Why Managed AWS


Why Managed Azure

Azure’s breadth is powerful, but unmanaged growth invites risk and cost creep. Our managed approach adds consistent guardrails, proactive security, and cost control, without slowing down delivery. You get predictable performance, clear accountability, and audit-ready evidence on demand.

Performance & Reliability

  • Landing-zone patterns and policy guardrails prevent drift
  • Resilient network and compute baselines for low latency and fast recovery
  • Autoscaling, health probes, and workload-aware tuning

Security & Identity Governance

  • Zero-trust by design with Conditional Access, RBAC, and PIM
  • Defender for Cloud hardening and Sentinel detections mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
  • Evidence collection and best-practice alignment for ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA, SOC 2

Cost Management & FinOps Alignment

  • Visibility meets control with budgets, tags, and showback/chargeback
  • Rightsizing and Reservations/Savings align spend to value
  • Monthly recommendations to keep costs predictable

Fully Managed & Supported

  • Security-centric, compliance-driven cloud operations
  • Proactive cost control & performance monitoring
  • Proven success in hybrid, multi-cloud, and Microsoft ecosystems

Reference Architecture


Reference Architecture

We establish an Azure landing zone across subscriptions and management groups so identity, logging, and policy guardrails are correct on day one. Networks follow hub-and-spoke VNets with Azure Firewall and Application Gateway/WAF; private access is enabled with Private Link and connectivity via Virtual WAN or ExpressRoute. Workloads run on Azure VMs/Scale Sets and AKS with golden images and GitOps. Data services leverage Azure SQL/SQL MI, Storage, and Key Vault. Telemetry flows into Azure Monitor/Log Analytics and Microsoft Sentinel. Backups and cross-region replication, plus ASR, provide robust recovery.

Common Use-Cases


Common Use‑Cases
  • Windows Server, Active Directory, Exchange, and SQL Server workload optimization
  • Hybrid cloud & Azure Arc/Azure Stack integration and workload mobility
  • New product platforms with AKS and container registries
  • Data & analytics with Azure SQL/MI, Storage, and event/streaming services
  • Security uplift with Defender for Cloud, Sentinel, and zero-trust identity
  • Cost remediation and FinOps governance

Migration & Modernization


Migration & Modernization

We start with a migration roadmap and landing-zone rollout, then integrate identity (Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM) and network foundations. Modernization options include AKS, serverless functions, and managed databases while adopting Azure DevOps and Infrastructure as Code (Bicep/Terraform). We perform Azure Well-Architected Reviews with remediation plans and align cloud transformation to measurable KPIs.
