Talk to an architect

Cloud

Cloud architecture built for scale, resilience and cost control.

Cloud strategy, landing zones and migration from on-premises or another provider, staged behind validation gates with rollback agreed in advance.

Talk to an architect What is included

Sound familiar

Where this usually starts.

Cloud bills grow quietly and architectures age loudly. We design and migrate cloud environments that hold up under production load, meet availability targets and stay economically sane, whether that means one platform done properly or a deliberate multicloud footprint. Every migration starts from the workloads, their dependencies and their data, so the order of moves follows risk rather than convenience.

Tick the ones that sound like your situation.

Scope

What is included.

  • Strategy and business case

    Which workloads move, where and why, with the costs compared honestly.

  • Discovery and dependency mapping

    Applications, data flows and dependencies found before anything moves.

  • Landing zone

    Accounts, networks, identity, guardrails and logging in place before the first workload.

  • Migration waves

    Rehost, replatform or refactor decided per workload, and sequenced by risk.

  • Cutover

    Staged cutovers behind validation gates, with rollback criteria agreed in advance.

  • Optimization

    Right-sizing and commitments once workloads have settled.

Reference architecture

A cloud estate with one design, from the edge to the second region.

Strategy and migration shape the cloud architecture from its edges in: where your users and customers reach the estate, and the identity and policy foundation of the landing zone every workload moves into.

What this service delivers here

  • Users and customers

    Wherever they are, on whatever device.

  • Identity and policy

    Guardrails every new account inherits: who can do what, and where.

Walk through every flow in Cloud

Before you start

Decisions to settle early.

  • Which workloads move

    Not everything belongs in the cloud. Steady, latency-sensitive or recently refreshed workloads may stay; the business case shows which.

  • One provider or several

    One provider is simpler; several reduce dependence and suit specific services. The decision follows your workloads, not a principle.

  • Rehost now or modernize first

    Rehosting meets a deadline; modernizing captures more value. Many programs do the first and then the second.

Approach

How the work runs.

  1. Assess

    Current estate, cost and failure modes

  2. Design

    Target architecture and migration sequence

  3. Migrate

    Staged cutover behind validation gates

  4. Optimize

    Cost and performance tuned after the move

Commercials

How it is bought.

  • A fixed-fee assessment

    We discover applications and dependencies, review costs and contracts, and assess which workloads are worth moving. You receive a disposition view, a business case outline and a fixed price for the migration program.

  • A fixed-price build

    The landing zone and each migration wave are priced before they start, covering cutover, validation and rollback for the workloads named.

  • Running it afterwards

    After the move, workloads can be run by your team or by our managed cloud service, and an optimization review follows once usage settles.

Start with the assessment.

Scope an assessment

Worked example

A VMware renewal that forced the question.

Say a regional bank faces a much higher virtualization renewal and a hardware refresh in the same year, and its board asks whether the cloud is the answer. Nobody holds a current map of which applications depend on which.

  1. Discover

    We discover applications and dependencies from the estate itself and confirm each with its owner, including the batch jobs that tie the core systems together.

  2. Decide

    Each workload is assessed to move, stay or be replaced, and the business case compares the options honestly, including those that stay on premises.

  3. Prepare

    A landing zone with identity, networking, logging and the regulator's residency requirements is built as code before any workload moves.

  4. Migrate

    Workloads move in waves ordered by risk, each cutover rehearsed, with rollback criteria agreed with the application owners.

At the end, the bank runs each workload where it makes sense, can show its regulator where data lives, and has a landing zone ready for whatever moves next.

An illustration

An illustration, not a client account.

Where it goes wrong

What we design out.

  • Lifting everything as it is

    Workloads moved without change often cost more in the cloud than before. Each workload gets its own disposition: move, change, replace or stay.

  • Moving before the foundation exists

    Workloads that land before identity, networking and logging are in place get fixed afterwards. The landing zone comes first.

  • Ordering by convenience

    Migrating the easiest systems first can strand dependencies. Waves follow dependencies and risk.

Outcomes

What it changes.

  • Resilience with a recovery story

    Zones, regions, backups and failover paths are designed around the recovery objectives your business can defend.

  • Repeatable change

    Infrastructure is versioned, reviewed and reproducible, so delivery does not depend on a console session or one person's memory.

  • Cost that is explainable

    Spend is connected to workloads and owners instead of arriving as a monthly surprise.

How you will know it is working

  • Each workload runs where the business case said it should.
  • Cutovers finish without using their rollback.
  • Cloud spend after migration matches the business case within its stated assumptions.
  • You can show a regulator where data lives after the move.

You keep

What you have at the end.

    Builds the business case and checks the costs after the move.

What we need from you

  • Access to the current estate for discovery.
  • Application owners for each workload.
  • Contract and renewal dates for data centers, hardware and licences.
  • Your regulatory and residency requirements.

Questions

Questions we get asked.

Can you modernize an existing cloud environment rather than start over?

Yes. We begin by mapping the current estate, its dependencies and its operational risks, then sequence improvements so critical workloads are not destabilized by the cleanup.

Can you migrate without a maintenance window?

Often, and the answer depends on your data layer rather than your application. We design the cutover around what your stateful services can tolerate, stage it behind validation gates and agree explicit rollback criteria before a date is committed.

Do you hand over infrastructure we can run ourselves?

Yes. Infrastructure is delivered as code in your repository, with runbooks and a knowledge transfer session. If you later want us to operate it, that is a separate managed service, not a dependency designed into the build.

What if our team disagrees with the architecture you propose?

The findings state trade-offs rather than resolving them quietly, so the disagreement happens over evidence. We have changed recommendations on that basis, and a client decision to go a different way is a legitimate outcome.

Should we rehost, replatform or refactor?

It is decided for each workload. Rehosting moves an application as it is and is quickest; replatforming moves its runtime or database to a managed service; refactoring changes the application itself. Most estates use all three, and the choice follows the value of each application and how long it has left to run.

What is a landing zone?

The foundation of a cloud environment: account structure, networking, identity, security guardrails, logging and cost controls, set up before workloads arrive. Building it first means every workload lands somewhere already secure and governed, rather than being fixed afterwards.

How do you handle databases during migration?

With replication from the old database to the new one while the application keeps running, so the final cutover is short and the data is already validated. The method depends on the database engine and how much change it can tolerate, and it is rehearsed before the real cutover.

Which cloud provider should we choose?

The one whose services, regions, contract terms and skills market fit your workloads, and sometimes more than one. We work across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud and compare them on your requirements, including where your data must live and what your team already knows.
