Cloud migration and operations · Across Australia

Out of the server room and onto AWS or Azure, without the outage.

Moving off on-premises servers is mostly a planning problem. We inventory what you actually run, design the landing zone, migrate in an order that keeps the business working, and leave you with a cost model you can defend to the board. AWS or Microsoft Azure, whichever fits your stack.

The migration plan

Moved in waves, each one tested before cutover.

2 to 3 weeks

Assess

Servers, apps, licences and dependencies inventoried, ending in a plan with a monthly running cost.

Set up once

Landing zone

Identity, networking, logging, backups and security baselines, written as code.

Workload by workload

Migrate in waves

Each workload tested in the cloud before cutover, planned around your business hours, with rollback.

30 days

Tune

Right-sizing after the last cutover, then documentation and a decision on ongoing support.

Is this you?

Three signs it's time to fix the underlying system.

01

The server in the cupboard is out of warranty, and the quote to replace it is why you're reading this.

02

You've got Microsoft 365 already and half a foot in Azure, with no plan for the rest.

03

Your last cloud bill surprised you and nobody can explain it.

What we do

What we build and run.

Assessment and plan

Inventory of servers, applications, licences and dependencies. A migration order, target architecture and monthly running cost before anything moves.

Landing zone

Accounts or subscriptions, identity, networking, logging, backups and security baselines set up properly once, as code.

Migration

Lift-and-shift where that's right, re-platform where it pays, retire what nobody uses. Cutover planned around your business hours, with rollback.

Microsoft 365 and identity

Entra ID, Intune and Microsoft 365 configured so the cloud move also fixes the login and device problems.

Cost optimisation and operations

Right-sizing, reserved pricing, tagging and monthly reporting. We can hand it over or keep running it for you as part of managed IT.

How it goes

How it runs.

01

Assess

Two to three weeks of discovery and design, ending in a plan with numbers.

02

Build and migrate

Landing zone first, then workloads in waves, each tested before cutover.

03

Optimise and hand over

Thirty days of tuning after the last cutover, then documentation and a decision on ongoing support.
