Microsoft Azure
Virtual machines, networking, storage and managed services: infrastructure, platform and software as a service in one cloud.
Service
Cloud Infrastructure & Automation
Whether you are moving to the cloud for the first time or modernising an environment that has grown organically over the years, we design, migrate, automate and manage the infrastructure underneath your business - so it stays secure, resilient and easy to change.
Scope
What this includes
A cloud infrastructure engagement typically covers:
- Cloud architecture and platform selection across Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud
- Migration of existing workloads, and modernisation of infrastructure that has grown organically over time
- Microsoft 365 and Entra ID setup, including identity and access management
- Secure networking, including VPN connectivity between sites and users
- Automated, repeatable deployment pipelines in place of manual configuration
- Ongoing architecture reviews as your environment and requirements change
Platforms
Tools for cloud solutions
We work with the platforms most European businesses already rely on, and design them to work together.
Microsoft 365
Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel and online storage, set up and managed so your team can work securely from anywhere.
Microsoft Entra ID
Central identity and access management: users, groups, devices and sign-in policies managed in one place.
VPN and networking
Encrypted connections between offices, remote staff and cloud resources, so data stays protected wherever people work.
Google Cloud
Architecture and migration for workloads that belong on Google Cloud, designed to the same standards.
Automated deployments
Infrastructure as code and deployment pipelines that make every change repeatable, reviewable and safe.
Why the cloud
What cloud services change for your business
Moving to the cloud is not only a technical decision. Done well, it changes how quickly and safely your business can move.
Lower, predictable costs
Pay for the capacity you use instead of buying, housing and maintaining hardware up front.
Access from anywhere
Your team reaches the systems and data it needs securely, from the office, from home or on the road.
Scalability on demand
Add or remove capacity in minutes as your business grows or your workload changes with the seasons.
Security of the provider
Build on the physical and network security of the largest cloud platforms, with data availability from any location.
Who this is for
Who this is for
This service suits organisations running, or planning to run, workloads in the cloud who want an architecture that is deliberately designed rather than accumulated - from a company making its first move away from on-premises infrastructure, to one that already uses Azure or Google Cloud but wants automation and governance put in place around it.
How we scope the work
A typical engagement starts with a review of your current environment, or your goals if you are starting from a blank slate, followed by a proposed architecture and a scoped plan for the work involved. Migration and build-out then proceed in agreed stages, with automation built in as we go rather than added afterwards, and documentation handed over so your team can operate and extend the environment independently.
