Identity & Access (Entra ID)
- MFA, Conditional Access & sign-in risk
- Least-privilege roles & Privileged Identity Management
- Guest access kept under control
Managed Cloud
Move from ageing servers to a secure, modern cloud workplace.
We help UK organisations leave legacy file servers and clunky VPNs behind. Shift to Azure and VPS where it fits, keep what must stay on-prem, and operate it all as one secure, scalable platform — with clear costs and no drama.

Private VPS & Hosted
- UK/EU datacentres with clear SLAs
- Single workloads or small hypervisors
- Monitoring, backups & OS hardening
Networking & Connectivity
- VNETs, NSGs, private endpoints & peering
- Site-to-site VPN / Azure VPN Gateway
- ExpressRoute where it genuinely helps
Backup, Storage & Recovery

Typical workloads we move
File servers → Azure Files
SMB shares with NTFS/ACLs, AD auth, tiering to cool/archival, private endpoints.
Line-of-business apps
Lift-and-shift VMs, modernise where viable, publish securely without VPN sprawl.
SQL workloads
SQL on IaaS or managed instances; backups, encryption & performance baselines.
Remote access
AVD or app publishing patterns, Conditional Access, device compliance & RBAC.
Migration playbook

Discover
Inventory identity, servers, apps, data, networking and costs. Map risks and dependencies.
Lightweight, read-only — no disruption.2
Design
Right-size target (Azure/VPS/hybrid), controls (CA/NSGs/backup), and a pragmatic sequence.
Plan for rollback and DR from day one.3
Migrate
Move workloads in waves. Validate performance, permissions and data protection.
Windows & Linux covered.4
Operate
Runbooks, change control, monitoring and monthly reporting. Then iterate and improve.
No drama — clear owners.Who does what (clear ownership)

Managed Cloud — FAQs
Do we have to move everything to Azure?
No. Many customers run a mix: Azure for scale/connectivity, private VPS for fixed workloads, and on-prem for specialist kit. We coordinate the lot with clear ownership.
Windows and Linux?
Both. We manage Windows Server (including Active Directory where required) and common Linux distributions, with proper patching, baseline hardening and monitoring.
Do you back up Microsoft 365?
Yes — but that sits with our Microsoft 365 service alongside governance and adoption. See the dedicated page: Microsoft 365 services.
Data residency & compliance
We favour UK or EU regions/providers, align to Cyber Essentials controls and document shared responsibility. We’ll discuss any sector-specific requirements during onboarding.
How do you price it?
Transparent commercials based on scope (users, servers, sites and criticality). No lock-ins — just clear monthly fees and agreed project costs when needed.
