Cloud infrastructure decisions are among the most expensive to reverse. The right storage architecture, backup strategy, and cloud placement depend on what you run, how you use it, and what you cannot afford to lose. We help you figure that out before you sign anything.
Not every workload belongs in public cloud, and not every application performs well when it gets there. Organizations that moved everything to AWS or Azure without a workload assessment often end up with performance problems, unexpected egress costs, and a migration back to colocation or private cloud that costs more than the original move.
Most organizations have a backup. Fewer have tested it. Even fewer have a documented, tested recovery process that would actually hold up during a real incident. The backup you have not tested is not a backup, it is a feeling of security.
Public cloud is easy to start and hard to control. Reserved instances expire, unused resources accumulate, and storage costs compound in ways that were not in the original business case. Cloud spend becomes one of the top three IT cost line items before anyone realizes it needs to be managed actively.
We evaluate your applications and workloads against performance requirements, compliance constraints, cost models, and recovery objectives to determine the right mix of public cloud, private cloud, colocation, and managed hosting. Some workloads belong in AWS. Some belong in a Tier 3 data center. Many belong in a hybrid that most vendors are not incentivized to recommend.
We design storage architectures that match your performance, scalability, and cost requirements. Object storage, block storage, file storage, and cold archival storage each have the right use cases. We build architectures that use the right tier for each workload rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
We design and source backup and DR solutions with defined recovery time and recovery point objectives that actually meet your business requirements. We document the recovery process, test it before the contract is signed, and make sure you have a plan that would hold up on the worst day your IT team has ever had.
When workloads need to move out of your building but not into public cloud, colocation gives you the physical security, power redundancy, and carrier-neutral interconnection that enterprise applications require. We source colocation from providers like Equinix, Digital Realty, CoreSite, and regional operators, matching footprint requirements to the right facility.
Public cloud environments require active management to stay secure, optimized, and cost-controlled. We source and oversee managed cloud providers who handle patching, monitoring, optimization, and security in your cloud environment so your team is not trying to develop deep AWS or Azure expertise on top of everything else.
We analyze your current cloud spend, identify waste and right-sizing opportunities, evaluate reserved instance and savings plan commitments, and build a cost management practice that keeps your cloud spend predictable. Most clients see 15 to 25 percent in cost reductions after a thorough optimization engagement.
We inventory your workloads, current hosting environments, storage architecture, backup posture, and costs. Most assessments surface surprises, whether that is workloads in expensive cloud tiers that do not need to be there, backup configurations that would fail a real recovery test, or cost growth that nobody has been tracking.
We design a cloud and storage architecture that meets your performance, compliance, recovery, and cost requirements. We model multiple options with real pricing before recommending anything, and we are explicit about the trade-offs so you make the decision with full information.
We manage provider selection, contract negotiation, and migration planning. We stay engaged through the migration and remain your escalation point with every provider afterward so you are never navigating a support organization alone when something matters.
Not where the loudest vendor suggested, but where the analysis points based on your actual performance and cost requirements.
A documented, tested recovery process with defined RTOs and RPOs that reflect what your business actually needs to survive an incident.
An active cost management practice that keeps cloud spend in line with your budget and identifies waste before it compounds.
Cloud and colocation providers evaluated on your requirements, not on who has the best sales team or the most recognizable brand.
Public cloud providers have enormous marketing budgets and a compelling message. We are not arguing against public cloud, it is the right answer for many workloads. Our value is in the word "right." We evaluate public cloud, private cloud, colocation, and hybrid architectures against your actual requirements and tell you honestly where each workload belongs. That independence saves money and avoids expensive reversals.
We analyze your cloud spend, architecture, and storage environment to surface waste, identify consolidation opportunities, and close the gap between what you pay for and what you need.
We start with an honest assessment of where you are and give you a clear picture of where you should be. No vendor agenda, no preferred platform.
