Case Study Hünenberg Schools

Client: Schulen Hünenberg

The Hünenberg schools in the canton of Zug have embarked on a transformation journey with baseVISION AG to modernize their infrastructure by migrating to the Azure Cloud with Azure Governance Light. With a focus on resource organization, availability, policies, tagging, naming conventions, identity management, monitoring, backup, and cost management, the schools laid a solid foundation for their Azure environment. This strategic shift demonstrates the commitment to a future-oriented school by aligning technology with the institution’s ethos for greater efficiency and security.

The situation before baseVISION: Infrastructure in the local data center

The Hünenberg schools are a public elementary school in the canton of Zug, with advanced leadership structures and efficient school management. They are committed to providing humane, future-oriented, and advanced education for their students from kindergarten to the 9th grade.

The Hünenberg schools face the challenge of modernizing their infrastructure for the digital age. They have already taken important steps by managing their clients with Microsoft Intune. However, the server infrastructure is still located in a local data center.

The vision: Digital transformation with the Azure Cloud

  • Migration of the entire server infrastructure to the Azure Cloud.
  • Utilizing the full potential of modern cloud technologies.
  • Increase in efficiency and security.
«Dank dem Azure Governance Light können die Schulen Hünenberg die Vision von der Verlagerung der gesamten Serverinfrastruktur in die Azure Cloud planen und dabei das volle Potenzial moderner Cloudtechnologien ausschöpfen und gleichzeitig die Effizienz und Sicherheit erheblich steigern.»

Our Solution

To successfully embark on this ambitious path, the Hünenberg schools turned to baseVISION AG. Together, a long-term strategy with Azure Governance Light was developed. The project aims to provide the schools with a solid foundation for their Azure environment and ease their initial steps into the cloud.

During the project, the following topics were analyzed in depth and integrated accordingly:

Resource Organization

During the project, the following topics were analyzed in depth and integrated accordingly:

Availability

Ensuring the availability of Azure Services was of utmost importance, and we developed strategies to meet these requirements at all times.

Azure Policies

We defined basic Azure Policies to establish clear guidelines for creating new
resources and managing existing resources.

Tagging

The definition of Azure Tags and their application possibilities were developed to enable organized resource management.

Naming

A naming concept in an Azure Governance concept is important to ensure the unique identification, management, and organization of resources in the cloud, thus enabling efficient and controlled implementation.

Identity

Identity management and the implementation of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) were addressed, as identity is the perimeter in the cloud.

Monitoring

Monitoring with Azure Monitor was introduced to proactively respond to discrepancies in Azure resources.

Backup

The implementation of backup mechanisms enables quick recovery in the event of unexpected data loss.

Cost Management

We discussed the specific aspects of cost management in the cloud, including the shift from capital to operational expenses, cost optimization, and budget monitoring.

The most used Microsoft technologies

  • Azure Infrastructure
  • Azure Governance Light
  • Microsoft Entra ID
  • Conditional Access
«Der Einstieg in Azure kann anfangs anspruchsvoll und zeitaufwändig sein. Deshalb ist es wichtig, sich zu Beginn Zeit zu nehmen und alles gut zu organisieren. Nur so kann die Lernkurve steil und nachhaltig nach oben gehen. Mit den Schulen Hünenberg sind wir so vorgegangen – mit Erfolg!»
