Cloud Foundation

With Cloud Foundation, you lay the foundation for the automated and secure operation of applications in the cloud. This enables you to quickly and easily scale an enterprise-wide cloud infrastructure based on best practice approaches.

Many companies and business units have looked into cloud IT and created initial facts regarding cloud infrastructure in recent years. On the one hand, this has enabled experience to be gained quickly and pragmatically. Still, on the other hand, it has often resulted in cloud IT growing up in the shadow of corporate IT, which only sometimes meets corporate requirements. Now the trial and error phase in terms of managed cloud is over. Enterprises want to deploy cloud IT in a sustainable and value-driven way that meets business objectives. It should meet the security and governance requirements of the business, run reliably and be able to scale across the enterprise.

By building a Cloud Foundation, Arvato Systems offers both companies already running workloads in the cloud and newcomers the proper foundation for scaling and securing enterprise cloud IT. This is done across multiple design domains, single, hybrid or multi-cloud. Arvato Systems delivers a cloud foundation based on best practices and constantly evolving in line with the cloud adoption frameworks of hyperscalers, comprising the service elements Monitoring & Management, Identity & Access, Network & Connectivity, Security & Governance. All components of the Cloud Foundation are developed as Infrastructure as Code to ensure rapid value creation, industry-standard product development, quality, and security.

The Cloud Foundation centrally regulates the framework parameters necessary for secure and efficient scaling of cloud IT according to best practices and customer needs. To this end, four performance elements are considered, in which setting decisions are made on fundamental parameters. On this basis, the solution architecture is configured and set up organizationally and technically.
