During the initial consultancy, DoiT worked with various different parts of the business to understand how each of them needs to interact with the infrastructure and continue to deliver value to Cafeyn. There were some key considerations for DoiT when considering the best architecture, including:

• High Availability infrastructure
• Scalable infrastructure to cope with demand during busy periods
  • Ensure that there were little to no systems that are underutilized
  • Ensure that scheduling could be utilized that had no operational impact on Cafeyn
• Reduce costs of running the cloud infrastructure
• Align the migrated infrastructure with the existing customer guidelines and patterns

As Cafeyn is an internationally recognized brand, in a hugely competitive market, reputation management was a key point that all departments were keen to impart, DoiT needed to ensure that the proposed systems in place were:

• Security
• Reliability
• Cost Optimization
• Performance Efficiency
