DevOps Managed Services

The Need

This organization wanted to deploy a development and operating environment that could deliver several crucial benefits in a holistic fashion. The most important of these included:

• Improved cost efficiency for the development and operations of existing applications.

• High levels of application performance for users.

• Data ingestion and consolidation engines for real-time data ingestion and cleansing.

• A documented and repeatable operating platform to provide scale and stability for worldwide operations.

The Maverick Solution

Maverick’s staffing expertise identified the talented and experienced DevOps Engineers capable of seamlessly beginning a migration to a DevOps model supported by a complete cloud stack that included database, cloud infrastructure, middleware, and multiple OS support. More modern technologies were also deployed for DevOps, including containers, Kubernetes, configuration management tools, microservices, and integrated security. The use of new automated tools and platforms delivered a step-function improvement that provided the desired results. Once this environment was live, the DevOps Engineers Maverick supplied worked with the customer to migrate over 200 applications, 100 databases, and more than a petabyte of data.

This platform is used by a combination of on and offshore teams that can work more seamlessly using the new DevOps environment. A key focus of the new agile DevOps environment is to increase the use of automation for every possible activity. This improves the speed and agility of the group and makes it more responsive to changing demands from the business. The increase in automation has also delivered much greater cost efficiency for the IT team.

Customer Benefits

The new platform delivered a number of streamlined business processes. Operating budgets have been reduced by using autonomous, self-managing programs. The use of a combined onshore/offshore operations team has reduced the cost of 24/7 operations – enabling the firm to focus more of the budget on breakthrough applications in science and engineering that lead to the delivery of new medications to improve patient outcomes.
