Azure & Microsoft 365 Cloud Services
Cheshire | Liverpool | Wirral
Enterprise-grade cloud solutions from your local Microsoft Partner, without the enterprise price tag or complexity.
Your Cloud, Managed For You. Done Properly.
Your systems stay up, your data stays safe, your team stays productive. We handle the cloud so you can focus on your business.
You should not need to understand Azure to run your business. We take over your cloud infrastructure, keep it secure, keep it running, and make sure your data is protected and recoverable. Effortless onboarding in days, not months, with no disruption to your team.
The Azure Reality for Most Businesses
Bills Keep Growing
Started at £500/month. Now it's £2,000+ and nobody knows why. Test VMs still running. Premium storage for archive data. Licences for people who left.
No Architecture
Resources scattered across subscriptions. No naming conventions. No tagging. No management groups. Finding things requires tribal knowledge.
Security Gaps
Public endpoints everywhere. No network segmentation. Service accounts with owner permissions. Security Center recommendations ignored.
No Visibility
What's running? What's it costing? Who's using it? Is it performing? Nobody knows until something breaks or the invoice arrives.
"Someone Set It Up"
A consultant, a previous IT person, or "Dave who left." Nobody current knows how it works or why it was configured that way.
No Disaster Recovery
Backups exist (probably). But have they been tested? Can you actually restore? How long would it take? Usually the answer is "we don't know."
Azure isn't the problem. Unmanaged Azure is the problem.
Azure Services We Deliver
From virtual desktops to full infrastructure management. We meet you where you are and take you where you need to be.
Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD)
Cloud-hosted Windows desktops. Work from anywhere, any device. Your apps, your data, Microsoft's infrastructure.
- Windows 11 multi-session
- FSLogix profile management
- Auto-scaling for cost control
- Integrate with Intune and Conditional Access
Azure Infrastructure
Virtual machines, networking, storage. Properly architected, not just "spun up."
- Landing zone design
- Network segmentation
- ExpressRoute / VPN connectivity
- Management groups and policy
Azure Backup & DR
Backups that are actually tested. Recovery plans that actually work.
- Azure Backup for VMs and data
- Immutable backup (ransomware protection)
- Cross-region replication
- Regular DR testing
Azure Migration
Move from on-premises to Azure. Server by server or lift-and-shift, depending on what makes sense.
- Assessment and planning
- Azure Migrate tooling
- Minimal downtime migrations
- Post-migration optimisation
Cost Optimisation
Stop burning money. We find the 28-35% waste most Azure environments have.
- Reserved instance analysis
- Right-sizing recommendations
- Orphaned resource cleanup
- FinOps practices
Azure Security
Secure by design, not bolted on later.
- Defender for Cloud
- Network security groups

No Azure jargon without explanation. You'll understand what you're paying for and why it's configured that way.
Azure FAQs
We already have Azure. Can you take over?
Yes. We start with a health check to understand what's deployed, how it's configured, and what needs fixing. Then we can do one-off remediation or ongoing management.
How much does Azure cost?
It depends on what you need. A simple AVD environment might be £30-50/user/month. Complex infrastructure varies widely. We always provide cost estimates before deploying.
Can you migrate us from on-premises?
Yes. We assess your current environment, plan the migration, and execute with minimal downtime. We've migrated file servers, applications, databases, and entire datacentres.
What about our existing IT team?
We work alongside internal IT. Some clients want us to handle Azure entirely. Others want us for architecture and escalation. We're flexible.
Is Azure secure?
Azure is secure. Misconfigured Azure isn't. We implement Defender for Cloud, network controls, identity protection, and ongoing monitoring to keep it that way.
Can we use Azure and still have on-premises servers?
Yes. Hybrid is common. Azure Arc extends cloud management to on-prem. VPN or ExpressRoute connects the networks. Many clients run hybrid for years during gradual migration.
