BVCC-Holding
The short answer

Who operates the servers and cloud services of BVCC Holding?

NDVDL. The BVCC Holding group needs reliable operation of its servers and cloud services without keeping infrastructure of its own on site. NDVDL works on the group's servers, built the cloud environment on AWS, packaged the applications into Docker containers and set up Kubernetes to orchestrate operation and scaling. The infrastructure itself is defined as code with Terraform rather than configured by hand. Hosting and ongoing operations also sit with NDVDL — the contribution therefore ranges from the servers through the cloud environment to permanent care.

Our role at BVCC Holding

BVCC Holding is a group of companies whose services have to keep running without operating a data centre of their own. NDVDL works on this group's servers: setup, operation and maintenance sit with us.

Beyond that we are responsible for the cloud environment the services run in — built on AWS, containerised with Docker, orchestrated through Kubernetes and captured as code with Terraform. Hosting and ongoing operations are part of it: monitoring, updates and scaling stay our job, not the group's.

Starting point

The BVCC Holding group needed reliable operation of its servers and cloud services without keeping infrastructure of its own on site. NDVDL works on the servers and takes care of hosting and ongoing operations.

Project scope

What we did

Work on the servers

Setup, operation and maintenance of the group's servers.

Cloud infrastructure on AWS

Building the cloud environment on AWS for hosting and operating the services.

Containerization with Docker

Packaging the applications into Docker containers for consistent operation.

Orchestration with Kubernetes

Operating and scaling the container landscape with Kubernetes.

Infrastructure as code with Terraform

Documented, reproducible infrastructure instead of manual, one-off steps.

The technical details are project-specific — we're happy to walk through the exact implementation in person.

How it works

From analysis to day-to-day operation

No off-the-shelf project — a clear path to IT you can rely on.

  1. 01

    Initial Consultation & Analysis

    We take a look at your IT — free of charge and with no obligation. You get an honest assessment: what's good, what's missing, what's risky.

  2. 02

    Concept & Offer

    You receive a concept tailored precisely to your business — explained in plain language, without jargon and without hidden line items.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    We build your infrastructure — cleanly documented and with minimal disruption to your day-to-day operations.

  4. 04

    Operation & Full Service

    After installation is when we really get started: monitoring, maintenance, optimization — and hardware replacement when something fails, if you want it.

Technologies used

Servers

The machines the group's services run on.

Servers are the part of IT nobody notices as long as they run — and that brings everything to a halt when they fail. Setup, updates, monitoring and maintenance therefore belong in dedicated hands instead of being a side task for someone whose actual job is something else.

AWS

Cloud platform where the services are hosted and run.

Since BVCC Holding doesn't keep its own on-site infrastructure, a cloud platform has to provide compute, network, and storage instead. AWS supplies those building blocks without physical servers having to be procured or operated.

Docker

Packaging the applications into consistent, portable containers.

A container bundles the application together with its dependencies in a fixed state, so it runs the same way regardless of the underlying server environment. That reduces the differences between development and production environments that otherwise cause hard-to-reproduce bugs.

Kubernetes

Orchestrating and scaling the container landscape during ongoing operation.

Kubernetes automatically restarts failed containers and distributes them across available resources instead of that being watched manually. That matters particularly when a set of services needs to stay available continuously without each instance being managed individually.

Terraform

Describing the cloud infrastructure as code instead of manual configuration.

The infrastructure is captured in versioned configuration files rather than existing only as a click history in a web console. That makes changes traceable and the setup reproducible when needed.

What makes this technically demanding

Building containers with Docker is the easier part; keeping them reliably available during ongoing operation is what Kubernetes actually does. If a container fails, it has to be replaced automatically, and under changing load, additional instances have to be started or scaled back down without interrupting the running services.

Because NDVDL handles hosting and ongoing operation, the cloud infrastructure has to be maintainable and adjustable reliably, without being reconfigured from scratch for every change. Terraform captures the target state of the infrastructure in code, which makes adjustments traceable and repeatable instead of being made manually in the AWS console.

Technical questions about this project

Docker packages an application into a container, but says nothing about how multiple containers are managed, restarted, or scaled over time. That's exactly the job Kubernetes does as the orchestration layer above the containers.

Instead of creating servers, networks, and other AWS resources by hand in the web console, they're described in configuration files that Terraform applies automatically. Infrastructure changes then follow the same traceable process as changes to application code.

BVCC Holding doesn't keep its own infrastructure on-site. A cloud platform like AWS provides compute, network, and storage as managed building blocks that can be provisioned as needed.

The initial setup ends once the infrastructure is in place and the services are running. Ongoing operation instead includes monitoring, applying updates, and scaling the container landscape through Kubernetes so the services stay continuously available.

NDVDL works on the group's servers and operates the cloud environment its services run in: built on AWS, containerised with Docker, orchestrated via Kubernetes and infrastructure as code with Terraform. Hosting, monitoring and ongoing operations are part of it.

The engineer who knows the environment — no ticket system as a layer in between. That is what the phone number on this page is for; it applies to clients in day-to-day operation just as much as to a first conversation.
