Cloud Synergy

Services

Infrastructure services, run end to end.

Every service below scales from a single engagement to an ongoing managed plan.

01

Storage

Enterprise storage arrays sized, tiered and tuned for the workloads that actually run on them.

What we do

  • •Capacity planning and array sizing across block, file and object storage
  • •Performance tuning for latency-sensitive workloads (databases, VDI, VMs)
  • •Storage tiering, deduplication and replication design
  • •Vendor-neutral procurement guidance (Dell EMC, NetApp, Pure, HPE)

Problems solved

  • •Arrays running hot with no visibility into what's driving IOPS
  • •Capacity bought in a panic, then sitting half-used two years later
  • •Replication links that were never actually tested to fail over

Deliverables

  • •Sized and documented storage architecture
  • •Performance baseline and ongoing capacity forecast
  • •Tested replication and failover runbook
02

Backup & Recovery

Backup platforms that are proven to restore, not just proven to complete a job log.

What we do

  • •Backup platform design and deployment (Commvault, Cohesity, Veeam)
  • •Recovery point and recovery time objectives mapped to business impact
  • •Immutable and air-gapped copies for ransomware resilience
  • •Scheduled restore testing, not just backup-job monitoring

Problems solved

  • •Green dashboards with backups nobody has actually restored from
  • •RPO/RTO set once in a SOW and never revisited as the business grew
  • •No isolated copy to recover from if production and backups are both hit

Deliverables

  • •Documented RPO/RTO per workload tier
  • •Immutable backup copy with tested restore procedure
  • •Quarterly restore test report
03

Virtualization

Hypervisor platforms and clusters designed for density, resilience and a straightforward upgrade path.

What we do

  • •VMware, Hyper-V and KVM cluster design and health checks
  • •Resource pool tuning, HA/DRS configuration, patch cadence
  • •Licensing audits ahead of renewal or vendor change
  • •Hypervisor-to-hypervisor migration planning

Problems solved

  • •Clusters that have quietly drifted from their original design
  • •Unplanned downtime during patching because HA was never fully tested
  • •Licensing renewals that arrive as a surprise bill

Deliverables

  • •Cluster health report with remediation plan
  • •Documented HA/DRS and patch runbook
  • •Right-sized licensing position
04

Cloud

Azure and AWS landing zones that are governed from day one, not retrofitted after an incident.

What we do

  • •Landing zone design: networking, identity, policy and cost guardrails
  • •Workload placement: lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect
  • •Hybrid connectivity between on-premises storage and cloud compute
  • •Cost governance and reserved-capacity planning

Problems solved

  • •Cloud spend that nobody can map back to a specific workload
  • •Resources provisioned ad hoc with no tagging or policy
  • •A hybrid link that becomes the single point of failure

Deliverables

  • •Governed landing zone with policy guardrails
  • •Cost allocation and forecast model
  • •Resilient hybrid connectivity design
05

Complex Migrations

Storage array swaps, SAN changes and datacenter moves planned down to the rollback step.

What we do

  • •Storage array and SAN migrations with zero-downtime techniques where possible
  • •Backup platform migrations without a coverage gap
  • •Datacenter-to-datacenter and datacenter-to-cloud moves
  • •Cutover rehearsal and rollback planning

Problems solved

  • •A migration plan that only covers the happy path
  • •No tested way back if a cutover goes wrong at 2am
  • •Backup coverage that quietly lapses mid-migration

Deliverables

  • •Runbook with explicit go/no-go and rollback criteria
  • •Rehearsed cutover with a tested fallback
  • •Continuous backup coverage across the whole migration
06

Managed Services 24/7

Ongoing monitoring and operations so the infrastructure stays healthy between projects.

What we do

  • •24/7 monitoring across storage, backup, virtualization and cloud
  • •Patch management and firmware lifecycle tracking
  • •Incident response with defined escalation paths
  • •Monthly capacity, performance and risk reporting

Problems solved

  • •Infrastructure that's healthy right after a project, then drifts for a year
  • •Firmware and patch levels nobody is tracking across the estate
  • •Incidents discovered by users before they're discovered by monitoring

Deliverables

  • •24/7 monitored environment with defined SLAs
  • •Monthly health and capacity report
  • •Documented escalation and incident process
