Author: Carl Parker
Release Date: 24/11/2023
An accelerated Vault deployment service by Somerford, our Vault Acceleration Program (VAP) is designed for the rapid installation and enablement of HashiCorp’s Vault solution to provide quick ROI and acceleration of deployment. Our HashiCorp-certified consultants will work closely with your organisation to deploy Vault Enterprise seamlessly, allowing you to manage secrets effectively within your environment.
What is HashiCorp’s Vault solution?
HashiCorp Vault is a popular open-source tool that provides secure storage and management of secrets, sensitive data, and encryption keys. It enables organisations to securely store and manage secrets, such as passwords, API keys, certificates, and other sensitive data, using a centralised platform.
Additionally, Vault handles multi-datacenter replication and disaster recovery so you can maintain continuous and agile application delivery.
What’s involved in our VAP offering?
The capabilities of HashiCorp’s Vault product makes it an increasingly critical component of any modern organisation’s workflow, however, to deploy and manage the solution optimally, it requires expertise. Our VAP service provides expert guidance to effectively integrate Vault, scale it, and derive the most value from it.
Initially, we will provide a workshop to kick off the program of work, where we will meet the stakeholders involved and collaborate to set expectations on the value you expect to receive from the program once it is operational.
After this, we can offer an optional deep dive into your existing Vault set-up to understand current usage, alongside a series of interviews during which we will develop a personalised roadmap with achievable goals included. Our consultants also provide a digestible review of our recommended steps to get more value from Vault.
Generally, our VAP service will unfold with the following stages:
Why might you need VAP?
If you are an existing Vault Enterprise customer encountering adoption challenges, then you can expect this program to support your engineers with these obstacles. Or perhaps you are ready for a consultation on wider Vault Enterprise adoption, in which case our consultants can assist you in achieving these aspirations.
Finally, if you are an existing Vault OSS user, or a prospective Vault Enterprise customer, and your organisational complexity has recently grown, deploying HashiCorp Vault on a larger scale across the business may be required, and can be implemented with our VAP service.
If you would be interested in discussing our VAP offering, we would be happy to assist you in providing more information and specific roadmap details for you.
