Customer innovation outpacing traditional cloud managed services
Businesses are moving beyond “data center in the cloud” to cloud-native models that focus on innovation, not IT stasis. Yet most services focus on a pricing model based on consumption or “nodes” leading to mismatch of dollar to value. There’s no impetus to innovate, instead maintaining the status quo that embraces the traditional mindset of managing steady state.
At Ollion, we believe it’s time companies take a fresh approach to not just managing their cloud environment, but rather evolving their model toward supporting business transformation and continuous innovation.
Navigating cloud evolution with OlliOnDemand
The cloud is ever-changing, with new features and enhancements continually added by public cloud providers. As a result, you need an agile partner that can adapt and help you manage that continuous change from project to production.
At its core, OlliOnDemand provides access to a team of cloud experts with a broad skill set in cloud technologies, ranging from cloud platforms themselves into containers, automation and more. This team is aligned to you throughout your cloud journey.
Reliable support and expertise
To give you the peace of mind that we’re here when you need us, this team is backed by our 24/7 global support center providing exceptional response times and always-on availability. For issues this team is not able to resolve, your core team is always on-call to bring the most in-depth knowledge of your environment to the most challenging issues.
In addition to the core competency of our cloud architecture and cloud engineering services teams, we may supplement with additional capabilities from SMEs across our data and security specialties.
OlliOnDemand capabilities
A program of ongoing innovation
Organized as a collaborative partnership, OlliOnDemand provides access to a highly skilled team of cloud engineers & architects, security engineers and financial analyst. Your services team helps identify and implement new services to assist in maintaining and improving the utilization, performance, security and adoption of cloud within your organization.
Our iterative process is designed to address your strategic organizational initiatives and align as business initiatives change, allowing you to accelerate enablement, automation and transformation.
Just want traditional managed cloud services? We can do that, too.
If you’re looking to outsource your traditional managed cloud services capabilities to focus more on core business functions, Ollion can be your managed cloud service provider. We manage, monitor and resolve problems related to IT systems and functions that include networking, connectivity, software and hardware maintenance. This includes:
Monitoring and alerting
Ollion sets up your cloud service provider's native monitoring solution to only generate alerts that can be actioned upon by our Global Service Center according to your pre-defined runbooks. If you prefer other monitoring tools, Ollion's service delivery personnel can be given administrative access to adjust alerting thresholds and configure alert generation settings.
Maintenance and patching
Ollion handles monthly scheduled maintenance for your cloud environment, leveraging your chosen cloud provider's native services to install security patches.
Backup and restorations
Using your cloud provider's native services, automated snapshots of systems are taken at required intervals. These are aligned to an archival process for aging snapshots in accordance with your specific governance and compliance policies. Ollion can perform restorations from snapshots at your request.
Security of your environment
Under the shared responsibility model, the cloud service provider, the customer and Ollion jointly share responsibility for being good citizens of the cloud. This means we are all responsible for not acting maliciously or being negligent in following the guidelines of running applications on the public cloud. To make your job easier, Ollion takes care of ensuring that your systems adhere to the Center for Internet Security (CIS) benchmarks and CSP security best practices.
Why Ollion
OlliOnDemand is a new take on delivering managed cloud services that picks up where migrations typically stop. With a small pod of experts serving as your primary delivery team, we get to know you and your business challenges. Our focus is on driving iterative improvement in your cloud environment, with less emphasis on disaster recovery planning, monitoring, alerting and backup restoration – though incident management can be added if you choose – and cloud cost-optimization and FinOps included. We offer a predictable subscription rate with flexibility written into every statement of work, so our support can change with your organization’s needs.

Cloud cost management assessment
Many organizations lack the skills, tools and knowledge to drive the cultural discipline of making informed cloud cost decisions. Failure to do so will not only lead to budget overruns, but can result in future cloud initiatives being put on hold.
"Considering the problematic skill shortages that are pervasive across the IT industry, cloud-native modernization projects often fall short of expectations.
To improve the chance of success while reducing cost, complexity, and risk to the organization, IT decision makers should consider augmenting internal operations with third-party, outside expertise."
