Stemcell Technologies

After the evaluation phase, Onica was able to define best practices and policies for implementing and maintaining the AWS infrastructure and design a network architecture that would satisfy the organization’s requirements for security, access policies and further growth. Using CloudFormation, Onica was able to automate the network infrastructure and backend services like databases, allowing Stemcell to deploy their environment in another region or easily set-up test beds and sandboxes for validating major updates to certain services. On top of that, Onica helped componentize the architecture and decouple configuration like firewall setup in the various CloudFormation templates, allowing the organization to version their configuration and easily roll new updates or rollback changes to the network stack.

Once the hybrid environment was established, Onica further helped in implementing various development, testing and production stacks for the ongoing BI, BPM and other integration or business process improvement initiatives. Stemcell relies on Onica to provide insight and help build a strategy for migrating additional workloads into the AWS environment and continues to work closely with our solution architects to build further plans for taking advantage of the opportunity that AWS has enabled for the organization. Stemcell has recognized early in the process that moving into the cloud requires proper planning, reliance on best practices and architecture effort to ensure the cloud environment can meet their needs and the use of Onica’s expertise with AWS is a key part of their continuous improvement strategy.
