Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure

Cloud migration, hybrid environment design, and ongoing cloud infrastructure management. Microsoft Azure and AWS — full-cycle delivery from assessment to long-term support.

Capabilities and Expertise

Microsoft Azure

Deployment of IaaS services such as virtual machines, virtual networks, and storage, as well as PaaS services including App Service, Azure SQL, and AKS. Entra ID, Azure Virtual Desktop, Azure Backup, and ExpressRoute setup for private connectivity.

Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Implementation of AWS services including EC2, S3, RDS, VPC, CloudFront, and Lambda. Design of Multi-AZ environments for high availability and centralized governance through AWS Organizations.

Cloud Migration

Cloud Readiness Assessment and selection of the right migration strategy: rehost, replatform, or refactor. Migration of servers, databases, and applications with parallel operation of both environments during transition.

Hybrid Environments

Azure Arc for centralized management of on-premises resources through Azure, and Azure Stack HCI as a local cloud platform. A single control plane for both on-prem and cloud workloads.

FinOps and Cost Optimization

Audit of current cloud spending, identification of underused resources, and optimization through Reserved Instances and Savings Plans. Azure Cost Management and AWS Cost Explorer typically help reduce spend by 20–35%.

Cloud Security and Compliance

Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, identity-based access control, encryption of data at rest and in transit, access auditing, and cloud security posture management.

Delivery Process

01
Cloud Readiness Assessment

Assessment of the current infrastructure, TCO analysis of on-premises versus cloud, and selection of the migration strategy.

02
Architecture Design

Design of the landing zone, networking, IAM, backup, and disaster recovery strategy in the cloud.

03
Migration

Phased transition approach: first dev/test, then production, with both environments running in parallel where required.

04
Support and Optimization

Monitoring, cost optimization, security hardening, and architecture updates as workloads evolve.

Typical Client Scenarios

  • Data center exit and migration away from owned infrastructure
  • Scaling for seasonal or variable workloads
  • Cloud-based disaster recovery for on-premises systems
  • New applications built directly in the cloud (cloud-native)
  • Hybrid model: sensitive data on-prem, the rest in Azure or AWS
