Despite the industry general recession due to coronavirus outbreak, Macrologic cloud services MIaaS was able to help clients from various business sectors continue their operation, secure data and roll out business critical application amidst of the Enhanced Community Quarantine mandate by the government.
When ECQ was implemented last March 18, 2020 throughout the country, only those businesses dealing with basic needs and with exemption of BPO’s were allowed to operate. Deliveries of goods and services related to Information Technology became the major challenge with the sprouting military manned checkpoints and varied pandemic policies released by the local government units.
Macrologic Infrastructure as a Service strategy for cloud provides unmatched value to clients during these trying times helping a manpower and professional services company continue its business operation with its application workload for human resource provisioned in MIaaS. The quick and flexible cloud services allowed the customer’s software application to be fully operational in less than a week including web and VPN client access and deployment of dedicated gateway firewall on cloud. Users working from home was able to deliver their tasks efficiently during lockdown. Another client from manufacturing, tapped MIaaS for it critical data that needs to be stored and accessed remotely by its users. The simple file server architecture was up and running in an hour instance, making possible for users to access data securely whenever they needed to specially during the ECQ wherein work from home became the workforce model.
Furthermore, a leading retail and distribution company locally has plan to roll-out S4 HANA enterprise resource planning software as early as Q1, 2020. The internal process caused delays in the decision for the hardware infrastructure thus moved to Q2, 2020. With the immediate requirement to deploy sandbox to use by the SAP provider, Macrologic was able to provision the S4 HANA cloud infrastructure in MIaaS ahead of the given timeline, allowing users to start working immediately on file transfer and application configuration in the middle of the ongoing pandemic and public mobility restrictions.
MIaaS for cloud is owned and operated by Macrologic with Infrastructure as a Services model for virtual compute and storage, network and security, analytics and managed services.

A start of a Decade
In an annual business planning conducted by Macrologic Diversified Technologies Inc. held in The Bayleaf Cavite, last January 31 to February1, 2020, the top management lays out a decade plan comprising various strategies and objectives to start in the year 2020 until the end of 2029. Attended by the Business Unit and Department Heads from the five branches, the 2-day yearly strategic planning sets the first ever long term business goal of the company.
Macrologic, with its incorporation in May 2012, is considered one of the fastest growing IT players in the IT industry with offices located in Cavite, Manila, Pampanga, Cebu, Bacolod and Iloilo. Its aggressive business approach banks on technical expertise and technology infrastructure that the company continues to invest on. In the first quarter of 2018, it has piloted the development of its own Data Center Facility for cloud services, pioneering the country for the said IT business model, known today as MIaaS Cloud.
Among the objectives that the company wishes to achieve for the current year is the implementation of the web based HRIS system and the new company website with more intuitive and interactive design. Likewise, it targets to further expand market presence regionally by establishing offices in Davao, Bicol, CDO and Subic until 2025. The Mandaluyong branch is also set to move to the City of Makati by then where the company has acquired its owned office area; the future Macrologic Business Centre as it expects to engage more with enterprise, multi-national and international level clients given the diversified strategies in place.
Highlighted in the event was the development of its land property in Amadeo, Cavite with the early plan to offer for lease the commercialized façade area and further establish various business facilities such as BPO offices and another Data Center for MIaaS Cloud. Macrologic envisions the site as future Macrologic Technology Center, the centerpiece of the launched decade business goal.
“The year 2020 is the ideal start for Macrologic 10-year journey, covering the new decade of both challenges and opportunities but can simply address by hard work and collaboration. I’m quite optimistic that with the help of our dedicated leaders and talented employees, we can finish the race track successfully. We have seeds already planted, we just need them grow to trees and bear fruits. This is now a legacy I speak of being the first generation of this organization. Everyone sits here is part of the journey so be part also of the legacy”, said by its CEO & President Armando R. Menta. He is also the founder of Macrologic Diversified Technologies Inc.
Macrologic, In Making The Difference
Information Technology has been in the rise for more than two decades (as I consider the start of my IT career in 1997) but its pinnacle is far from what the industry has achieved so far today. Looking back at its radical evolution, one may have difficulty catching up if you’re not part of such historic rise unless you network with IT practitioners that have been successfully cemented their space in the industry as an individual or as an organization in general.
Macrologic strategy comes along with the IT evolution though its focus of expertise has not changed but rather just continue to evolve. With the server technology to start its endeavor, the company has dynamically adapted every era of innovation helping customers effectively deploy and maximize the use of their IT assets to achieve cost efficiency and earlier return of investment. From the stand-alone Server Client computing, to the hype of Blade Server and SAN Storage consolidation, and from the basic Server Virtualization to the so called Software Defined Data Center, Macrologic’s adaptive business measures and initiatives are clearly the foundation for its continuous success which is widely recognized in the market nowadays.
While the thing called “cloud” is fast defining the landscape of the IT industry, Macrologic quickly responds by launching MIaaS Data Center in the last quarter of the Y2019. MIaaS or Macrologic Infrastructure as a Service is the very own cloud services offering of Macrologic with a long term plan of expansion ahead. MIaaS, located in Macrologic Corporate Centre in the City of Bacoor, Cavite is built to comply with the Data Center Standards and guidelines provided by EPI, a Singapore based company doing Data Center audit and certification.
With MIaaS in place, local companies now have the option to easily adapt with the cloud computing, breaking the barriers of internet connectivity issues when they subscribe to cloud services from providers abroad. MIaaS is powered by MamaaS (Macrologic Management as a Service) that’s a combination of software tool suite and professional services from Macrologic pool of Certified Engineers for the various brands and technologies for network, security, virtualization, servers and storage. MIaaS portfolio is composed of Virtual and Storage Compute, Software as a Service, Back-up as a Service, Disaster Recovery as a Service and co-location services. It’s architected to easily adapt with the customer business environment and any imposed network access and security policy. A facility designed to address high availability from power back-up, precision air-con, high speed network and internet connectivity.
“Our dream to lead the IT industry by putting the technology itself in the forefront of our business is now becoming a reality. Year on year, significant changes are happening in Macrologic nothing but to improve the products and services we offer to our valued customers. While the competing technology brands are somewhat the same in features and solutions, the way we offer it is different. MIaaS and MamaaS is just another leap. It’s not the first in the industry but how we architect it, the way we deliver and support the cloud services is totally a new customer experience. Our vision simply sees the future, our dreams live with it and our ideas would always become a reality.”
