This organization, one of the world\u2019s largest and most effective conservation nonprofits, derives its strength from a global membership that shares its values.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Large-scale fundraising, retail, and advocacy campaigns are one of the most effective ways this organization raises donor funds and connects with millions of supporters. For more than 30 years, Adabas &amp; Natural has provided the backbone of its fundraising capability, delivering reliable performance perfectly suited for the high-volume transactions these global initiatives generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the organization planned to consolidate all its applications from an in-house server to Microsoft Azure, it needed to ensure its core fundraising applications built on Adabas &amp; Natural could run in the cloud as well. This would help it continue its vital fundraising operations without interruption, as it simplified its IT infrastructure and sought to enable the integration of future technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <section\n        class=\"o-testimonials-slider alignwide\"\n        data-testimonials-slider\n        aria-label=\"Testimonials\"\n    >\n        <div class=\"o-testimonials-slider__inner\">\n            \n            <div\n                id=\"testimonials-slider-1\"\n                class=\"o-testimonials-slider__viewport swiper\"\n                tabindex=\"0\"\n            >\n                <div class=\"o-testimonials-slider__track swiper-wrapper\" role=\"list\">\n                                            <article\n                            class=\"o-testimonials-slider__slide swiper-slide\"\n                            role=\"listitem\"\n                            aria-label=\"Testimonial 1 of 1\"\n                        >\n                            <blockquote class=\"o-testimonials-slider__quote\">\n                                <p>\n                                    <span class=\"quotation--opening\">\u201c<\/span>\n                                    We&#8217;ve been incredibly happy with the availability of our applications built on Adabas &#038; Natural since moving to the cloud.

This nonprofit chose the fastest way to the cloud: a lift-and-shift of its Adabas &amp; Natural fundraising applications. Without changing the architecture, the organization migrated from Linux to a virtual machine running on Microsoft Azure&#8217;s hyperscale cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lift-and-shift process was fast and smooth: the nonprofit got the production environment up and running in less than two months. As part of this process, it copied all its existing programs, backed up the databases, and set up the Azure environment. Much of the start-up time was spent testing different configuration options on Azure to determine how to get the greatest value from the range of virtualized systems Microsoft offers. With Microsoft managing the cloud service, the nonprofit&#8217;s IT staff can focus on enabling new ways to engage with volunteers and donors instead of managing in-house hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-easy-access-around-the-world\">Easy access around the world<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The nonprofit has more than 4,300 users accessing its fundraising and donor engagement applications. These staff and volunteers contribute from around the world, so the organization had already modernized its application to enable easy access via the web or a mobile app. The move to Azure enables them to maintain this interface via virtual private network gateways, providing secure, encrypted connections. The distributed nature of the cloud helps them scale services up or down to match demand whenever and where it spikes, such as during events, auctions or other periods of elevated use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-devops-friendly\">DevOps friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The organization has long been a champion of DevOps for the ability to quickly build and deploy new capabilities. Using NaturalONE, an Eclipse-based application development environment, the programming team can integrate Natural with DevOps toolchains and processes to improve application delivery and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lift and shift to the cloud leaves the nonprofit\u2019s effective DevOps practices in place, including use of Eclipse plug-ins (Subversion, Git, Wireframe Sketcher, SQL, Remote System Explorer, PHP, Web, Database Development), version control (Subversion, Git), process mapping (Kerika), and Atlassian application lifecycle management tools (Fisheye\/Crucible, Bamboo, Stash).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-architecture-optimized\">Architecture optimized<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The nonprofit chose to lift-and-shift to a single-instance architecture running on a cloud-based virtual machine, matching the previous on-premises architecture. After testing various hardware configurations, the organization chose a 16-processor, 32 GB memory Azure machine with premium SSD drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move to the cloud presented an opportunity to recreate the environments and optimize their architecture. Previously, each database had four logical volume managers (LVMs); the organization reduced that by 75%, down to a single LVM per database, helping IT run applications more efficiently. The nonprofit also reduced the total number of disks in production by 90%, which greatly simplifies management moving forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reliability-for-the-future\">Reliability for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the rapid lift-and-shift to the cloud, the nonprofit has been extremely happy with uptime and availability. In the past year, it has experienced zero downtime and has found Adabas &amp; Natural on Azure to be extremely reliable. Azure\u2019s disaster recovery service replicates the nonprofit\u2019s system in a hot standby, ready to complete a failover to a new machine within minutes. Azure backups create a daily snapshot of all disks with a 30-day retention window, allowing you to recover files or an entire disk if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Software AG is proud to support this organization\u2019s move to the cloud and a more adaptable, responsive IT environment. The nonprofit has invested decades in building effective fundraising applications built on Adabas &amp; Natural. As the Director of Information Systems says about the longevity of its solutions, \u201cIf it didn\u2019t work, it wouldn\u2019t be legacy.\u201d Now, the organization can build on this success while positioning itself for greater agility and innovation with a cloud-first strategy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div
