Platform Automation for Enterprise IT
The merger is done. 47 new servers in the network. No one knows their configuration state. Your CISO wants a full overview by end of quarter.
In enterprise structures, many teams run similar platforms in completely different ways. Every merger, every reorganization, every cloud migration multiplies the inconsistency. lennlay brings a shared standard: defined baselines, automated rollout, and continuous operation.
The Scale Crisis: When Inconsistency Becomes a Systemic Issue
The problem in enterprise IT is not one badly configured platform. It is many teams, many standards, and events that continue to multiply the inconsistency.
15 Teams, 15 Tomcat Configurations
Every team installed Tomcat their own way. Different connector configs, different versions, different security postures. Run a security scan across the full estate: 200 open findings. Nobody knows which ones are real, which have already been fixed, and which have existed for years.
The Merger: 47 New Servers
The acquired company brings 47 new servers. Configuration state: unknown. Security posture: unknown. Integrating them into existing monitoring is impossible because there is no shared baseline to check against. Your CISO is waiting for an overview that nobody can deliver.
Cloud Meets On-Premises
New teams run Kubernetes and containers. Legacy systems stay on JBoss and RHEL. No shared standard. The cloud team's golden images have nothing to do with the manually maintained configs on-premises. Two worlds, no common ground, and no audit evidence that covers both.
Knowledge Locked to Individuals
The person who configured the JBoss cluster four years ago is no longer with the company. Nobody knows why those settings are the way they are. Configuration knowledge lives with individual admins, not in the system. A proper handover is impossible because the current state is nowhere machine-readable.
What Standard Automation Means at Enterprise Scale
Enterprise-scale standardization is not a project with an end date. It is an operating model that structurally prevents inconsistency from taking hold.
What Platforms Run Where?
Baseline discovery across the full estate. Which versions? What configuration state? Which deviations from the target standard? Not a scope statement, but a fact base for everything that follows.
One Target State, Not Many
Not a per-team standard -- an enterprise standard. Referenced against CIS Benchmarks, NIST, or internal policies. Versioned, auditable, binding. Defined as code, not as a document.
Automated Estate-Wide Rollout
lennlay.jboss, lennlay.tomcat, and lennlay.core Ansible Collections apply the baseline to every instance. Not team by team -- enterprise-wide rollout, reproducible in every environment.
Drift Detection as Standard Practice
Every new server, every change is checked against the enterprise baseline. A new M&A target: onboarding is a scan, not a manual inventory. Deviations surface before they become an audit issue.
Platform Overview for Enterprise IT
lennlay standardizes the platform landscape that actually exists in enterprise structures: JBoss, Tomcat, RHEL, and the shared services that all teams rely on.
JBoss EAP
In ProgressEnterprise middleware operated in a standardized and reproducible way. lennlay.jboss Collection applies auditable configurations across all instances -- from the dev cluster to production.
Learn moreApache Tomcat
In ProgressConnector hardening, manager protection, security headers. lennlay.tomcat Collection resolves the findings the security scanner surfaces -- estate-wide, not instance by instance.
Learn moreLinux / RHEL
In ProgressOS baseline, SELinux, update management. lennlay.core Collection brings the operating system to the defined security state and keeps it there.
Learn moreGIaaS
In ProgressPolicy-governed, hardened base images for RHEL, Tomcat, JBoss EAP, and Apache HTTP Server. The enterprise baseline as a managed service: one shared foundation for every team.

Why 15 Teams Cannot Maintain 15 Different Base Images
Every team maintaining its own hardened base images is, in effect, maintaining its own standard. That ends any chance of an enterprise-wide standard before it even begins.
GIaaS delivers a centrally managed, policy-governed baseline that all teams build on. New servers get the baseline on day one, not after six months of manual rollout. A new M&A target is not inventoried manually -- it is scanned and integrated into the standard.
The result is not an image file. It is security, accountability, and audit confidence: a verifiable, reproducible starting point that all teams share and that nobody has to build themselves.
GIaaS in detailGIaaS does not sell images. GIaaS sells security, accountability, and audit peace of mind.
New server, new M&A target, new environment -- the baseline is available immediately.
All teams build on the same foundation. No team has its own standard.
Versioned, policy-governed, verifiable. Documentation, not gut feeling.
3 Enterprise Situations Where Standardization Is the Deciding Factor
Enterprise IT does not operate in stable states. Mergers, reorganizations, and compliance audits force decisions that cannot be made without a shared baseline.
New Company, Unknown State
The acquired company is now in the network. Integrate platforms, define the security posture, connect monitoring -- all at once. Without a shared baseline, every integration starts from zero: manual inventory, manual assessment, manual rollout. lennlay turns that into a scan and a structured onboarding process.
Decentralized Teams, Central Standard
Decentralized teams are being centralized. Each had its own standards, its own documentation, its own configuration logic. Consolidating onto a single enterprise platform without interrupting production is only possible with a baseline that was defined as an enterprise standard from the start.
Audit Evidence Across the Estate
Initial or renewed ISO 27001 audit. Technical controls must be demonstrable -- not for one platform, but estate-wide. lennlay delivers the evidence: automated compliance checks against defined policies, exportable reports, and a complete change history.
Enterprise Projects Need Expert Capacity That Scales
Enterprise projects -- M&A integration, platform migration, ISO 27001 preparation -- frequently require short-term expert capacity that cannot be covered by new hires alone.
Assessment Sprint
Baseline discovery across the full estate. Identify gaps against the target standard, set priorities, build the action plan. Structured output for your CISO and your internal audit function.
Migration Projects
WebSphere to JBoss EAP, VM to container, grown landscape to standardized target platform. With defined transition states and reproducible steps your team can run independently after the project ends.
M&A Onboarding
New company, new servers, unknown state. Our team handles inventory, baseline definition, and the rollout of the enterprise standard to all newly integrated systems.
Our team: Marcel König (RHCA/RHCE, Lead), Matthias Siegl (RHCE, full-time), Benjamin Strebel (RHCE, Windows specialist, full-time).
