Cloud App Modernization

Bringing your Apps into the cloud era

Your organisation, like many, likely has a raft of applications spanning from decades of IT practice. Call them monoliths, or label them as technical debt, they are likely costly, complex in nature, and stifle the type of innovation businesses look for with digital services.

Our Cloud App Modernization takes the business value in these applications, such as the processes and data you have built up over years, and replatforms them on cloud native services, opening them up to opportunities to innovate and optimize, while reducing costs and risk. We work closely with your team to identify candidates for modernization that align with business goals, and deliver a demonstrable return on investment.

By bringing your apps into the cloud era, we bring new life to tired systems.

Data Platforms & Analytics

Secure and scalable data services

Unlocking valuable data in your business can provide immediate benefits and impact.

Using Infrastructure as Code and DataOps practices, we are able to rapidly establish a platform that provides a catalogue for business users to consume for analytics and intelligence or functionality for applications or APIs. Security and governance processes can be baked right into the catalogues for confidence that you have your business data under control.

You’ll be able to deploy new services and applications quicker and drastically simplify operational complexity in the wide area network (WAN).

NaaS

Gain agility with Network as a Service.

Network management was historically an engineer’s enigma, a complex realm trapped behind cryptic screens and dashboards. This created a lack of agility and visibility for organisations that wanted simple outcomes such as connecting users to the internet and applications. Fortunately, it doesn’t need to be that hard as the era of unnecessary complexity for networking ends here.

Our NaaS is your gateway to a dual offering of Wifi-as-a-Service or Network-as-a-Service. Tailored to your requirements, we furnish either seamless wifi or a comprehensive end-to-end network package, complete with internet and expansive WAN links. Monitoring your network is effortless with our accessible web dashboard, granting you full visibility into its activities. Streamlined and results-driven – this is the essence of true connectivity.

Security

Data no longer resides on-premise allowing users and end customers to be truly mobile. Services are available anywhere, documents can be easily shared for collaboration. Users are connecting directly to cloud services with no need to route through on-premise infrastructure. As a result, organisations are required to think differently about how both their users and applications are secured.

The Instillery’s security suite has been designed to face today’s security challenges using best in breed toolsets and insights to provide a total package for our customers.

Cloud Web Security

Protect your users anywhere

Cloud has enabled a mobile workforce and employees can now work from anywhere – from different time zones to different devices. As a result, targeting end-users has become a common means of compromising IT systems.

As the internet becomes the new corporate network, organisations should be able to ensure network security moves with users. Put a perimeter around your users, and with the most advanced cloud security platform available.

Cloud WAF

Secure your critical services

An organisation’s web presence is often the first port of call for potential customers, with online stores, web applications and self service websites increasingly becoming the norm for doing business. With our cloud web application firewall, organisations benefit from security and increased performance to ensure your customers have a secure and reliable experience.

Security includes the application level intelligence to block common threats, as well as DDOS mitigation. Built as a cloud service, DDOS attacks are able to be mitigated as close as possible to the point of origin, and have been able to withstand attacks of multi-hundred Gbps. This architecture also means the services offer the benefits of a Content Delivery Network, providing customers improved performance no matter where they are in the world.

Public Cloud Security

Enhance AWS, Azure and GCP security

A security strategy is an integral part of planning a move to public cloud. The temptation can be to try and replicate existing security systems although data is no longer in your data centre. Often this can be detrimental to cost, efficiency, performance and security.

Public cloud providers offer some very real benefits by taking responsibility for protecting the infrastructure that runs all the cloud services. In other areas they have provided native features that allow for powerful, granular security control for both network security and Identity and Access Management.

Secure Remote Access

Connect users to their apps without the VPN 

VPNs were invented to provide remote access to private apps, and did this by connecting users to a network - generally the office or a local data centre. With private apps running in multiple cloud platforms and data centres, and the need for more granular policy driven controls, this approach no longer meets the modern security or user experience demands.

With Zscaler Private Access for zero-trust remote access, access to private apps is governed by policies defining which users can access which applications, regardless what network either party resides on. Further to this, as ZPA works through outbound established connections, there is no longer a requirement to have a publicly exposed VPN endpoint, allowing your data centres to go dark to would-be-attackers.

Zero Trust Network Access

Provide access to your applications, not your entire network

Zero Trust Network Access is built on the principle of least-privileged access where no user or application is inherently trusted. Instead, they are provided with only the most granular access required to perform their function.

Traditionally IT security models have granted access to applications and data by implied trust - users are able to access a network and therefore they are able to access applications and data on that network, broadening the attack surface and allowing for lateral movement after a breach occurs.

The traditional method also had flaws with experience as the users had to rely on connection tools like a VPN for remote access which is both cumbersome and creates yet again another attack vector.

The Instillery is New Zealand’s leading Zscaler partner and provider of Zero Trust solutions. We believe that zero trust extends beyond users connecting to applications and identifying and controlling how applications communicate with each other, and how multi-cloud, hybrid cloud and branches integrate into this solution.

The rapid increase of Work-From-Anywhere has accelerated Zero Trust adoption, broken down misconceptions and overcame objections. We specialise in integrating zero trust into your existing network, providing roadmaps to enhance your posture over time and implementing strategies such as strict isolation for legacy network segments that are not immediately able to adopt a zero-trust posture. For others, we can help you ditch the corporate WAN altogether!

Quite simply, when it comes to Cloud, The Instillery is the best! We have built something quite special, and I know it will provide us with a different way of planning & managing the city, which is really what we want to do, in fact - we need to do.

Dr Haydn Read

Development Program Office, Auckland Council

Working with The Instillery is really good. It's convenient like it used to be. If you think of traditional IT businesses in New Zealand, it was just like that. I can just pick up the phone and talk to an engineer at The Instillery and get their advice. That's really cool.

Brad Watson

I.T. Operations Manager, Sanford

Our legacy on-prem solutions were holding us back so the migration to the cloud was a key strategic enabler for us. The relationship we have with The Instillery meant we were able to take a risk together on the new technology to enable this. Working closely with Instillery and AWS we were able to develop an innovative approach to the migration using VMware Cloud that shaved months and tens of thousands of dollars off the project.
