Most environments were moved to Azure one-to-one and never redesigned. Then you pay cloud prices for a server rack. We design, migrate and run Azure environments that do what the cloud is good at: scale, switch off what isn't running, and be secure from day one.
There are still servers in the office and the admin is retiring. The cloud bill is higher than promised. The company is growing, merging or opening a second site. Or you are even considering moving back because the cloud turned out 'too expensive'.
We draw the target environment based on what your business needs, not on what is there now. Including a cost estimate up front.
Workload by workload, with a fallback. You'll notice it less than the next outage on that old server.
Monitoring, patching, cost control and the security baseline, with backup as a clear separate item per server. An outage costs us money, not you. That changes how we build.
What can be switched off, what can be smaller, what needs to change. We re-examine the cloud bill every quarter, unprompted.
"Being in the cloud is not the same as using the cloud well."Remy Cavo, Remarx
Management consists of a fixed platform base plus an amount per server or resource. In our calculator you can build your own environment and see a monthly figure straight away, including backup and optional monitoring.
Yes. Azure consumption runs through your own subscription or through our partnership; our amount covers the management. That way you always see what the cloud costs and what management costs — and we watch consumption in your interest, not ours.
A landing zone is the foundation of your Azure environment: networking, identity, separation of environments and cost control. Even a small environment needs it, otherwise something grows that is expensive and risky to correct later. We capture that setup as code, so it is documented and rebuildable.
Because we test it. We monitor every backup job daily and once a year we genuinely restore a server, with a written report. A backup that has never been restored is an assumption.
