Cloud Consulting
We assess which systems belong in the cloud, plan and deliver the work, and document the costs and handover. Projects can include servers, hosting, networking, and the physical setup for an office move.
The aim is knowing what exists, where it runs, and what it costs, by reading rather than guessing.
- A server is reaching end of life
- The cloud bill keeps growing
- Something needs reaching from outside the office
- The office is moving
Which parts move, and when
Moving everything is rarely right, and moving nothing is rarely right either. Sorting one from the other is the first job. A server that is still supported and doing its work is a different case from a backup nobody has ever restored from, and age alone does not settle it.
The second job is knowing the monthly cost before anything is committed, because that is the part that tends to surprise people. Every project ends with a written handover of how things are now arranged.
Usually earns the move
Worth weighing first
- What belongs in the cloud and what does not, decided before it moves
- Retiring an aging on-premises server
- Hosting and networking set up so it can be handed over
- Cabling, physical installation, and office moves
- Backup and disaster recovery that has been restored from, not assumed
- Remote access without opening the network to the internet
- Running-cost review, so the monthly figure is known in advance
- Written handover of how it is now arranged
- Custom cloud application build
- Data warehousing and analytics platforms
- Ongoing support, which is Managed IT Services
