Key benefits

We can help you configure, build and manage an enterprise container platform for your containerised applications to modernise your current deployment technologies.

Orchestration

Container platforms use modern orchestration technologies to deploy distributed applications on-premises, in the cloud and in hybrid environments. This enables new capabilities and use cases that are not present in traditional deployment models that use virtual machines and other enterprise IT tools.

Trust

Container platforms significantly increase reliability by deploying a distributed, fault-tolerant, highly available management plane. In addition, individual application workloads are also deployed in high availability and can scale dynamically based on end-user load to provide a consistent experience.

Recovery

2 | APPLICATION RE-PLATFORM

One of the most common uses of enterprise container platforms is to migrate an existing application or device to Kubernetes. This simplifies the customer installation process, improves reliability, and adds easy-to-configure features such as high availability, disaster recovery and enhanced performance for on-premises and cloud deployments. We have deep experience with all major enterprise container platforms.

Docker Containers

Docker is the leading-edge technology that enables your organization to package your software applications in lightweight images and containers. This simplifies the process of managing, monitoring and deploying applications across a dynamic set of physical and virtual infrastructure, and improves application density, stability, security, repeatability and uptime.

Orchestration with Kubernetes

Modern orchestration platforms like Kubernetes allow organizations to quickly deploy their applications while utilizing significant internal features such as automatic scale-out and automatic recovery. Kubernetes on cloud and on-premises provides a robust framework to easily deploy your distributed applications that can adapt to your unique architecture.

Recovery

The new application platform on Kubernetes makes it easier to deliver your products to customers. Combined with infrastructure-as-code and private image registries, automating the entire delivery process, from infrastructure configuration to Kubernetes installation to application deployment, helps you deliver to your customers faster.

3 | INDUSTRY-STANDARD ORCHESTRATION

Kubernetes is the industry standard orchestration technology for containerized workloads. Built on lessons learned from Google's Borg project, Kubernetes can handle any on-premises, cloud and hybrid environment for "Google scale" application deployments.

High Availability

Kubernetes has a resilient and highly available architecture that can maintain application uptime even if the management plane suffers a complete failure. It allows you to deploy your application containers in high availability and scale dynamically with end-user load. When deployed in cloud environments, you can scale workloads and infrastructure.

Enhanced Security

Kubernetes can isolate different containers from applications and other objects while restricting communication flow with fine-grained access controls and policy primitives. Protect your clusters with authentication-based access control, namespaces, and the enhanced security primitives that Docker containers provide by default.

Automatic Recovery

Kubernetes will automatically recover your applications whenever a failure is detected, typically before your APM or monitoring solution can detect the service interruption. Additionally, deploying your application containers in high availability mode means your end users can enjoy uninterrupted service while Kubernetes maintains the health of your applications.

4 | TI OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT

Enterprise container platforms, including Rancher, Azure Kubernetes Service, and Docker Enterprise, simplify the process of managing your distributed workloads deployed via Kubernetes. From integrated logging and monitoring to trailer and federation auditing, we help IT teams optimize their management capabilities.

Federation

Federation allows you to manage multiple Kubernetes enterprise clusters from a single pane of glass. Regardless of whether some are on-premises, others are cloud and even hybrid or peripheral environments. This provides a significant advantage and makes it easier for your IT team to manage applications deployed across multiple clusters and/or datacenters.

Logging / Monitoring

Container platforms enable your team to capture enhanced logging and monitoring data to provide more insight into how your applications are performing in real time. Your IT staff will be the first to know when individual applications are automatically recovering from failure or scaling up due to increased end-user demand.

AUDIT

Cloud expenses are one of the biggest barriers to full adoption. When organizations migrate to the cloud, GWCloud helps them optimize their architecture and deploys key capabilities to dynamically scale when needed, and utilize resources to minimize costs when appropriate. This can provide a return on investment almost immediately.
