Distributed computing environments are nothing new. That doesn’t make them any less complicated. Quite the opposite. Building and maintaining a series of microservices based on containers or virtual machines is going to be challenging. Especially in the context of multi-cloud.
Pegasus works with and advises organizations looking to begin, accelerate or optimize their microservices and cloud journeys. With deep experience across all major public and private cloud providers and years of developing distributed enterprise applications, Pegasus is the enterprise and vendor partner of choice.
Pegasus Cloud Professional Services deliver consulting and guidance by experts to organizations seeking to leverage the cloud effectively. Pegasus services enable organizations and teams to make informed decisions about adopting, implementing, and optimizing cloud solutions to meet their specific needs and enable organizations to navigate the complexities of cloud adoption, reduce risks, and ensure that their transition to the cloud aligns with their business objectives.
Rheinhütte Pumpen, headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany, has over 160 years of experience in designing and manufacturing specialized pumps for handling corrosive, abrasive, and high-temperature media. Serving industries such as chemicals, mining, renewable energy, and refineries, their products include pumps for sulfuric acid, molten sulfur, and chlorine-alkali electrolysis. Acquired by ITT Inc. in 2019, Rheinhütte Pumpen has expanded ITT’s capabilities in the industrial process sector, particularly in Europe, by leveraging its extensive expertise and diverse pump range
Rheinhütte Pumpen, needed a comprehensive analysis of their IT infrastructure and cloud ecosystem to prepare for a company acquisition and for that reason to decouple from their parent company. There were many legacy systems and home grown applications with no documentation running on their IT systems. Some required both hardware and software updates and upgrades, and became dated and without support. The separation and/or duplication of services, software and hardware were serious security and functionality issues that needed to be taken into consideration during the transition.
The team conducted a high-level analysis, focusing on critical systems like Active Directory, Exchange, SAP, and bespoke applications unique to the business. We conducted an ‘as is’ and ‘to be’ analysis of their systems so that a plan of action could be drawn up :
Pegasus delivered a robust audit and report that clearly articulated where they were and what needed to happen for the transition to occur as seamlessly as possible.
Pegasus team advocated a staged migration and paced modernization strategy. We advised starting by segmenting the network and building new servers for Rheinhütte, followed by migration and validation of shared resources.
Furthermore, Pegasus underscored the importance of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance throughout the migration process. They also brought attention to potential complications related to intellectual property, particularly concerning bespoke applications unique to the organization. Pegasus subsequently implemented the report’s findings and successfully separated the two companies.
Takeways: This case study showcases Pegasus Consultancy Services’ methodical approach in tackling a complex IT infrastructure analysis, whether physical, virtual and their application architecture, demonstrating their ability to understand their dependencies and challenges associated with legacy systems and the separation of intertwined IT services.
The client is an international mining company. They were operating a high-profile mining operation in a remote, undeveloped area in Africa with difficult, mountainous terrain. In addition to the challenges of constructing and operating a mine, they had the complications of establishing the required infrastructure, including roads, a port, a railway, and utility delivery.
Risk mitigation was at the forefront of our design. We identified that an international team operating in a variety of environments—including often on site with little bandwidth—needed a highly configurable, easy-to-use, web based solution. They needed something bespoke that could work with their specialized software. Our first step was to implement an online version of Clockworx that could facilitate delivery of the compliance management system. This aided in creating business process models that gave the client a clear view of possible workflows. After importing the restructured databases, we configured Clockworx to accommodate all myriad obligations. Our cloud-based workstation and mobile platform included the ability to allow users to work in their own language, record actions assigned to users to provide accountability, and automate escalation of issues up the chain of command. Clockworx also manages project auditing through task alerts, linking project documentation, and recording changes to data entries.
We’d love to hear from you and understand how we can help.
