CAFM Application Orchestration on Kubernetes with On-Premise Infrastructure Monitoring

The client needed to modernize their CAFM platform to support growing user demand and enhance service availability. Key challenges included:

• Existing monolithic CAFM applications lead to scalability and performance bottlenecks.
• Lack of containerization and orchestration, resulting in slow deployments.
• No centralized infrastructure monitoring, making issue detection and resolution reactive.
• High availability requirements for critical facility management operations.

‍

BizCloud implemented a containerized CAFM deployment with integrated on-prem monitoring:

1. Assessment & Design

•  Conducted discovery sessions with application and infrastructure teams.
•  Designed a Kubernetes-based architecture for CAFM application components (API, database, services).
•  Defined monitoring strategy covering servers, network, storage, and application layer.

2. Application Orchestration via Kubernetes

•  Containerized CAFM application modules with Docker.
•  Deployed on Kubernetes clusters with auto-scaling and self-healing features.
•  Configured Ingress controllers, persistent volumes, and secrets management for secure app delivery.

3. On-Premise Infrastructure Monitoring

•  Implemented ManageEngine Ops Manager / Prometheus + Grafana for real-time monitoring.
•  Set up alerts and dashboards for CPU, memory, disk, and network utilization.
•  Integrated application-level logs for proactive troubleshooting.

4. Testing & Validation

•  Conducted HA and fail-over testing on Kubernetes nodes.
•  Validated monitoring alerts and escalation workflows.
•  Ensured compliance with enterprise security standards

5. Knowledge Transfer

•  Delivered training to DevOps and infra teams on Kubernetes administration and monitoring dashboards.
•  Provided detailed documentation including runbooks and SOPs.

‍

•  Containerized CAFM application for modular scalability.
•  Kubernetes orchestration with HA and auto-scaling.
•  Integrated on-prem monitoring for infra and app visibility.
•  Alerting & escalation workflows for proactive resolution.
•  Future-ready hybrid architecture enabling potential cloud extension.

‍

• Improved scalability & resilience of CAFM platform with Kubernetes.
• 99.9% uptime achieved for facility management operations.
• Enhanced visibility into infrastructure health with unified monitoring.
• Faster deployment cycles and reduced downtime for application updates.
• Stronger alignment with enterprise IT modernization roadmap.
