Cloud
Cloud technologies provide reliable solutions which can scale and retract at the click of a button. They provide a significant level of flexibility and agility that can be fined tuned to provide the highest level of security and performance for any small to medium business or enterprise.
EquiTech help organisations adopt a diverse range of Cloud Technologies. From Microsoft 365, to aaS migrations, to complex infrastructure deployments to full cloud hosting, in Microsoft Azure or even to private Datacenters.
For any organisation that is interested in looking at the cloud, either at the initial adoption of cloud technologies, or to complement other cloud functions they have in place our process focuses on
EquiTech Process
Evaluation
Evaluation of the viability of cloud hosting, assessing performance requirements of the workload, LAN and connectivity provisions, redundancy, latency and most important of all - Security.
Tying into this evaluation, the alternative routes and their viability, whether that be on-premise provisions or alternative cloud or aaS offerings.
Deployment
Deployment of the cloud provision, often with a precursor of running a Proof of Concept (PoC).
As stringent as we are in the Evaluation stage, only a live environment will provide a full reflection of the viability of cloud. With any deployment we ensure testing is paramount, and that a contingency plan is in place should any deployment not achieve the minimum success criteria of the PoC.
Optimisation
Optimisation is the step that often gets overlooked, meaning that either costs in the cloud can spiral or become significantly over-provisioned for the requirements.
Or more commonly, that cloud provisions become under-utilised, as the tools provided aren’t taken advantage off or adopted in full. EquiTech help to fine tune this wherever we can, looking to optimise Cloud provisions and fine tune them.
