What’s Included in Our Cloud Computing Services
Cloud Assessment & Roadmap
We map applications, data flows, and integrations, then benchmark security, performance, and compliance. You’ll receive a 12–24 month plan with quick wins, risk reduction, and cost projections aligned to Cary realities—summer storms, beltline traffic, and clinic calendars. We document dependencies, choose lift-and-shift versus modernize, and define SLAs with RPO/RTO. We schedule change windows around Crossroads retail peaks and quarter-end near Weston and Regency, ensuring smooth migrations.
Microsoft 365 & Azure Migrations
We stage identities, mail, files, and workloads for after-hours cutovers, validate access, and provide next-morning floor support. Mailboxes, Teams/SharePoint, file shares, and chosen servers move with rollback plans and pre-tested policies. Post-migration, we manage licensing, backups, and performance tuning. The outcome is secure collaboration that flexes across Downtown Cary, Fenton, Preston, and RTP satellite teams—without the maintenance drag of aging on-prem gear or budget creep from ad-hoc cloud sprawl.
Identity & Access (Entra ID, SSO, MFA)
Identity is the perimeter. We enforce MFA everywhere, apply Conditional Access by risk, standardize role-based permissions, and automate device join for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android. Legacy apps get SSO where feasible; privileged roles use just-in-time elevation with immutable logs. Device compliance ties to access, cutting shadow IT and risky logins as staff move between Kildaire Farm Road, Cary Parkway, Davis Drive, and home—without bottlenecks or constant password resets.
Cloud Security & Compliance
We build defense in depth: secure baselines, patch cadence, endpoint protection, email security, and DLP. Enable Defender for Cloud, vulnerability management, encryption in transit/at rest, and key-vault hygiene. Policies align to HIPAA/FERPA/CCPA where applicable and produce auditor-ready evidence. Alerts are tuned to reduce noise; we run local phishing simulations so clinics near WakeMed Cary Hospital, offices around Regency Parkway, and labs tied to RTP block breaches and contain incidents quickly.
Cost Optimization & Governance
We right-size SKUs, commit where it pays, and tag resources for chargeback. Budgets and alerts prevent surprises; policies curb zombie storage and over-provisioned VMs. For Microsoft 365, we trim duplicate add-ons and align plans to real usage. Reserved Instances, autoscaling, and storage tiering lower run-rate without hurting performance for teams across Preston, Park West Village, and Weston Parkway. Monthly scorecards show savings, trends, and next-best actions—no more mystery bills.
Backup, DR & Business Continuity (Cloud/Hybrid)
Backups matter only if they restore fast. We implement immutable copies, geo-redundant replicas, and workload-specific RPO/RTO. Routine restore tests cover files, databases, and full systems; runbooks clarify who does what when power dips or an ISP hiccups along I-40, US-1, or NC-540. Hybrid designs add SD-WAN/VPN failover and prioritized app recovery, so finance, EHR, and line-of-business tools return in the right order every time.
