About the Portal

A modern cloud foundation for ISMT College

The ISMT College Cloud Portal migrates traditional on-premise college systems to Microsoft Azure. Academic records, learning materials, admissions and examinations run on managed Azure services that scale automatically with demand while keeping institutional data protected.

The architecture follows a layered design — a public entry point through Azure Application Gateway, compute on Azure Virtual Machines inside a private Virtual Network, and persistent storage in Azure SQL Database with scheduled Azure Backup protection.

  • Unified Campus Platform

    Every academic and administrative service of ISMT College is consolidated into a single cloud portal hosted on Microsoft Azure.

  • Built for Students & Staff

    Students, lecturers and administrators access the tools they need through role-based access managed by Microsoft Entra ID.

  • Available Anywhere

    Services are delivered from Azure regions with load balancing and failover so the campus stays online from any device.

Azure Services

The Microsoft Azure services behind the portal

Each layer of the deployment maps to a specific Azure service, forming a secure and highly available reference architecture for the college.

Compute

Azure Virtual Machines
Windows and Linux virtual machines host the portal web applications, placed in availability sets for resilience.

Data

Azure SQL Database
Fully managed relational database storing student records, course data, admissions and examination results.

Networking

Azure Virtual Network
Isolated network with public and private subnets, network security groups and controlled inbound traffic.

Delivery

Azure Application Gateway
Layer-7 load balancer with Web Application Firewall and SSL termination for all incoming portal requests.

Resilience

Azure Backup
Automated recovery point creation for virtual machines and databases with configurable retention policies.

Identity

Microsoft Entra ID
Centralised identity provider delivering single sign-on, multi-factor authentication and role-based access.

Benefits

Why the college runs on Azure

Moving campus systems to Microsoft Azure delivers measurable operational advantages over the previous on-premise setup.

Security

WAF + MFA

Microsoft Entra ID enforces multi-factor authentication while network security groups and the Web Application Firewall filter malicious traffic before it reaches the portal.

Scalability

Auto-scale

Virtual machine scale sets add capacity during admission and examination peaks, then scale back down when demand returns to normal levels.

High Availability

99.95% SLA

Application Gateway distributes traffic across healthy instances and Azure Backup provides tested recovery points for disaster scenarios.

Cost Efficiency

Pay-as-you-go

The college pays only for consumed resources, removing hardware purchase, data-centre maintenance and over-provisioning costs.
