Published on 09 July 2021

AsiaPac (from M1) has more than 30 years of presence in Singapore and is a trusted and reliable partner in the Government, Education, Healthcare, Enterprise and Commercial sectors. Highly acclaimed for our Managed Services, Cloud and Enterprise Computing, we possess excellent references in implementing and on-boarding secured Hyper Converged Infrastructure (HCI), Hybrid Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure and Robotic Process Automation Projects.

 As a leading enterprise hybrid multi-cloud solutions provider, we partnered with our customers to accelerate business digital transformation with a comprehensive portfolio of ICT solutions and providing Cloud Best Practices in Consultation, Design & Deploy, Proactive Monitoring, Technical Support & Managed Services. AsiaPac’s market leadership stems from its strategy of consistently making the latest technology available to our customers in a timely and effective manner.

AsiaPac has an established Cloud Competency Centre to support our customers in their Cloud Journey transformation and adopt best industry practices.

Our Cloud consultants and architects use our Cloud Adoption Framework to recommend the Cloud Best Practices for our customers on infrastructure and enterprise applications migration to the Cloud platform. There are several strategies for migrating applications to new environments, including a phase-driven step-by-step strategy for migrating applications to the Cloud.

Cloud Migration – A Phased Approach

As a Cloud Managed Services Provider, we use DevOps Services to simplify Infrastructure provisioning and management, application code deployment, automating software release processes and monitoring application and infrastructure performances. AsiaPac’s DevOps platform is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases customer’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enables our clients to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market.

Highlighted are two AWS projects that are undertaken by our Cloud Competency Centre.
