We'll make your cloud portfolio reliable and cost-effective
Whether you are thinking of moving to the cloud, or want to optimise your existing resources, our expertise will make a difference.
Why use the Cloud?
A Cloud-native approach to your infrastructure can have numerous powerful advantages over an on-premises or single-server approach.
Scalability
Your infrastructure can grow to a size that matches your demand, even during peak times - and then scale down automatically when such intense workloads aren't necessary.
Flexibility
When your business changes, your infrastructure can too. When you grow to a new scale, or spin up a whole new business unit, you can meet demand with no need to overthink.
Cost control
Detailed billing allows you to track what you're using and pay for that alone, while making it possible to plan for further cost reductions using real-time data.
Security control
In an on-premises environment, it's very hard to stop an attacker once they've gained access to your resources. But with network micro-segmentation and granular policies, you can tailor, limit and track every access.
Availability is managed
In a datacentre, you must deal with any problem yourself: this is labour-intensive, slow and costly. Cloud-native solutions can redeploy automatically with minimal cost and downtime - and often without any manual user intervention.
Maintenance is managed
Tools like Kubernetes can take huge effort to upgrade, and even modifying individual servers and databases can be risky. Cloud tools can allow for seamless upgrades through rolling deployments or serverless approaches.
Challenges of the Cloud
Cloud computing can solve many problems, but nothing is perfect. There are a number of common difficulties and uncertainties we've seen regularly across companies.
Unsure where to start
It's one thing to be convinced of the benefits of the cloud, quite another to set up your first real system.
Cost growth
The Cloud offers cost control, but also many expensive features. These can grow rapidly if not paid attention to.
Combining tools
Your cloud systems must work with third-party resources and any locally-hosted tools. You may even wish to connect multiple cloud providers.
Clunky user experience
Your users — developers or customers — may be confused if too many tools are introduced together.
Keeping track
When it's easy to set up new resources, without clear structures it's also easy to forget what you have and what it's for.
Security and Compliance
Security is its own, critically important field.
