Azure Virtual Data Center
Cloud-based data processing with Braathe Azure Virtual Data Center (AVDC) – The solution for businesses seeking agility and security. With Azure Virtual Data Center, we operate your cloud-based IT infrastructure in the best possible way
The agility the modern workplace needs
Azure Virtual Data Center - a new standard for performance, security and scalability in the cloud.
With Braathe Azure Virtual Data Center gives you access to best-in-class methods and tools for security and compliance. Your business data is secured in the best possible way and with well-established principles.
In addition to security, AVDC offers scaling in accordance with the organization's adopted policy. This makes it easy to handle periods of high traffic or growth, so you can maintain optimal performance at all times. AVCD makes it easy to scale up or down according to the changing needs of the business. You can quickly adapt resources based on traffic, load and business requirements.
AVDC is cost effective; you only pay for the resources you use and get high availability and reliability - with additional options such as redundancy and failover mechanisms.
This is what you get with Azure Virtual Data Center, among other things:
- Azure Landing Zones structure:
- Platform: Identity, management and Connectivity
- Landing Zones: Corp and Online
- Setup for Policies, Management Groups and custom security roles
- Set up network configuration as desired
- Rollout delivered as a package or as part of a project
This gives you a safe and stable presence in Azure, which is based on the Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework and builds the framework for long-term growth in your platform.
Started sniffing Azure?
Have you already started using Azure, or are you in the starting pit? We help you carry out Microsoft's own evaluation of the setup you have today, or your plans. The assessment analyzes IT infrastructure, applications and workloads to map necessary adaptations for migration to Azure or hybrid setups. This gives your business insight into what is required for a successful presence in the cloud.
Through the evaluation, we get to agree on how you approach best practice, and we can advise you throughout the entire process, from the solution you have today to a new existence - with everything in Azure, or in a hybrid setup where you also have some data in our wholly owned, Norwegian data center on Norwegian soil. See more detailed setup this spring concept sketch at the bottom of this page.
Governance, compliance and security
Azure Virtual Data Center draws on learning from experience and provides you with a solution built for the future. Braathe can operate your AVDC efficiently through mapped process patterns, best practice safety modeling and by being up to date on all compliance requirements.
Azure Virtual Data Center is suitable for all sectors, for example:
- Private enterprises
- Enterprise
- Public
Governance, compliance, DevOps and security are fully integrated in AVDC, freeing up your resources for tasks in your core business. This is the modern way to operate your infrastructure. AVDC follows the recommendations from Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework.
Infrastructure as Code, and additional options for AVDC
We adapt the code base to your needs, and the code becomes your property. We can develop the code together with you, in line with the changing needs of your business. AVDC also has a number of possible additional options.
Infrastructure as Code (IAC)
Braathe uses Infrastructure as Code as a platform to deliver and maintain the customer's configurations in Azure.
The code is normally delivered in the form of Azure Bicep Templates, Azure Resource Manager Templates and Powershell Scripts. Microsoft launched the technology "Azure Verified Modules" in February 2024. We will use AVM where appropriate, this ensures viable code over time.
Options and customizations
Some typical options and customizations that can be selected into AVDC:
- Azure Bastion
- Access to the Server console via the Azure Portal
- Decommissioned and Sandbox Landing Zones and associated are for special purposes and are supplied on request
- Azure DDos
- Azure Private DNS provisioned
- Sentinel configuration
- Geo-redundancy and replication of services
Options and special adaptations can entail both fixed and consumption-based costs.
Data and structures you don't want to move to the cloud?
Braathe Hybrid Platform (BHP) offers seamless integration between AVDC and traditional AD or other data/structures you do not want to put in the cloud. By combining local infrastructure with AVDC, you get consistent and secure identity management across local and cloud-based resources.
We build your solution together with you
The freedom and flexibility the modern workplace requires.
It is tempting to say "Yes please, both?«. Sometimes it is also the most correct. Together with our experienced customer advisors, you will find the best solution for your business. Your needs are mapped and understood, and whether they are best covered by AVDC or BHP, or both - yes, we help you find out. These building blocks give us the opportunity to offer you the right degree of self-management, security and the necessary degree of facilitation.
