ICBF is an industry-led organisation charged with providing cattle breeding information services to the Irish dairy and beef industries.<\/h2>\n

ICBF (Irish Cattle Breeding Federation),<\/a> the organisation responsible for dairy and beef cattle breeding improvement in Ireland, partnered with Version 1<\/a> in an AWS Next-Gen Managed Service over three years ago. Through this relationship, Version 1 has implemented transformative changes that greatly improved efficiency for the organisation\u2019s IT operations.<\/p>\n

Next-Gen Managed Service<\/h2>\n

Moving From On-Premise Infrastructure<\/h2>\n

Through a Managed Service partnership, Version 1 has been working with ICBF over the past three years on a number of improvements to the organisation\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Version 1 moved ICBF from completely on-premise infrastructure to a model where the organisation\u2019s web frontend is now hosted on AWS.<\/p>\n

By completing this move, ICBF now has development, test and production environments running on AWS, with VPN tunnels connecting to its backend on-site databases.<\/p>\n

DevOps Environment Upgrade<\/h2>\n

In another initiative to drive efficiency for ICBF, Version 1 upgraded ICBF\u2019s DevOps environment.<\/p>\n

ICBF now uses Jenkins software hosted on AWS to manage its PHP code. Jenkins is an open-source automation server that enables developers around the world to reliably build, test, and deploy their software.<\/p>\n

Karl O\u2019Connell from ICBF commented on the successful DevOps environment upgrade carried out by Version 1:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the above improvements were designed and implemented by Version 1. The DevOps environment upgrade totally transformed the way our developers work and greatly improved our efficiency. We also have an SFTP site on AWS that was set up by Version 1.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
