​Strategising for the future is hard. We make this simpler with our team of infrastructure architects in Sydney who are experts in future technologies, will provide IT direction and run workshops with you to offer -
-
In-depth analysis of your current IT architecture to review and identify legacy systems and processes as part of your technology blueprint. This includes analysing the current gaps & needs for Cloud Infrastructure, Containerisation, Data Centre Automation, DevOps as a service, Infrastructure as a service and IT Virtualisation.
​
-

​
-
Tailor a roadmap outlinining short term, medium term and long term initiatives required to transition from your current IT architecture to a modern, efficient and flexible setup.
Cloud Infrastructure pertains to the use of services offered by providers such as Amazon Web Services or Azure which eliminate the need for businesses to operate their own data centers. However, this limitless potential to utilize resources is coupled with a significant challenge - the cost of operating IT in the cloud is directly proportional to the amount of computing resources used.
Transitioning from a traditional data center to a cloud infrastructure can be a strategic move for organizations, although merely moving a monolithic application to the cloud may not yield the desired benefits and could instead lead to increased costs. The key to capitalizing on cloud benefits lies in properly analyzing the existing application stack to determine which applications can be efficiently moved to the cloud, and how this can be achieved.
By strategically moving appropriate applications to the cloud Wattle Tech will help you enjoy advantages like scalability, cost-effectiveness, and agility. We provide several services to help businesses transition to cloud infrastructure.
These services include -
-
Providing our expertise on the most effective cloud service provider solution which aligns with your needs and budget.
-
Migrate appropriate applications to the cloud, which involves detailed analysis and strategic planning.
-
Deployment of Kubernetes to build a cloud provider-agnostic infrastructure. This helps in avoiding vendor lock-in, thereby providing more flexibility to the business.
-
Aids in redesigning the build and release processes to be compatible with the cloud, thereby enabling smooth operations and continuous delivery in the cloud environment.
Particularly beneficial in a micro-service architecture, containerisation simplifies deployment by treating each service as a separate, independent unit. It allows developers to manage infrastructure components like servers, databases, and storage in an automated manner.
​
With the advent of Docker, containerisation has gained immense popularity due to its ability to enhance scalability and portability of applications. It not only drives efficiency in development and IT operations but also plays a critical role in DevOps processes and build automation. Furthermore, containerisation facilitates cloud migration and promotes seamless operation in multi-cloud or hybrid cloud infrastructure.
​
By packaging applications and their dependencies into an isolated container, Docker ensures frictionless portability, offering predictable repeatability, and reducing deployment times.
​
Wattle Tech offers a range of services to help businesses unlock the potential of containerisation -
-
We will assist in breaking down monolithic applications into Docker container images and setting up container orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
-
We will provide training to developers and IT administrators on how to operate these systems.
-
We will also guide businesses in their container journey, from modernizing their application portfolio to integrating Docker with DevOps for streamlined development pipelines. This will help businesses leverage containerisation for enhanced security, cost-efficiency, and agility.
Data Centre Automation addresses this problem by autonomously performing operations, saving time, money and resources.
Let our industry leading strategy & tailored recommendations and solutions centrally control and manage your servers, storage, networks and also automate tasks such as updating, reporting, patching and enforcing processes and controls. This means minimising the need for human presence at facilities, reducing your time spent on routine tasks to focus on your critical business issues.
Implementing a full-fledged DevOps approach significantly accelerates deployment frequency by 200 times, reduces error recovery time by 24 times, and minimises the chances of functionality disruption in new releases.
Furthermore, it makes the journey from code to production 2,555 times faster compared to lower performing organisations, providing employees an extra 10% time to innovate instead of addressing production issues.*
​
At Wattle Tech, we've been leveraging techniques like continuous integration, automated testing, and deployment for a decade, empowering numerous software development teams. We can assist you in -
-
Enhancing continuous integration pipelines to improve time from commit to production,
-
Setting up reproducible infrastructure to make sure your environment can be fully reproduced either in house or in the cloud.
-
Improve project visibility, and
-
Setting up tools for effective source code management, issue tracking, artifacts management etc.

*Puppet & Dora. State of DevOps. DevOps Research & Assessment (DORA)
IaC involves the management of infrastructure elements like networks, virtual machines, load balancers, and connection topology using a descriptive model, similar to how source code is versioned in DevOps.
The core principle of IaC is the consistent creation of identical environments every time the IaC model is applied, akin to how the same source code always generates the same binary. IaC, being a crucial DevOps practice, is typically used in tandem with continuous delivery.
IaC offers numerous benefits, including consistent environment setup, reduction in human error, version control, efficiency, and scalability. By automating infrastructure setup, IaC allows for quicker deployment, easier management, and rapid recovery of infrastructure, thereby saving time and reducing potential mistakes caused by manual processes. It facilitates infrastructure version control, helping in tracking changes and enabling rollback if necessary. Furthermore, IaC supports scalability as it can efficiently manage and configure a large number of servers.
Wattle Tech adopts a holistic approach to provide value to its customers, meticulously determining the right strategy, approach, and toolset required to efficiently automate your system and manage configuration drift.
-
We work within your budget, offering pragmatic solutions tailored to your needs. Wattle's expertise spans a wide array of tools, helping you choose the best fit for your team and environment.

-
Wattle's IT infrastructure services support your transition to IaC, ensuring that your system is automated and managed effectively.
IT Virtualisation
IT Virtualisation is a technology that creates virtual representations of physical components such as servers, storage, networks, etc. By abstracting the physical hardware functionality into software, virtualisation enables businesses to utilise their hardware resources more efficiently and interact with any hardware resource with greater flexibility.
IT Virtualisation removes limitations associated with physical proximity, network design, and maintenance, thereby facilitating the management of the hardware infrastructure like a web application. It also forms the backbone of cloud computing & cloud infrastructure services, enhancing infrastructure management efficiency.
With a decade-long experience in business IT virtualisation and future technologies, Wattle Tech provides a wide range of services to optimise and leverage virtualisation for businesses. We offers services -
-
Virtual infrastructure design, vendor selection, server consolidation and assessment, and deployment of your virtual infrastructure environment.
