Cloud Infrastructure Management

Our primary managed platforms are Azure and GCP, where we hold active partner certifications. We can provide monitoring and basic operational support for AWS workloads, but our deepest expertise and fastest support escalation paths are on the Microsoft and Google stacks. If you're evaluating a cloud platform or considering migration, we can have an honest conversation about where each platform fits best for your workloads.

We own the operational layer: provisioning, configuration management, patching, monitoring, cost optimization, backup management, and incident response. You retain ownership of your data, your applications, your architecture decisions, and your vendor relationships. We manage the platform those things run on. In practice, most clients find that delineation straightforward we handle infrastructure, you handle what runs on top of it.

In most environments we assess, yes, typically in the range of 20 to 35 percent within the first 90 days. The most common sources are oversized virtual machines, unattached storage resources, and underutilized reserved capacity. We document every change we make, so you can see exactly what was found and what it saved. Results vary by environment, and we'll give you a realistic estimate after reviewing your current setup.

However makes sense for your structure. Some clients hand us full operational ownership of the cloud layer. Others have internal developers or IT staff who want to stay involved in architecture decisions while we handle day-to-day operations. We've built co-managed arrangements for both scenarios. The key is agreeing on a clear line between what we own and what your team owns before we start, ambiguity there causes friction later.

We start with a cloud assessment, typically one to two weeks, that documents your current resource inventory, identifies configuration gaps, flags security issues, and gives us the baseline we need to manage effectively. From there, the stabilization phase addresses the most critical findings before we transition into steady-state management. Most clients are in a fully managed state within four to six weeks of signing.
