Why migrate to the public cloud?

  • Scalability & flexibility: Scale resources up or down based on demand without capital investment
  • Cost optimization: Transform CAPEX into predictable OPEX with pay-as-you-go models
  • Global reach: Deploy applications closer to your users with worldwide datacenter availability
  • Innovation acceleration: Access cutting-edge services (AI/ML, analytics, IoT) without infrastructure overhead
  • Business continuity: Leverage built-in redundancy and disaster recovery capabilities
  • Security & compliance: Benefit from enterprise-grade security and compliance certifications
OFEP's cloud migration approach

Strategic foundation: landing zones

Before migrating any workload, establishing a solid foundation is critical. OFEP designs and implements cloud landing zones that provide architectural consistency, security by design, governance frameworks, and scalable structures following AWS Well-Architected Framework and Azure Cloud Adoption Framework principles. A properly designed landing zone ensures that every application migrated to the cloud follows consistent patterns, reducing complexity and operational overhead while maintaining security and compliance.

Smart encryption strategy

Data protection is paramount in cloud environments. OFEP implements encryption strategies that balance security with operational efficiency, leveraging AWS KMS (Key Management Service) or Azure Key Vault for centralized key management, encryption at rest and in transit, automated key lifecycle management, and compliance alignment with regulatory requirements (GDPR, PCI-DSS, etc.) while optimizing performance.

FinOps:

Cost optimization as a core principle ​

Cloud costs can quickly spiral out of control without proper governance. OFEP embeds FinOps (Financial Operations) principles throughout the cloud journey with detailed cost visibility through tagging strategies, continuous right-sizing analysis, strategic use of reserved capacity, waste elimination, budget controls with automated alerts, and regular reviews to reduce monthly bills. Our FinOps approach ensures you benefit from cloud economics without sacrificing performance or availability.

Hybrid infrastructure integration

Many organizations require a hybrid approach, maintaining some on-premises infrastructure while leveraging cloud benefits. OFEP specializes in seamless hybrid architectures with AWS Direct Connect or Azure ExpressRoute for dedicated high-speed connections, split DNS configuration for unified name resolution, Office 365 integration with seamless connectivity and identity federation, centralized authentication with single sign-on (SSO) for cloud engineering teams, VPN gateways and site-to-site connectivity, and workload mobility between environments.

Cloud-native and third-party tooling

OFEP leverages the best tools for each scenario, prioritizing cloud-native managed services (RDS, Lambda, Azure SQL, Functions) to reduce operational burden, using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM templates), implementing container orchestration with EKS, AKS, Docker, and Kubernetes, deploying comprehensive monitoring with CloudWatch, Azure Monitor or Prometheus/Grafana, integrating security tools like AWS Security Hub and Azure Security Center, and establishing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or AWS CodePipeline. We select the right tool based on functionality, cost, and operational fit.
