MDF Infra, the fiber optic leader in the Netherlands, required a cloud platform that could ensure strong security and centralized management of access and identities. As MDF Infra’s trusted IT partner, Sensey led the migration effort, leveraging Azure Entra ID to establish identity as the foundation of their cloud security. The mission was to migrate their critical workloads to the Microsoft Azure Cloud and implement robust identity management solutions to enhance security and operational efficiency.
MDF Infra faced several key challenges in its cloud migration journey. Ensuring centralized and secure identity management was critical to maintain robust access control and enforce consistent policies across Azure resources. Establishing private and secure communication channels was equally important to protect sensitive data from potential threats. Additionally, the infrastructure needed to be flexible and resilient, capable of dynamically adapting to varying workloads while maintaining high performance and reliability. These challenges underscored the need for a comprehensive and secure cloud strategy.
Centralized Access Control
Unified identity management across all Azure resources, ensuring consistent policies and reducing fragmentation.
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Enabled seamless authentication for Azure resources, applications, and third-party integrations.
Conditional Access Policies
Prevented unauthorized access by evaluating user location, device health, and login behavior.
Privileged Identity Management (PIM)
Minimized administrative role exposure by implementing just-in-time access for sensitive operations.
Identity Governance
Utilized role-based access control (RBAC) and periodic access reviews to ensure users only had access to necessary resources.
Autoscaling
Configured AKS with horizontal pod autoscaling and node autoscaling to dynamically match demand.
Node Pool Segmentation
Isolated workloads across dedicated node pools to enhance stability and resource efficiency.
Monitoring and Alerts
Deployed Azure Monitor and Log Analytics for real-time visibility into infrastructure performance and potential issues.
Encryption Everywhere
Enforced encryption at rest and in transit using Azure Key Vault for key management.
Network Security Groups (NSGs)
Applied security rules to control traffic flow and prevent unauthorized access.
Sensey’s migration of MDF Infra’s workloads to Azure centered on robust identity management with Azure Entra ID, enhancing security and reducing administrative complexity. Private Link and encryption ensured data privacy, while automated CI/CD pipelines streamlined deployments. AKS’s dynamic scaling optimized performance and costs, enabling the infrastructure to adapt to varying workloads. This transformation equips MDF Infra to meet industry demands, ensuring long-term growth and resilience.
Migrating Fepatex to the Azure Cloud
Fepatex needed a secure, scalable environment to handle their unique workloads without disrupting operations. Migrating their applications, databases, and services from on-premises posed challenges in maintaining secure data connections, enforcing access control, reducing manual deployment efforts, and ensuring a resilient infrastructure that adapts to workload fluctuations efficiently.
As official IT partner of Fepatex, Europe’s market leader in manufacturering of eyelets and eyelet machinery, our mission was to move their on-premises infrastructure to the cloud. The goal was to shift all their critical workloads to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), focusing on security, automation, and scalability. With careful planning, we moved Fepatex to a reliable, cloud-native setup on Azure, giving them the flexibility and efficiency they needed.

Private Link for Secure Data Connections
To maintain secure and private communication, we utilized Azure Private Link, which enables data traffic to remain within Fepatex's Azure resources without exposing it to the public internet.
Automation with Azure Container Registry (ACR)
Integrating Azure Container Registry with AKS allowed us to automate the building and management of container images, streamlining the CI/CD pipeline and reducing manual intervention in deployments.
Security Policies and Access Control
By applying detailed security policies, including network policies and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), we restricted access to authorized users and applications. Compliance checks through Azure Policy further reinforced security by ensuring that all resources adhered to industry standards.
Scalable, Resilient Infrastructure
With AKS’s automated resource scaling, Fepatex can now handle peak traffic efficiently while scaling back during off-peak times, optimizing both cost and performance.
The migration to Azure transformed Fepatex’s infrastructure into a secure, automated, and scalable cloud environment. With private connections and access controls, data handling is secure, while an automated CI/CD pipeline enables faster updates for consistent service. The scalable AKS infrastructure adjusts to demand, minimizing hardware management and allowing Fepatex to focus on core operations. Partnering with Sensey, Fepatex now operates on a reliable, cloud-first platform aligned with their growth and future goals.
