Cloud Solutions

We design, migrate and run cloud infrastructure on Microsoft Azure and AWS. Secure foundations, predictable costs and environments that are built as code – so your platform scales with the business instead of slowing it down.

Landing zones & architecture

Secure, well-architected foundations with identity, networking, policies and governance ready before the first workload arrives.

Migration & modernization

Moving servers, databases and applications to Azure or AWS in planned waves – with minimal downtime and a clear rollback path.

Security, resilience & cost

Zero-trust networking, backup and disaster recovery that is tested, and FinOps practices that keep the monthly bill under control.

What we do in the cloud

  • Cloud architecture – designs based on the Azure Well-Architected Framework and AWS Well-Architected: reliability, security, cost optimization, operational excellence and performance.
  • Landing zones – management groups or AWS Organizations, subscriptions and accounts, RBAC, Azure Policy / Service Control Policies, tagging and naming standards, all deployed with Terraform.
  • Networking – hub-and-spoke or Virtual WAN topologies, VPN and ExpressRoute / Direct Connect, private endpoints, DNS, firewalls and web application firewalls.
  • Identity & access – Active Directory, Microsoft Entra ID, AWS IAM and IAM Identity Center, single sign-on, conditional access, privileged identity management and least-privilege roles.
  • Compute & containers – virtual machines, scale sets, App Service, Azure Container Apps, AWS ECS and Lambda, and managed Kubernetes (AKS, EKS).
  • Databases & storage – SQL Server and Azure SQL, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cosmos DB and Amazon RDS, Blob Storage and S3 with lifecycle policies.
  • Golden images – hardened, versioned Windows and Linux images for Azure, AWS and on-premises, built automatically with Packer.

Cloud migration

We use a proven approach based on the Cloud Adoption Framework and the 6 Rs of migration – rehost, replatform, refactor, repurchase, retire and retain – so every workload gets the treatment that makes sense for it, not a one-size-fits-all “lift and shift”.

  1. Assess – inventory of servers, applications and dependencies, licensing and TCO calculation.
  2. Plan – target architecture, migration waves, cut-over and rollback plans.
  3. Migrate – Azure Migrate, AWS Application Migration Service and Database Migration Service, with test migrations before go-live.
  4. Optimize – right-sizing, autoscaling, reserved instances and savings plans after the move.

From data center to cloud

Most companies don’t start from zero. We know on-premises infrastructure from the inside – VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, Windows Server and Linux estates of hundreds or even thousands of servers – and we plan the move with that reality in mind. Some systems go to the cloud as they are, some are replaced with managed services, and some stay on-premises, managed with the same code and pipelines as the cloud.

Security and compliance

Security is built into the platform, not added at the end: Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub and GuardDuty, Key Vault and Secrets Manager, encryption at rest and in transit, and policies that block non-compliant resources. We help you prepare for ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA and GDPR requirements with audit-ready configuration and documentation.

Backup and disaster recovery

We define RPO and RTO targets with you and build the backup and recovery to match – Azure Backup and Site Recovery, AWS Backup, cross-region replication and multi-zone deployments. And we test it regularly, because a recovery plan that was never tested is only a hope.

Cost optimization (FinOps)

Cloud spend should be visible and predictable. We set up budgets and alerts, cost allocation by tags, right-sizing and scheduling of non-production environments, and reservations or savings plans. In environments that have never been optimized, savings of 20–40% are common – without touching performance.

Managed cloud operations

After go-live we can take care of day-to-day operations: monitoring and alerting, patching, backup checks, security reviews, capacity planning and monthly cost reports – with a clear SLA and a single point of contact.

Deployment models

  • Public cloud – fast to start, pay-as-you-go, fully managed services.
  • Private cloud – dedicated resources for strict control or compliance needs.
  • Hybrid cloud – keep selected systems on-premises with Azure Arc or AWS Outposts while moving the rest.
  • Multi-cloud – use several providers to avoid lock-in or reach specific services.

The right provider for the job

We work with Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services every day, and with Google Cloud when a project needs it. Each has its strengths, and we help you pick – or combine – the platforms that fit your requirements rather than the other way round.

Results from our experience

  • Migration from Rackspace to AWS for a US SaaS company – infrastructure delivered in hours instead of days.
  • Legacy, server-based solutions replaced with cloud-native services – 30% lower cloud costs and 99.99% availability.
  • Regulated (GxP/GAMP) pharmaceutical environments on Azure, AWS and on-premises – hundreds of servers managed as code and ready for audits.

A foundation for DevOps, data and AI

A well-designed cloud is what everything else runs on. Our landing zones are ready for DevOps pipelines and Kubernetes, data platforms on Azure Databricks and Microsoft Fabric, and AI solutions on Azure AI Foundry from day one.

Frequently asked questions

Azure or AWS – which one should we choose?

It depends on what you already use and what you need. Companies built around Microsoft 365, Active Directory and Windows workloads often get the most from Azure, while AWS has a very broad service catalogue and is a natural choice for many SaaS products. We work with both every day and can also design a multi-cloud setup when it makes sense.

How long does a cloud migration take?

A small environment can be migrated in a few weeks. Larger estates are moved in planned waves over several months. A 1–2 week assessment gives you a realistic timeline, cost estimate and migration plan before anything is moved.

Will moving to the cloud reduce our costs?

It can, but not automatically. Moving oversized servers one to one often costs more than on-premises. Savings come from right-sizing, autoscaling, reservations and replacing servers with managed services – which we plan from the start, not after the first invoice.

Can we keep some systems on-premises?

Yes. Many of our clients run hybrid environments. Systems that must stay on-premises are managed with the same Infrastructure as Code, configuration management and monitoring as the cloud, for example with Azure Arc.

Do you also run the environment after the migration?

Yes. We offer managed cloud operations – monitoring, patching, backup checks, security and cost reviews – with a clear SLA. You can also take over operations yourself after a knowledge transfer.
