Implementation
All set for a successful launch
To achieve a successful implementation and deployment of a hosting solution, building, testing, implementation, acceptance and transfer to production needs to be done in an organized and careful manner. On the basis of a clear and solid plan, we set all timelines and milestones and configure your systems.

Build
Stability, security and manageability.
Before a platform can be put into production and data be migrated, it must, of course, be built first. The infrastructure needs to be set up; servers must be created and configured. To allow as efficient management as possible, we use standardised software that has been extensively tested for reliability, stability and security wherever possible.
While building, we take into account all the requirements as written in technical and functional design including:
Netwerk, VLANs and VPNs
We reserve the required IP addresses and ranges; we configure subnets, VLANs and VPNs.
Server resources and partitioning
For every system in your platform, the required resources are allocated and servers are deployed based on their roles and specifications.
Operating systems and versions
Every server is configured with the desired version of the operating system and all current updates and patches.
Other software, applications and databases
All software required for your server functions is installed according to the specifications in the design.
Retention and rotation of logfiles, back-ups
For the safety and security of your services, your data should be archived safely. We configure an effective solution.
Users and access
For both personal and system accounts, we perform the required configuration.
When these and other tasks have been completed, we can start with the actual configuration, staging and migration of data.
Deploy
100% assurance before going live.
Before a new platform or application is put into production, several things need be have been carefully prepared in advance. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it is crucial that everything works, performs well and has been tested and checked before going live.
Customizing configuration
To make optimal use of all resources and allow your services to perform as well as possible, configurations are customized for the behavior of the application.
Access and security
User accounts are created, keys are distributed, certificates installed and the security is tested is its entirety.
Data migration
Your data is placed in the right location. Testing is done to ensure correct functionality and good performance. Version management is installed and tested.
Monitoring
All important monitoring is set up and verified as previously agreed upon.
Testing and staging
When everything is set up as agreed upon, we ensure all stakeholders check everything for correct operation and performance. We always ensure a sufficient support base and enough confidence is created, both by yourself and by us.
Documentation
Everything clearly documented: that’s reassuring.
To remain in control of your platform, describing it is of great importance. If documentation is missing, there is no solid basis for proper management and maintenance. Only when everything is described completely and correctly, a platform can be deployed and passed over to production. We ensure this process is completed fully to guarantee a safe transition to live.
Procedures and instructions
Work instructions that deal with the platform and the applications are described in detail to prevent mistakes during maintenance and updates.
Technical documentation
All features and configurations of the components of your platforms and networks are made transparent and are updated when changes occur.
Access lists, roles and rights
To ensure the safety of your platform, it is important to know the roles of the different users and the rights and corresponding access they should have. That's why we carefully discuss these subjects with your organization.
