KASTERVO Cloud BlogBlog

In this blog post, we will explore the streamlined process KASTERVO follows to migrate client workloads to our Virtual Private Cloud (KVPC) while enabling a robust hybrid cloud architecture. Our approach emphasizes efficiency, collaboration, and customization to meet each client’s unique requirements.

Environment Assessment and Scope Definition

The migration journey begins with a thorough assessment of the client’s existing infrastructure and business needs. Our team collaborates closely with the client, conducting site visits and in-depth discussions to fully understand their operational requirements, technical dependencies, and long-term goals. This phase ensures that the proposed solution is tailored to align seamlessly with the client’s objectives.

On-Premises VPN Concentrator for Hybrid Connectivity

For clients operating in a hybrid model or maintaining on-premises infrastructure, seamless access to cloud resources is paramount. We enable direct, secure connectivity between the client’s on-premises network and the KVPC.

This is achieved through a Site-to-Site Layer 2 VPN connection, which offers:

• Secure authentication mechanisms for cloud resources.
• Uninterrupted access to cloud resources without requiring manual VPN activation from office devices.
• A foundation for consistent hybrid cloud operations.

This solution allows clients to integrate their on-premises and cloud environments with minimal disruption, ensuring smooth operations during and after migration.

KASTERVO Virtual Private Cloud (KVPC) Deployment

A KASTERVO Virtual Private Cloud is designed to deliver a secure, scalable, and customizable cloud environment tailored to the client’s needs.

Each KVPC deployment includes:

• A Cloud-Managed Firewall: Clients have full control over firewall configurations to enhance security and manage network traffic effectively.
• Compute Instances: At least one KASTERVO Compute Instance is provisioned to support the client’s workloads.

A typical KVPC setup for ERP deployments comprises:

• Firewall and Security Gateway: Ensures robust network security.
• Domain Controller: Manages user access and network policies.
• Application Server: Hosts critical business applications.
• Database Server: Supports ERP and other data-intensive operations.

This architecture is both flexible and resilient, making it an ideal choice for businesses transitioning to the cloud.

Workload Migration and Functional Testing

Once the KVPC is deployed, we transition client workloads in a carefully planned and executed process. Our engineers work in close collaboration with the client’s IT and ERP teams to:

• Conduct functional and performance tests to validate the KVPC setup.
• Ensure data integrity during migration.
• Provide continuous support for testing and troubleshooting.

By adopting a phased migration strategy, we minimize downtime and ensure a smooth transition for all critical workloads.

Direct On-Site Connectivity with KVPC

To establish the Site-to-Site connection, our engineers often visit the client’s premises. This hands-on approach ensures:

• Proper configuration and optimization of the VPN concentrator.
• Seamless integration of the client’s on-premises network with the KVPC.
• Validation of connectivity and performance metrics.

This final step solidifies the hybrid cloud model, enabling the client to access their cloud resources as if they were part of their local network.

Conclusion

At KASTERVO, we are committed to providing a seamless, secure, and scalable migration process for businesses seeking to embrace cloud technologies. Our hybrid cloud solutions empower clients to harness the flexibility of the cloud while retaining control over their on-premises systems.
