Cloud & Data

Cloud Services & Migration

What are Cloud Services?

Cloud services cover moving your applications and data onto a cloud platform, and then running them well once they are there. That means a secure foundation, infrastructure defined as code, and the monitoring and cost controls that keep it healthy.

Moving to the cloud is not automatically cheaper or more reliable. It pays off when workloads are sized properly, when environments can be rebuilt from code, and when someone keeps watching the bill and the alerts after the move is done.

How it works

How We Move You to the Cloud

Every migration follows the same path, with a way back at every step until the new setup has proved itself.

  1. Assess

    We map workloads, dependencies and data before choosing a route.

  2. Design

    Landing zone, network and access model agreed up front.

  3. Build

    Environments written as code and reviewed like any change.

  4. Migrate

    Workloads moved in small waves, each tested before cut-over.

  5. Optimise

    Sizing, cost and reliability tuned once real traffic arrives.

What we provide

Cloud Services We Deliver

From a first move off ageing servers to the platform your products run on.

  • Cloud Migration

    Applications and databases moved from servers or another provider, with a plan for every workload.

    • Rehost, replatform or rebuild
    • Database migration
    • Planned cut-overs
  • Landing Zones & Architecture

    A secure, well-organised foundation of accounts, networks and access that the rest builds on.

    • Account and network design
    • Identity and access
    • Backup and recovery
  • Infrastructure as Code

    Every environment described in version-controlled code, so it can be reviewed and rebuilt.

    • Terraform modules
    • Matching environments
    • Reviewed changes
  • Cost & Reliability

    Ongoing work to keep the platform right-sized, resilient and easy to understand on the bill.

    • Cost reporting and tagging
    • Right-sizing
    • Scaling and failover

Under the hood

Infrastructure Written Down, Not Clicked Together

If an environment only exists in a console, nobody can review it, repeat it or rebuild it.

  • Reviewed like code

    Every change to the infrastructure goes through a pull request and a plan.

  • Same setup everywhere

    Staging and production come from the same modules, so they never drift apart.

  • Rebuilt, not repaired

    An environment can be recreated from code, not pieced back together from memory.

# Primary database for the app, private and encryptedresource "aws_db_instance" "app" {  identifier        = "${var.name}-${var.env}"  engine            = "postgres"  engine_version    = var.pg_version  instance_class    = var.db_class  allocated_storage = var.db_storage  db_subnet_group_name   = aws_db_subnet_group.private.name  vpc_security_group_ids = [aws_security_group.db.id]  publicly_accessible    = false  storage_encrypted      = true  multi_az               = var.env == "production"  backup_retention_period = var.backup_days  deletion_protection     = true  tags                    = local.tags}

Use cases

When Cloud Services Make Sense

Move where the cloud solves a real problem; stay put where it does not. These are the cases where moving wins.

  1. Servers reaching end of life

    Hardware or data centre contracts are due, and replacing like for like makes little sense.

  2. Demand that rises and falls

    Traffic peaks at certain times, and you are paying for the peak all year.

  3. Environments nobody can rebuild

    Setups were built by hand, and only one or two people know how they work.

  4. A cloud bill nobody understands

    You are already in the cloud, but costs grow without a clear reason.

Our process

Our Cloud Migration Process

A clear plan for every workload, then small waves that each end with something running in the cloud.

  1. Assessment

    We map workloads and dependencies, and choose a route for each one.

    • Workload inventory
    • Migration plan
  2. Foundation

    We build the landing zone, network and access model as code.

    • Landing zone
    • Security baseline
  3. Migration Waves

    We move workloads in small groups, testing each before cut-over.

    • Migrated services
    • Rollback plans
  4. Run & Optimise

    We monitor, right-size and hand over runbooks your team can follow.

    • Cost reports
    • Runbooks

  • Your accounts, your code

    Cloud accounts and infrastructure code belong to you from day one.

  • Everything as code

    No hand-built servers; every change is reviewed and repeatable.

  • Secure by design

    Access, encryption and backups set up before workloads arrive.

  • Costs you can read

    Tagging and reports that show what each service costs and why.

  • Handed over properly

    Runbooks and walkthroughs so your team can run it with confidence.

  • See what a first migration wave could look like.

    Walk us through what you run today. We will sketch the target setup and the first workloads to move.

Start a project

Tell us what you are building

A few lines is enough to start. Tell us the problem, not the solution, and we will come back with the questions that shape the plan.

What happens next

  1. We read it properly

    Someone who would work on the project reads your note and comes back with questions, not a sales script.

  2. We scope it together

    One call to agree the problem, the constraints and what finished looks like — before anyone talks about price.

  3. You get a proposal

    Scope, sequence, timeline and cost, in writing, with the risks we would plan for named up front.

Next step

Your Partner For What Comes Next. Let's Start The Conversation.

Starting is the easy part. Tell us where you are and what you are trying to reach, and we will map the route — the scope, the sequence, and the risks worth planning for now rather than later. From that first conversation through build, launch and everything after, the same team stays with it.
