Cloud & IT · Azure & servers

Servers and cloud, managed in one place

Move the right workloads to Microsoft Azure, keep what makes sense on site, and manage both with the same tools — with your data kept in Australia.

Sound familiar?

What we hear from customers

Our server is out of warranty and we don’t know what to replace it with.
The Azure bill keeps creeping up and nobody can explain why.
We still run Windows Server 2012 for an application we can’t move yet.
Nobody really watches the Linux servers.
We’re worried a migration will break our ERP or line-of-business apps.

What we do

From planning to day-to-day operations

Cloud readiness

Assessment of your servers and applications, with a recommendation: move, modernise or keep on site.

Azure migration

Planned migration to Azure in Australian regions, with testing and rollback.

Hybrid management

On-site servers connected to Azure for central monitoring, patching and security.

Server management

Windows and Linux servers patched, monitored and documented.

Cost optimisation

Right-sizing, reservations and monthly reporting so the bill stays predictable.

Legacy support

Extended Security Updates for older Windows Server while you plan the move.

Architecture

A secure, well-governed Azure foundation

We build on Microsoft’s recommended landing-zone approach, with Australia East as the primary region.

FAQ

Common questions

Do we have to move everything to Azure?

No. Hybrid is common — on-site servers can be monitored, patched and secured from Azure using Azure Arc.

Does our data stay in Australia?

Yes. We deploy to Australian Azure regions, typically Australia East with Australia Southeast as its paired region.

What about servers on Windows Server 2012?

Extended Security Updates can be delivered through Azure Arc, which keeps them patched while you plan a migration.

Server out of warranty or cloud bill too high?
