Establishing a Scalable and Secure Azure Network Hub
Client Overview
Company: Onyx Gaming
Industry: Online Gaming
Location: UK
Engagement Type: Project Delivery + Ongoing Support
Onyx Gaming is a UK-based digital gaming company delivering online entertainment to a growing user base. As
a business scaling fast in a security-conscious market, Onyx needed a reliable partner to help strengthen and
modernise its cloud infrastructure while maintaining flexibility and cost-efficiency.
The Challenge
Onyx had recently implemented a basic Azure-based network hub but recognised the need for a more
structured and compliant environment to support future growth. With a third-party security audit on the horizon
and minimal internal overhead for network architecture, Onyx needed:
- A robust and scalable Azure Network Hub
- Enhanced security and compliance aligned to Microsoft’s Well-Architected Framework
- A partner who could work collaboratively with internal teams while keeping delivery fast and costeffective
- Support with minimal take-on friction and the flexibility to scale support over time
Our Solution
IJYI was engaged to design and implement a production-ready Azure Network Hub. Key phases included –
- Discovery & Design Workshop: Review of Onyx’s current Azure environment, collaborative planning for networking, compliance, and monitoring
- Lightweight High-Level Design Document: Purposefully lean to reduce cost and prioritise implementation
- Implementation Phase: Deployment of core Azure components including Virtual WAN, VPNs, Virtual Hub, Security Groups, Key Vault, Bastion, and Monitoring
- Transition Phase: Handover and knowledge transfer for Onyx’s internal teams
- Optional Warranty Period: Short-term guidance post-implementation
The engagement was completed fully remotely, with minimal disruption to Onyx’s operations.
The Results
Modern, scalable Azure Network Hub delivered on time and aligned with Onyx’s security and operational needs Seamless transition into a managed support relationship with IJYI Take-on fees waived in exchange for this case study and long-term collaboration Foundation for future growth with extensibility for new environments, services, and compliance demands Ongoing strategic support including minor change management, Azure health checks, and troubleshooting
What’s Next
Now under a managed support contract with IJYI, Onyx Gaming benefits from dedicated technical backup,
proactive monitoring, and the flexibility to scale services as their platform evolves.
“It was a pleasure working with IJYI as they implemented our company network, after designing it to meet the
rigorous regulatory standards of our industry. This ensured we were set on the right track to meet our ambitious
growth goals. Workshops were productive and considerate of our unique requirements, and the new network
was delivered with care and with high quality documentation.” – Roger Creyke – Chief Operating Officer, Onyx Gaming
