Design, migration and management of servers and workloads in Azure or AWS, with cost controls.

CLD-02

What this service covers

Moving servers to Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services can remove aging hardware from your office and make remote work easier. Done carelessly, it can also produce a monthly bill larger than the server it replaced.

We design cloud environments sized to your workload, migrate applications and data with planned cutovers, set up Azure Virtual Desktop when staff need a full Windows desktop from anywhere, and monitor spend so the bill stays predictable.
