Infrastructure\nservices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In\n2014 SURFnet was approached by 6 universities of applied science who\nasked SURFnet to offer a broad set public IaaS services meeting a\nvery strict set of (security, privacy and governance) requirements.\nAs SURFnet did not have the skillsets available which were needed to\ndevelop this service, Nils Vogels from Aves IT was brought in (end\n2015) as one of two architects who investigated the requirements and\nproposed that a Cloud Management Portal (CMP) was to be used to\ncreate the single pane of glass access to all providers needed to\nenable institutions to pursue a real multi-cloud strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A\nmarket analysis was undertaken to see which CMP\u2019s would be able to\nmeet the requirements drafted by the institutions. CloudBolt was\nquickly identified as one of the potential products, given the\nability of CloudBolt to operate on-premises, with support for\nmulti-tenancy and at the time 15 different cloud technologies. Nils\nhelped draft the technical and functional requirements for the tender\nselecting the CMP, which was won by CloudBolt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nils\nhas been given the responsibility to develop the CMP for SURFnet\u2019s\nmulti-tenant use and was able to have an initial version operational\nready for production within three months\u2019 time, connecting\ninitially two VMware based resource sets and preparing for many more\ncloud vendor technologies, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft\nAzure, OpenStack. Nils quickly became the trusted technical advisor\nand integrator of the CMP, ensured all issues were dealt with\nquickly, gave trainings on the usage of the CMP, created roadmaps\nwith feature enhancements and oversaw the tactical relation with\nCloudBolt, initiating, motivating and managing all requests for\nenhancements and bug fixes. Nils performed all these tasks in an\nunsupervised way, taking control of all these processes while keeping\nstakeholders informed. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nils\nhas the ability to explain technical issues in layman\u2019s\u2019 terms,\nis fully accepted as a peer by our highly technical network and\nidentity management engineers and write reports on a\ntactical\/strategic level while working completely unsupervised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nils\nhas been instrumental for the success of the SURFcumulus services\n(insert link to English website?) and we wholeheartedly recommend him\nto any organization looking for an architect on cloud infrastructure\nservices or setting up a CMP.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
