Cloud Services
Workloads running where they belong, with cost, security and data residency decided deliberately rather than by default.
Cloud architecture, migration and managed operation — sized to your workload and priced so the bill does not surprise anyone.
What this service is usually brought in to fix
Lift-and-shift produced a bigger bill and the same problems
Virtual machines moved unchanged into cloud cost more than the hardware did, and none of the resilience improved.
Data residency was never confirmed
Regulated data ended up in a region nobody checked, and the position is discovered during an audit rather than a design review.
No exit plan
Deep dependence on proprietary managed services makes the eventual cost of leaving impossible to estimate.
What the service covers
- Cloud readiness assessment and workload placement analysis
- Migration planning and execution with rollback
- Landing zone, network and identity design
- Cost modelling, rightsizing and ongoing optimisation
- High availability, backup and disaster recovery configuration
- Managed cloud operations under agreed service levels
What you receive
- Workload assessment with placement and cost model
- Target architecture and migration runbook
- Configured environments with identity and network controls
- Backup, recovery and monitoring configuration
- Cost dashboard and optimisation review cadence
How the work runs
Each stage produces something reviewable, so scope, risk and progress stay visible to your team throughout.
Assess
Classify workloads by data sensitivity, dependency, performance profile and regulatory constraint before deciding placement.
Model
Produce a realistic run-cost model including egress, storage growth and support, and compare it against staying put.
Migrate
Move in waves, lowest-risk first, with rollback available and each wave verified before the next begins.
Optimise
Rightsize after real usage data arrives, and review cost, security posture and recovery objectives on a set cadence.
Where we apply it
- Government workloads with residency requirements
- Financial services
- Healthcare and education institutions
- Enterprise and SME modernisation
The controls that apply
- Data residency and sovereignty requirements confirmed in writing before migration.
- Identity federation, MFA on privileged accounts and least-privilege roles as standard.
- Encryption in transit and at rest, with key management responsibilities documented.
Frequently asked
If your question is not here, ask it directly — we would rather answer it before a proposal than after a contract.
Ask a questionYes. We design for local or on-premise hosting where residency is required, and use cloud selectively for workloads that are permitted to leave. The classification is agreed and documented before anything moves.
