Regola Consulting understands that architecting cloud infrastructure and hybrid cloud applications is more than developing a blueprint and project roadmap--the design also should encompass the operational, business, and regulatory needs of the customer so that the system can be maintained with a predictable level of effort by existing staff throughout the entire system lifecycle. Regola Consulting staff worked on the largest known unclassified civilian U.S. federal cloud infrastructure contract in a 24x7 mission critical environment, while supporting application migrations and core infrastructure (SDN, enterprise shared services, security tools, etc.) that supported over 20 stakeholders. Staff have expert level knowledge of NIST 800-53 control implementation, including in environments with inheritance of FedRAMP controls by cloud infrastructure providers and application developers.
