Home/Services/Cloud Infrastructure
Cloud done right. From day one.
Microsoft Azure and AWS — designed, moved over, and looked after for you. Cost-optimized, locked down, and aligned to the security standards your industry cares about — built for businesses growing beyond a single office and server room.
Why it matters
Cloud isn't free. But it should pay for itself.
Cloud rewards good design and punishes shortcuts. Most small and mid-sized businesses pay 30-50% more than they should because the cloud was set up "to work" — not designed to grow, stay safe, and run efficiently.
We design, move, and run your cloud the way a Fortune 500 IT team would — with the same discipline around cost, security, and quality, sized to your business.
What's included
Design. Move. Run.
From whiteboard to running smoothly — with documentation that stays useful even after staff turnover.
Design
Designs for how people sign in, how your network is laid out, what runs where, where data lives, and how it's protected. Built around your real work — not generic templates.
Migration
Moving from your own server room to Microsoft Azure, AWS, or Microsoft 365. Servers, file shares to SharePoint and OneDrive, email moves, and single sign-on — with backout plans we've actually tested.
Cost control
Matching what you pay for to what you actually use, signing you up for the discounts that apply, and cleaning up things nobody is using anymore.
Lock down security
Sign-in protection first, then a network laid out so nothing can wander where it shouldn't, encryption for stored data, and proper handling of passwords and keys. Set up so you're ready for a SOC 2 audit when you need one.
Day-to-day management
We watch your cloud setup around the clock — is it up, is it fast, is it safe, is it on-budget — with after-hours coverage available for businesses that need it. Quarterly reviews where you see the numbers that matter, not screenshots of green checkmarks.
Disaster recovery
Written targets for how fast you can be back up and how much data you can afford to lose. Backups tested, restores actually performed, and recovery playbooks rehearsed. Recovery isn't a button you push — it's a process you practice.
Common scenarios
Common cloud projects.
Most cloud projects fall into one of a few patterns. Each one has a defined approach — here's what they look like so you know what you're getting into.
Common questions
Frequently asked.
Should we move our servers to the cloud?
It depends. Some things are great in the cloud; others are cheaper or simpler to keep in your own office or a colocation site. Our review looks at total cost over five years, not just "can it run in the cloud." We give you the honest answer either way.
Microsoft Azure or AWS — which is better for a small business?
For most small and mid-sized businesses already using Microsoft 365, Azure is the natural fit because sign-ins and licensing line up. AWS makes sense for software companies, larger engineering teams, or specific workloads. We work fluently with both and recommend based on your situation, not a vendor preference.
Will moving to the cloud actually save money?
Sometimes, with discipline. Cloud rewards good design and punishes shortcuts. Cloud bills are often twice what they should be — usually because nobody set up the cost controls when it was first built. Done right, cloud can absolutely be cheaper — especially when you factor in not buying and replacing hardware every few years.
How long does a typical cloud migration take?
Most small and mid-sized business migrations take 4-12 weeks depending on scope. Email moves alone can be 2-4 weeks. Moving servers from your office to Microsoft Azure or AWS as-is is typically 8-12 weeks. We always run a discovery phase first to give you a realistic timeline.
What happens to our existing Microsoft 365 setup?
We review it, lock it down, optimize the licensing, and then run it as part of your setup. Most Microsoft 365 accounts are paying for more licenses than they need, and have security settings that should have been turned on years ago. We document everything before we change anything.
