What’s Included in Our Cloud Computing Services
Cloud Assessment & Roadmap
We inventory applications, integrations, and data flows, then benchmark security, performance, and compliance against your goals. You’ll receive a 12–24 month plan with quick wins, cost projections, and risk reduction tailored to Knightdale realities—summer storms, brief ISP blips near I-87/I-540, and weekend activity around Knightdale Station. We document dependencies, prioritize lift-and-shift vs. modernize, define SLAs with RPO/RTO, and schedule change windows to avoid peak retail and clinic hours on Knightdale Blvd.
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 selected servers move with tested rollback plans and policy baselines. Post-migration, we tune performance, manage licensing posture, and standardize backups. The result is secure collaboration that scales across Knightdale Station, Hodge Rd/Smithfield Rd corridors, and East Wake—without the maintenance drag of aging on-prem gear or 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 Knightdale Blvd, Old Faison Rd, Hodge Rd, 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. We 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 Smithfield Rd, offices off Knightdale Blvd, and East Wake logistics teams 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 Midway, Mingo Creek areas, and I-540 corridors. 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-87/US-64 or I-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.
