One of our customers runs a large Azure data center that works with Personal Health Information ( PHI). Before the client contacted us, many of their servers have been running on legacy OS and the overall infrastructure was rather disorganized. The Company’s management was concerned about potential security holes and requested to conduct a thorough security audit. Before contacting ABCloudz, the Company’s IT staff had been aware of potential security gaps in their infrastructure. For example, their data infrastructure included […]

Recently, the ABCloudz team migrated a customer’s database from Apache Cassandra to Amazon DynamoDB. As part of this project, we needed to run multiple tests to ensure perfect quality for our delivery. However, we faced a problem in setting up the test environment. Even though we were using AWS CloudFormation templates for the EC2 instances, it was taking over 30 mins to get the dev/test environment setup. In addition, our developers couldn’t run parallel regression testing. So, we decided to leverage Docker to automate the environment set up.
In this blog post, we will share our experience with using Docker for automating a NoSQL database migration dev/test environment.

Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI) is a highly-efficient Azure service that allows combining the broadest SQL Server database compatibility with numerous benefits of a fully managed PaaS (Platform as a Service). MI provides a much higher degree of capability than Azure SQL Database DTU and vCore service levels. Read this blog post to know the main reasons and implications of migrating to Azure SQL MI. Also, get to know how ABCloudz specialists can help you migrate quickly and efficiently. Why […]

One of our clients, a major health company, was operating a data system. Over the years, it had expanded dramatically. However, the client had never developed a comprehensive modernization strategy for their product. As a result, they ended up with a highly outdated and inefficient environment overloaded with thousands of Microsoft Access and SQL Server databases. The use of such an outdated system was associated with numerous performance, security, manageability, and scalability risks. In addition, there were frequent database corruptions. […]
