Case Study: Hybrid Cloud
Connectivity in IBM Cloud

Challenges Faced

Challenge 1: Networking Architecture

Organizing and establishing a well-defined vlan and sub network infrastructure on premises that could be easily and efficiently scaled and incorporated into a public cloud.

Challenge 2: Sizing of workloads

Establishing adequate sizing of workloads in order to determine which workloads stayed on-premise and which workloads were more adequate to be migrated to the public cloud.

Challenge 3: Security and patient information privacy

GELA patients needed to be guaranteed privacy and seamless connectivity between their private and public clouds under every possible work protocol.

Solution Provided

We at ne Digital, an IBM Advanced Business Partner, had already had established a VMware high availability cluster in place for GELA and in the network of data centers for IBM Bluemix. The next step was only natural - a small but powerful solution of PureApplication Software that is able to deploy and maintain basic patterns required to support online mobile applications for patients and physicians.
