EXPERTISE · INFRASTRUCTURE & CLOUD

Production readiness starts
at the design stage.

Sovereign private cloud, high availability, containers and automation: infrastructure that handles the load and stays under your control.

WHY IT’S CRITICAL

Your data stays on your soil, under your control. Your services stay available when your customers need them.

Instant payments run 24 hours a day. If the infrastructure can’t keep up, every outage is a direct loss. We design sovereign, highly available infrastructure, in your data centres or with a local hosting provider.

With the automation that lets you go from two to twenty services without growing the team tenfold.

THE CHALLENGES

What we
often hear.

Critical services on a single server

If it goes down, digital revenue stops.

Manual operations

Configurations drifting between acceptance testing and production, human error at every update.

Sovereignty requirements

Banking and public data that must remain local and under control.

WHAT WE DO

What we
take on.

Services that combine to fit your context, from scoping to operations.

Sovereign private cloud

Virtualisation and private cloud in your data centres.

  • Proxmox VE, OpenStack, VMware
  • Multi-site

High availability

Load balancing, replication, automatic failover.

  • HAProxy, MariaDB Galera, PostgreSQL HA
  • Dual data centre

Containers and Kubernetes

Container platforms for modern applications.

  • Kubernetes, Helm, Harbor
  • GitOps with ArgoCD

Infrastructure as code

Reproducible deployments, provisioning and inventory.

  • Ansible, Terraform, Foreman
  • GLPI, phpIPAM

Fleet and patch management

Centralised management of servers and security patches.

  • Red Hat Satellite
  • Fleet compliance

Migration and modernisation

A migration path with no service interruption.

  • Cutover plan
  • Rollback planned

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What we’re
often asked.

Public or private cloud?

We start from your regulatory, cost and skills constraints. For banking and public data, we favour sovereign, controlled solutions.

High availability or backup?

Both — one does not replace the other. High availability prevents outages your customers would notice; backup lets you restore after an incident.

Who runs it after go-live?

Your teams, with our support, or Synelia as part of managed services with defined service commitments.
