Networks, recovery and monitoring.
Networking across regions
Hub-and-spoke virtual networks, Global VNet Peering between regions, ExpressRoute connectivity and site-to-site VPN failover.
Planned disaster recovery
Paired-region disaster recovery for Azure virtual machines, and Azure Site Recovery for migrations off on-premises servers.
Governance as code
Azure Policy and Bicep templates enforce security configuration, deployed through Azure DevOps pipelines from a Git repository.
Monitoring you can read
Azure Monitor, Application Insights, Sentinel and Log Analytics, with KQL (Kusto Query Language) dashboards that show the effect on the services your staff use.
Delivered work
We led the migration of a UK university's servers to Azure, including paired-region disaster recovery and policy-as-code governance.
Common questions.
How is Azure priced?
You pay Microsoft for the Azure resources you use, plus a management fee to us. We quote the fee once we know what you run.
How long does a landing zone take?
Three to five weeks. Migration waves start from six weeks.
Is monitoring included in a managed bundle?
Growth includes alerting. Scale includes full dashboards across Azure Monitor, Application Insights and Sentinel.
What usually comes with it.
Managed Microsoft 365
Tenant, identity, Intune and a UK support desk, including Copilot agent identities.
Microsoft Fabric
Reporting built on one source of data, so the board sees one set of numbers.
Power Platform
Apps with proper testing, release and ownership, plus custom code where low-code runs out of road.
