Security
Datapipe’s	industry-leading	advanced	
security	services	provide:
• Intrusion	detection	and	threat	
management
• Security	event	and	log	analysis	and	
management
• Data	encryption	for	multiple	platforms
• Two-factor	authorization	for	role-based	
and	user-based	access	control

Security	Use	Cases
Architected	and	deployed	a	true	PCI	compliant	hybrid	IT	solution.	The	
enterprise	application	environment	maintained	PCI	compliance	across	
the	AWS	environment	and	a	managed,	physical	Oracle	database.
Deployed	and	managed	a	multi-region	ticketing	system	using	a	PCI	
compliant	hosted	private	cloud.	Led	the	client	migration	of	applications	
to	a	PCI	environment,	providing	a	global	compliant	footprint	for	
business	expansion.
Quickly	and	efficiently	enforced	compliance	of	environments	through	
instrumentation	and	“auto-fix”	– sensing	and	responding	to	issues	or	
changes	and	reverting	the	environment	to	compliant	standards.

Automation	&	Orchestration
Datapipe	uses	multi	cloud	
automation	and	orchestration	tools	
to:
• Optimize	the	deployment	of	multi-
Cloud	environments
• Improve	response	times	through	
Standard	resource	configurations
• Reduce	errors	through	standards	
management
• Full	cloud	services	lifecycle	
management
• Quickly	deploy	updates	and	patches

Automation	&	Orchestration	Use	Cases
Automated	the	deployment	of	a	large-scale	e-commerce	production	
environment	on	AWS,	spinning	up	the	environment	in	4	minutes.	By	
automating,	Datapipe	enabled	instant	repeatability	as	new	regions	
were	deployed.
Automated	the	configuration	and	deployment	of	a	large-scale	Hosted	
Private	Cloud	infrastructure	– completed	in	minutes	versus	days.	
Implemented	complete	automation	of	software	configuration	and	
installation.
Quickly	and	efficiently	enforced	compliance	of	environments	through	
instrumentation	and	“auto-fix”	– sensing	and	responding	to	issues	or	
changes	and	reverting	the	environment	to	compliant	standards.

Proactive	Monitoring
Advanced	monitoring	for	both	physical	
and	cloud	environments:
• Client-defined	thresholds	are	established	
and	data	collection	mechanisms	are	
deployed	to	monitor	the	client’s	entire	
infrastructure	solutions
• Ensures	issues	are	detected	and	resolved	
before	performance	or	availability	are	
negatively	impacted
• Monitoring	and	analysis	of	network	flow	
data	provides	in-depth	insight	into	
network	traffic,	performance,	and	
utilization

Proactive	Monitoring	Use	Cases
Deployed	a	custom	monitoring	solution	for	a	large-scale,	elastic	multi-
region	AWS	environment.		Implemented	auto-discovery	of	every	new	
and	decommissioned	machine,	followed	by	the	automated	deployment	
of	measuring	devices	and	monitoring.
Deployed	a	global	monitoring	solution	for	a	hosted	private	cloud	that	
spanned	three	continents	and	four	data	centers.	Implemented	a	
custom	dashboard	which	allowed	the	client	to	view	all	data	and	
reporting	in	a	single	pane	of	glass.
Deployed	a	monitoring	solution	for	a	hybrid	IT	environment.	This	
included	monitoring	the	back-end	infrastructure	and	database	in	a	
traditional	stack,	and	the	application	layer	running	on	AWS.		Custom	
designed	to	support	unique	data	pulls	for	the	client.
