What’s Included in Our Cloud Computing Services
Cloud Assessment & Roadmap
We catalog applications, data flows, and integrations, then benchmark security, performance, and compliance. You get a 12–24-month plan with quick wins, cost projections, and risk reduction tuned to Hillsborough realities—summer storms, occasional ISP blips, and event weekends Downtown. We document dependencies, choose lift-and-shift vs. modernize, define SLAs with RPO/RTO, and schedule change windows around fiscal deadlines and clinic peaks, so migrations land smoothly without disrupting teams near Churton Street and Waterstone.
Microsoft 365 & Azure Migrations
We stage identities, mail, files, and workloads for after-hours cutovers, validate access, and deliver next-morning floor support. Mailboxes, Teams/SharePoint, file shares, and selected servers move with rollback plans and pre-tested policies. Post-migration, we manage licensing, backups, and performance tuning. The result is secure collaboration that scales across Downtown, UNC Hillsborough, and business parks off US-70—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, reducing shadow IT and risky logins as staff move between Churton Street, NC-86, Waterstone, and home—without bottlenecks, shared passwords, or constant 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-flavored phishing simulations so clinics near UNC Hillsborough, county offices, and firms off US-70 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 Downtown, Waterstone, and corridors along I-85/I-40. Monthly scorecards show savings, trends, and next-best actions—no more mystery bills.
Backup, DR & Business Continuity (Cloud/Hybrid)
Backups only matter 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-85, I-40, or US-70. 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.
