other.

Innovative and independent

SpaceHub is your hub to the cloud, taking away the complexity for you. Through the hub, we continuously unlock new innovative services, which you can purchase as part of SpaceHub. The SpaceHub solution is vendor- and cloud-independent, offering you a solution that is always best suited to your specific needs. With SpaceHub services, we relieve you throughout the entire lifecycle of your IT infrastructure.
